The author of this blog post has taken to a soap box to shout out, "The Golden Age of MOOCs is over" and that he hates Coursera.
Wow. Really? Do I want to even read what this is about? Fine.
"Of late we have seen MOOC providers caring less about the students and more about the $$$".
Oh boy, here comes the assault on reason.
"they should stop the game of telling people that they care for students and are here to “provides universal access to the world’s best education”."
Yeah, that's enough for me. Tarun Vangani needs a reality check.
Coursera has brought much good to the world. It has to provide good to the world in an economically sustainable way.
It would be great if the Macarthur Foundation gave its $100 Million grant to Coursera so that it could continue to focus on its mission. Hopefully, Coursera qualifies and applies for it.
