MOOCs in 2014: Breaking Down the Numbers - Dhawal Shah, EdSurge

At TechCrunch Disrupt this year, Coursera Co-Founder Daphne Koller claimed that 2014 is the year MOOCs will come of age. An ecosystem has now developed around MOOCs: hundreds of people employed full-time (the big three--Coursera, Udacity and edX--employ more than a hundred people each), thousands of people involved in the creation of MOOCs, many millions in funding, and, importantly, millions in revenue. 400+ UNIVERSITIES. 2400+ COURSES. 16-18 MILLION STUDENTS. This year, the number of universities offering MOOCs has doubled to cross 400 universities, with a doubling of the number of cumulative courses offered, to 2400. 22 of the top 25 US universities in US News World Report rankings are now offering courses online for free. https://www.edsurge.com/n/2014-12-26-moocs-in-2014-breaking-down-the-numbers
