Coursera's director of business and market development Julia Stiglit says the MOOC revolution is not over. "I think it's just beginning. I really do... It's something that's still evolving, but the place where I see Coursera and MOOCs in right now is in the space of lifelong learners, who are really looking for educational opportunities." I think that open online learning will continue, and maybe even a form created specifically for older learners who like traditional courses. My vision of the future of open online learning, though, is wider than this.
