The approach to MOOCs should be done differently:
1) The courses should be VIGOROUS and SELF-PACED (no quarter, semester).
2) Billed on a monthly subscription.
Students are short-sighted:
1) They can load up on more classes concurrently.
2) Spend more time on hard courses and breeze through on easy ones.
3) Have access to more courses and not be constrained by univ. budget or professor availability.
Basically, the students get more for their money in the near term. At some point, the tuition will flatten out and potentially increase access to those who could not previously afford to attend.
