Yet another post complaining about MOOCs (based on the Stanford/Udacity model only). Here's the gist: "there's basically no direct, individual instruction, evaluation, or interaction with anyone who knows what they're doing. Period." Which is to me quite ironic because in our MOOCs the main criticism was that there was too much Downes and not enough other people - participants expected it to be a lot less about the instructors. And as one commenter noted, "many MOOCs focus more on the Open part than the Massive part. Certainly the original ones like DS106 or Connectivism did/do."
