Limitations/Problems

25/6/2016

 Less student-teacher or peer interaction due

to large class sizes

 Very few students complete the entire course  Need to improve the retention rate by

providing incentives

 Universities to offer credits for MOOCs?  Employers to accept MOOC certificates?

 Trade off between quality of material vs. ease of understanding for everyone  Self sustaining revenue models  Difficult to test authenticity of student  How should the grading be for such a large class?  How to prevent cheating?
