MOOCs and Entertainment

Rebecca Schuman shares her thoughts about Thomas Friedman's predictions about MOOCs . Friedman predicts positive things about MOOCs, while Schuman and Richard Wolff air concerns about the utility or educational benefit of these massive online courses.

My take: It seems to me that that MOOCs are a good answer if someone just wants a "sage on a stage." MOOCs are too massive for much interaction with faculty.
