Hear hear! Finally some rebellion. I'll save the analysis for later, but this in general is an encouraging response. MOOCs might enable certain extensions of learning when it's not possible or desirable (financially or otherwise) to have access to real teaching, but they should not and hopefully will never replace or even claim to replace real universities with real professors. Reduction of education to simple learning of facts and information will drive the world into the ground. It has certainly already begun, as have the results. What we need is more generalized, humanist, liberal arts and sciences education, not less. I swear to you if I have to work with one more one-track single-minded robot programmer I'm going to start cursing. For pete's sake, get some breadth and human contact—the only way to a true education. I want to see more of this type of response to MOOCs, and frankly, I wouldn't care if the entire concept was forcibly rejected from society. That would be a start.
