• Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs): A Gamechanger or Not?

  Apr 4, 2013

  This was a presentation co-sponsored by IISE, GSPIA and the Global Studies Center, UCIS. Building on an earlier presentation, it argues that while it was too soon to tell the extent of MOOCs disruptive power, they were too important to be ignored. They have already made a disruptive mark in elite universities in their introduction of 'viral policies' which senior administrators and trustees believe they are compelled to address. The University of Virginia's well-respected president briefly lost her job when some trustees believed she wasn't moving fast enough to adopt them. On the financial side, they can be expensive to produce, thus possibly limiting new entrants. A brief comparison between two universities offering similar courses revealed the production quality of the higher investment private university was visible when compared with the lower production quality of the lower investment public university. Was it enough to produce a competitive edge? The University of Pennsylvania currently touts over one million Coursera students.

• MOOCs: EFFICIENCY FRAMEWORKS: BLURRING BOUNDARIES

  Mar 14, 2013

  This paper tracks the very rapid rise of Massive Open Online Courses, discussing the differences between expert or xMOOCs founded at Stanford in the fall of 2011, and connective or cMOOCs designed earlier by a group of Canadians. It poses both kinds of MOOCs as disruptive technologies, not only because of their use of Internet technologies, but also because of the speed of change generated by new entrants from non-profit and for-profit startup companies. Instead of its tradition of faculty deliberation, many elite university trustees and administrators have felt compelled to leap first and think later. In addition, research in the area of higher education policy has also been disrupted by the rapid speed of change. For example, points made in this paper before I left for the conference were already obsolete by the time I arrived. This speed challenges not only institutional forms of deliberation and governance, it also challenges more traditional forms of higher education policy research, peer review and publication. It is an exciting and complicated arena, full of opportunities and pitfalls.
