Short and to the point, this analysis by Reich and Ruipérez-Valiente report on the 'blue ocean strategy' of early MOOC platforms. Key statements include:
  • Rather than creating new pathways at the margins of global higher education, MOOCs are primarily a complementary asset for learners within existing systems.
  • A strategy that depends on bringing new learners into higher education cannot succeed if educational institutions cannot support learners in converting their time and financial investment into completing a course to earn a credential with labor market value.
Well worth reading!
