MOOCs - what do we think?

BBC Arts Editor Will Gompertz "interviews Daphne Koller & Andrew Ng, co-founders of Coursera, the company that is revolutionising education much in the same way that Amazon and iTunes turned publishing and music on their heads. Daphne and Andrew have together created a platform which allows anyone from anywhere in the world (who has internet access) to attend lectures and classes given by the best teachers in the world - for free. Universities as we know them may soon be a thing of the past" (Radio 4 web site). See what you think by listening to this 30 min introduction to MOOC phenomenon.
