I'm attending an expert meeting on MOOC quality for the Commonwealth of Learning in Malaysia right now, so it was interesting (and yes, amusing) to read about Australia's plans to grab a large share of the MOOC 'market'.

It may sound crazy, but "International education is already Australia's third-largest export industry, garnering nearly $19 billion in 2015, beaten only by coal and iron ore." You might wonder how Australia can earn money on 'open' learning, but of course online learning has developed into a lucrative market, as witness these courses that Dave Cormier introduced me to this week.
