If you haven’t heard of MOOCs, you no doubt will, because these Massive Open Online course are becoming all the rage, tagged as the biggest thing in public education since, well, the dawn of public education. (It wasn’t long ago that the Khan Academy was). My colleague Nick Anderson reported about the emergence of the MOOCs movement as a disruptive force in higher education. But there are reasons to think MOOCs are being hyped, and below, former schools superintendent Larry Cuban explains why. Cuban is a former high school social studies teacher (14 years, including seven at Cardozo and Roosevelt high schools in the District), district superintendent (seven years in Arlington, VA) and professor emeritus of education at Stanford University, where he has taught for more than 20 years. His latest book is “As Good As It Gets: What School Reform Brought to Austin.” This appeared on his blog.

"More than one-third of all college students are taking at least one online course, according to the Babson Survey
Research Group’s most recent Survey of Online Learning. That’s more than 6.7 million students. And those students are
taking courses that have been tested by years of experience and that have been reviewed as part of regular accreditation
reviews of colleges. Some students are entirely online, while others are traditional students, enrolled at physical campuses,
but taking some of their education online."
