The problem w/ MOOCs are that many students lack the discipline to successfully finish the class. A blended approach (classroom + online) is the best combination, imo.
- Balgair 13y agoI agree! Imagine taking a chem class entirely online without a lab. Obviously, certain classes need the skills and hands on approach. Also, Weight Watchers is a good example here. The effort to loose 50 lbs. and the effort to learn calculus are comparable. You do need that social component to motivate you along. Ok, ok, I need it. Still, the days of the professor-preacher are coming to a close. The days of the super-star explainers and lots of grunt lab assistants are coming. Sort-of like Turbo-Tax and the accounting industry.
