MOOCs & the Silicon Valley Narrative

Education is broken!

Education is ripe for disruption!

MOOCs are technological

solution!

Outsiders with new ideas!

An irresistible narrative

“The failure of MOOCs to disrupt higher education has nothing to do with the quality of the courses themselves, many of which are quite good and getting better. Colleges are holding technology at bay because the only thing MOOCs provide is access to world-class professors at an unbeatable price.”

Revolution is demanded

Loss of terms

Open vsClosed

MOOCs as revolution vsMOOCs as irrelevant

Commercial vsState
