Until then, MOOCs are a minefield. To the tech companies pushing MOOC, solve those problems first.

@randymarchany Maybe it's not the MOOC provider's responsibility to vet the students. Employers must still verify capabilities of new hires.

@hal_pomeranz No one except EDUs are worried about verification. Solve authentication problem then do MOOCs not the other way around.

@randymarchany That sounds like an excuse not to do MOOCs emanating from an entrenched special interest group...

@hal_pomeranz because we didn't solve the verification issue. How to verify 150K ids when they're all over the world?

@randymarchany I don't think you can. Suggest two tiers: course for credit requires (onerous) verification, anybody else can audit for NC.

@hal_pomeranz Audit for NC is what EDUs want to do now. Legislatures want to do online for credit now. Remember the UVA mess.
