Interesting study that makes us focus on the people for whom MOOCs were actually designed (hint: it's not rich kids or teachers already in educational institutions): "Among the education seekers who are not in a traditional academic setting, disadvantaged populations are more likely to report educational benefits. Education seekers from developing countries were more likely to report educational benefits; those with low socioeconomic status were more likely to report benefits than those with higher status; and those without a postgraduate degree were more likely to report benefits than those with one."
