Hardly a day goes by without a story appearing in a major news outlet about Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs). While most of the headlines reference MOOCs, the real issues are quite broad in scope, covering everything from whether higher education as we know it is on the verge of combusting, to big, bold experiments using technology to deliver education in transformative ways on a global scale.
While the exact discussions seem to change on a constant basis, some of the current hot topics include:
- Proposed legislation in California
- The swirl of possibilities around business models for so-called xMOOCs
- Increased demand for production and availability of open textbooks
