The future of the massive online open course


Fiona Hollands


TEDxTeachersCollege








This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. Are MOOCs (Massive Online Open Courses) really more cost effective? Are they democratizing education? Fiona Hollands, Associate Director at the Center for Benefit-Cost Studies of Education at Teachers College, assesses the current state of MOOCs to determine their potential impact on higher education.

Fiona Hollands is Associate Director at the Center for Benefit-Cost Studies of Education at Teachers College, Columbia University. Hollands' work has centered on applying the methods of cost-effectiveness analysis to educational programs, with the aim of demonstrating how policymakers can optimize the use of resources in education. Hollands has conducted a study of Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) to understand the goals of institutions who are developing and delivering these courses, their costs and impact on educational outcomes, and expectations for whether and how this phenomenon may change the landscape of learning.
