It isn't MOOCs which is killing them in any case, though. Or do you disagree?

- t_mann 1y agoDepends on whether we're talking about MOOCs in a narrow sense or online learning more generally.
- vintermann 1y agoSo you think online learning is killing college? That doesn't sound very likely to me. Why do you think it is?
- t_mann 1y agoIt's a factor, together with high tuition fees, demographic changes, changing attitudes about credentialism (the political tide turning against liberal elite institutions), the cheap 24/7 availability of excellent learning materials online might kill "college as we know it" (in the US). US college is much more than education, it's a lifestyle, with lavish amenities, extracurriculars, varsity sports, all sorts of counselling. It's a bit of an anomaly, most universities globally are much more bare-bone. If US students start value shopping, the US college landscape might start to look more like that.
