To MOOC or not to MOOC? [Infographic]

The interesting infographic above takes a look at some of the pros and cons of MOOCS, and some statistics about their successes and popularity. 

MOOCS – Still Going Strong?

MOOCS offer lots of advantages:

• They are usually free
• Offers a solution to facility overcrowding
• Creates a dynamic archive of class material
• Force professors to improve lectures
• Break down distance barriers

There are also disadvantages:

• There is a lot of motivation based on profits
• “Wal-martification” of higher education
• Cost cutting to privatize public higher education
• Creates a two-tier higher education system: “real” education for those who can afford it, and “bargain” education for those who can’t.

A few statistics:

• MOOCs have a 93% failure rate (meaning 93% of enrolled participants don’t finish – for a variety of reasons. Not necessarily because they tried and couldn’t do it).
• The student teacher ratio is 150,000 to 1 – that’s a lot. 
• 2 billion potential learners in the world
