[liberationtech] MOOC'd

[David Johnson]

Dear all,

We just ran a package of stories on MOOCs that may be of interest to list
members.

First, we have Stanford's Rob Reich correcting some of the excessive claims
of proponents and critics ...

Second, we have former Princeton President William Bowen with a critical
assessment of their potential for education ...

Then we have Thomas Leddy, philosopher at San Jose State, explaining his
negative stance towards his university's embrace of MOOCs ...

And finally we have a piece by yours truly examining the close ties between
the president of San Jose State and Cisco and his cheerleading for MOOCs ...

Best wishes,
