There is quite a bit of good discussion in this post from Michael Feldstein on the EdX acquisition, but it really comes down to the last paragraph, which sums it up for me as well: "I'm not particularly interested in the vague promises of two rich universities to do good in the world with their $700 million windfall from a non-profit that was supposed to educate the whole world. I'd like to see a credible plan this time, including a theory of change." This, I think, would be a tall order, given that the primary raison d'être for the xMOOC was to prevent real change from happening.
