How to get rid of massive waitlists for college courses and turn professors into rock stars - John Duhring, GigaOM

There has been rapid growth in the number of online-only college courses that have accredited professors teaching audiences that can number in the tens of thousands. This development could be a huge boon for students, professors and universities.... What are we to make of this? Millions of people around the world want to take online course, but the current offerings are too rigorous and not yet suited to their needs. And this is a problem? Sounds to me like we are engaging a whole new set of students and developing new methods to invite them to pursue their dreams through the courses and classes they can take online. If the goal is spreading knowledge and education, then MOOCs are wildly succeeding. http://www.dailydemocrat.com/editorial/ci_22860460/editorial-academics-and-lawmakers-collide-over-online-classes
