MOOC isn't a racket yet. It could be. I am ambivalent about it, skeptical rather than a booster. Here my university is working with Coursera to offer lectures on contemporary India via Nalanda University (a historical university reinvented by the government of India along with international partners, including the National Univ of Singapore). Amartya Sen, Sugata Bose, and some of us are being drawn into this. I will be attending my first Coursera meeting on Tuesday. Let us see what's in store. The technical constraints are well recognized here as well.
