David Seelow, “A Good MOOC Is Hard to Find”

David Seelow has published an essay-overview about ModPo. Near the beginning is this: “When the MOOC fanfare exploded around 2012, the platform pitched three appealing features: free cost, unlimited unenrollment, star professors. All three features are still true but shown to have significant limitations. The free cost is great. Even a certificate of completion generally only costs about $49 on Coursera, the largest MOOC platform. However, a certificate of completion does not carry or even merit credit. Consequently, I like to think of MOOCs as a form of continuing education like professional development courses or adult education. Given that caveat, MOOCs still have some real value.”
