Jim Groom offers opinions on where open online courses should be headed - and it's not straight into content-silos such as those offered by the big-name MOOCs. "No students in these corporate-wrapped course spaces are asked to take any ownership of the work they do. There is no aggregation or syndication, and even if there was—given that scaling is at the heart of this business model—how much of the architecture will be freely shared?" He points to Martin Hawksey's excellent blog post Show me your aggregation architecture and I'll show you mine, and I will say, I've always put my aggregation engine out there, hoping someone will build something open source and great (and ideally in Perl, though that might be hoping for the moon).
