Neil Mosley's argument in a nutshell: "The MOOC period of the 2010s, though fuelled by an unhelpful and misguided level of hype, served as a catalyst for investment in online education by UK universities. However, this investment, in aggregate, did not deliver significant long-term returns and failed to provide a platform from which many institutions could build." In order to avoid repeating this mistake, he argues, "Universities need to think of online learning as a long game, rather than a short-term opportunity, and insulate their efforts against another common source of waste in the sector: the frequent cycle of disruption caused by new leaders abandoning existing projects in favour of their own ideas or visions." But there's no reason why existing long-term projects can't also be a waste of resources.
