“The traditional university is being unbundled.Some will need to specialise in teaching alone – and move away from the traditional lecture to the multi-faced teaching possibilities now available:• the elite university• the mass university• the niche university• the local university• the lifelong learning mechanism.”

“I am concerned that the computer scientists seem to be taking over online education. Ivy League MOOCs are being driven mainly by computer scientists, not educators. Politicians are looking to computer science to automate learning in order to save money”.http://www.tonybates.ca/2014/04/15/time-to-retire-from-online-learning/#sthash.S9eWnZiM.dpuf

“The Working Group took a balanced view of the significance of MOOCs. Its members could find no evidence that they were likely to overturn established higher education practice or sweep away existing institutions, as predicted by their more excited advocates. On the other hand the advent of high quality online courses and resources, available easily to anyone, free and world-wide, is clearly significant”
