While the use of MOOCs to replace large lectures and focus on one-on-one and few-to-few interaction is eminently logical, this is something that&#x27;s arguably been an option since the widespread availability of VCRs.<p>I&#x27;m not quite ready to pronounce the death of MOOCs in the transform college education as opposed to a new form of vocational training yet but IMO we&#x27;re pretty close. Whatever impact they&#x27;ve had on overachievers who may or may not have had access to traditional higher education, they have failed to broadly change education in any way and the major VC-funded examples haven&#x27;t succeeded financially.
