I'm very excited about the huge range of possibilities MOOCs open up Businesses have argued for years that traditional institutions don't prepare students with the skills they (the businesses) would like them to have. I can see businesses working together to design a "degree" & approaching institutions to cover all the different classes, then post them as MOOCs Young people could be hired with only a 2-year Associate degree (I think it is good that they get some general, broad studies first & learn what college classes are like in a more traditional atmosphere), then finish their degree in a work/study atmosphere at the company, without as much horrible debt. The businesses would help to pay the costs of running the MOOC. The classes are still open to anyone. This may not work for everyone, but how many of you are in IT and more or less did this already? Perhaps there are flaws with that plan, or better ways to implement it, but the point is - Do you see the possibilities this opens up?
