My experience suggests that MOOCs are a valid option that L&D professionals should include in their professional development portfolio; and MOOCs will only be a valid mainstream option for technical capability development when (if?) courses are developed on relevant subjects, and where the organisation supports the learners to apply the content in their workplace and learn from the experience.
With many critics prophesying the early doom of MOOCs, there are some things to learn from some recent happenings in the market. Read ahead to find out what it is.
While not yet proven, a new learning trend that has caught my eye is MOOCs, which stands for “massively open online courses.” What is striking about MOOCs is that they involve some of the nation’s most prestigious educational institutions and their star professors.
MOOCs have been likened to Monsters. But has educational technology been able to successfully tame them? There is an anticipation of the time when the MOOCs will take shape and mature. There is more to MOOCs than we think. Read to know more.
Well I don't normally do such posts :) And as my professor from college advised "Predicting, specially about the future is hazardous" :)
But I thought, at the most, what can happen by Dec 2014? At worst I will have egg on my face, at best you'll not remember I posted this :D

Having finished up the second round of ELT-Techniques on Jason R. Levine’s ELT MOOC in 2013, it’s time to share some honest insights about the experience before we step into another New Year where all of us will be re-examining goals, priorities and values at work.
Another year of blogging draws to a close, this time dominated by the themes of MOOCs, open badges and the future of e-learning.
MOOCs (Massive Ope Online Courses) are definitely a game changer in today's education. The emergence and popularization of MOOCs is due primarily to the widespread of internet connection and to the advance of web 2.0 technologies. MOOCs now are being offered by some prestigious colleges and institutions including MIT, Berkerly, and Harvard. So what are MOOCs all about ?
This is the provocative motion of this year’s ONLINE EDUCA BERLIN debate. The much-imitated event is a perennial favorite at the Conference; year after year, its mixture of incisive analysis, provocative statesmanship, audience participation and good plain fun make it one of the biggest crowd-pullers.
MASSIVE open online courses, or MOOCs, offered by universities have the potential to shake up education. People yearn to learn, but many enroll on MOOC courses only to flunk out after a few lessons. MOOCs are ill-suited to their medium: they are long and lack interaction. That is why less formal alternatives are doing well.
