Up until today I would have agreed with that. MOOCs seemed sort of like Betamax or steam cars, kind of neat ideas that for whatever reason never really caught on. But today I received a solicitation from Yorktown University that at least made me reconsider that stance.
Yorktown, as some may recall, is/was an online university briefly accredited by DETC, offering courses from a conservative or free-market point of view. Perhaps we are finally seeing what MOOCs are actually good for.
