The suggestion is to change the name MOOC because "they might be small, they might not be open, and they might be wholly different from the MOOCs first offered by Stanford professors in 2011, not to mention the earlier iterations in 2008." One prediction is actually a directive:colleges saving money using MOOCs should "invest in experiential learning for the students who don't fare well in online learning experiences." The second prediction is a prediction: "Over the next seven years, (MOOCs) will be recognized by employers and gain credibility generally."
