?MOOC-phobia? ? I?m enjoying all the MOOCterms that are getting invented to explain these new phenomena.
?There?s a distinction that people often don?t make,? said Professor Thrun, ?which is whether these classes reach existing students and take away business, or whether they reach new students and add to the business??
While that question is being answered, MOOC-phobia continues to spread. Last year, the University Professional and Continuing Education Association entitled its annual conference ?Resilience.? This year?s event is called ?Disruption 2.0.?
?Everybody should be afraid of MOOCs,? said Gary W. Matkin, dean of continuing education, distance learning and summer session at the University of California, Irvine, ?although there are some that should be more afraid than others.?
