In past MOOCs, authors engaged in Twitter chats, had guest speakers via YouTube, prompted educators to share their reflections through blogs and Facebook groups and challenged participants to create a weekly visual of their learning.

Much like how social media giants Facebook and Twitter are utilizing our digital footprints to better understand consumer behavior, teachers are also turning to data analytics to learn more about their students. MOOCS (massive online open courses) are different from virtual classes, and are usually offered by colleges and universities.

This morning Richard Grusin posted a series of twenty tweets presenting a highly critical and thought provoking view of MOOCs. MOOCs are the bastard children of 1980s cyber-utopianism and post-1945 economic neoliberalism. MOOCs are a 21st century manifestation of cyberspace’s revolutionary ideology of information freedom.

MOOCs, shorthand for massive open online courses, have been widely critiqued for their miniscule completion rates. This does not necessarily make MOOCs a failure. 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.

Could the rise in MOOC-based and other certificates affect how traditional college degree paths are designed? Many #DLNchat-ters define them as MOOC providers including edX and Coursera and bootcamps such as General Assembly and Kenzie Academy. But first, who are these nontraditional providers?
