MOOCs in the Muck

| Good question! |
Inside Higher Ed today runs an article on MOOC offerings at the U of Texas and Cornell. At the former, there are the usual extremely low completion rates. At the latter, resident students are asking the question in the photo at the right:
…”A year after UT began rolling out nine Massive Online Open Courses, the results are in,” The Daily Texan wrote in a Jan. 29 editorial… Among the “results” are completion rates ranging from 1 to 13 percent, the lack of credit granting courses and the $150,000 to $300,000 production costs… (S)tudents at Cornell voiced similar concerns, arguing that “the administration has not yet outlined how MOOCs will benefit Cornell students.”
