Shiny New

One thing that annoys me about all the MOOCS WILL REPLACE UNIVERSITIES discussions is that it's 2015. Literally the only thing that can be done relatively easily now that couldn't be done as easily 10-15 years ago is streaming video. That's it. And streaming video has been pretty easy to do for about the last 8-10 years. Otherwise, all of the technology needed to make an accessible course in a box has existed for quite some time. There isn't any new magic here.
