The place of ‘the teacher’ in relation to open content
Jenny Mackness, Jenny Connected, January 31, 2012.

We've had a cancellation and as a result are collectively catching our breath in #Change11, which is probably a good thing (it allows me to pause and catch my breath in CCK12, which also got off to a vigorous start). And Jenny Mackness gets at the central question we are trying to answer with MOOCs: "Sir John Daniel as long ago as 1996 warned that traditional universities cannot create enough supply. So the question that was raised is, how do we scale up teaching without simply throwing content at people." After more than three years working with MOOCs, I still think it's a good question. And I'm thinking about how we can improve the existing model to made them more engaging, interactive and supportive to learners. (Hits Today: 4 Total: 1345) [Direct Link] [Tags: Open Content]

Yes traditional universities cannot create enough knowledge for people.
But now MITx can supply best knowledge to evryone in the world at no cost.
Even a certificate at nominal cost
