What do we really need? • a dedicated small team
• incentives for teachers (non only money: hours of work, rating, awards)
• a central strategy
• key peolple inside each department
• outside connections (a regional / national /european web of MOOCs?)

Do we really want MOOCs?
NOT if we want
• defend our garden (as teacher, as department, as university) and the traditional vision of the Academy
• put the (low) budget in the tradition
• preserve traditional education
• accept the power of bureaucracy inside the university

Can education be really massive and global?
• huge numbers (effective education?)
• huge numbers / students as numbers (distruptive innovation)
• english based and USA rule (another blow to cultural diversity)
• traditional universities and MOOCs are in natural competition (?)
