to the center of the world’s political
economy, but there is also a tendency to
produce and trade in symbolic
significations rather than concrete
products. Today knowledge rather than
traditional skill is the main productive
force.”
- Aronowitz & DiFazio

MOOCs: Expectations & Reality
• FREE MOOCs only from wealthy institutions
• MOOCs are NOT “democratizing” education
• MOOC costs: $39K to $325K
• Online & hybrid learning is here to stay
• MOOCs catalyzed shift supporting Elearning
F. Hollands & D. Tirthali
89. • Learners who access OER and
acquire knowledge/skills cannot
have their learning assessed and
accredited
• OER Pathways
• +30 institutions/orgs on 5
continents
91. Mini-MOOC model?
• OER first lessons
• Assessment/accreditation for $50
• Award 1 credit? (3 credits = 1 semester
course)
• Recruit students to pay fee for final two
credits
92. •Present systems
• are unsustainable
• are not scalable
•NEED: cost-effective learning systems with quality
•MOOCs are part of any solution
• How many learners??
