The New York Times provides a brief summary of how some MOOC “set-backs” are forcing a “rethinking of how college instruction can best use the Internet.” The article quotes George Siemens, who states “We’re moving from the hype to the implementation. It’s exciting to see universities saying, ‘Fine, you woke us up,’ and beginning to grapple with how the Internet can change the university, how it doesn’t have to be all about teaching 25 people in a room. Now that we have the technology to teach 100,000 students online, the next challenge will be scaling creativity, and finding a way that even in a class of 100,000, adaptive learning can give each student a personal experience.”
