What is the purpose?

Because our peers are doing so?
Because it might become important?
Because we don't want to be left behind?
Institutional relations and student recruitment
Service to address issues of public importance
To create an affordable (sub-$10,000) degree, on a massive scale, taught by pedigreed faculty
To cost-effectively meet the demand for foundation courses (as in SJSU Udacity project - currently on "pause")
To leverage MOOC approaches to offer a sub $7,000 Masters in Computer Science at Georgia Tech

What design and delivery considerations differentiate MOOCs from traditional online courses?

What about those 10% completion rates at Coursera?

And the 50% dropout rates at SJSU for remedial courses from Udacity?

Survey finds that course topic and the promise of an engaging learning experience trump all other factors in attracting & retaining students MOOCs (Canvas and Qualtrics)
