MOOCs have been developing for a few years now. As educators, we have all wondered where they are going and how do I use them? From a business standpoint, how will they ever maintain economically? This TED video gives an ideas of how we can use them in education.

What a great concept! The MOOC can be developed with time, skill, technology, and expertise. Schools can then purchase the online "textbook" to use in their classrooms using the blended model. What a great way to provide quality education to places where there potentially is not a trained teacher in an area needing to be taught.
How will this change what we think about MOOCs?
