That was at the height of the buzz around MOOCs, and about a year after the start of edX, the online course platform founded by Harvard and MIT. He was referring to the business school’s well-known teaching method that uses “case studies,” which the school produces and sells as well.

“The digitization of healthcare with more data and machine learning has created a skill set that many people didn’t study in school.” EdX, a nonprofit MOOC platform, has similarly been offering courses from universities trying to reach a wider audience of medical professionals looking to satisfy CME requirements.

But Charles Severance , a University of Michigan professor who also teaches massive open online courses (MOOCs) on Coursera , doesn’t think higher education will be terribly affected, he tells EdSurge.

That’s a far cry from five years ago, when only 5 percent of the students were finishing the MOOCs I was designing. Use the power of peer pressure.

A decade ago, large-scale online courses known as MOOCs were all the rage, touted as a possible alternative to traditional college and celebrated in the popular press. So much so that one professor thinks that higher ed should probably be nervous—or at least that colleges should try to learn something from these well-funded efforts.
