Revolution Hits the Universities - NYTimes.com
Every so often "something" doesn't just 'emerge' from out of thin air but 'erupts.' This phenomenon of MOOC is erupting in a very short period of time. See the article from The New York Times on the topic. Very exciting to me as it has the possibility of completely opening up education to the whole world for a minimal cost compared to sending a student to university. There are hurdles for sure such as internet to remote areas, language (MOOC is largely English at its birth), facilitators to GO to the remote areas, etc. One of the most amazing things to me is that the folks that have more to lose from this (universities) are the ones who are opening the door.
