As long as the triangle T L A is not conceptually and technically closed, MOOC will be paralyzed and powerless.
ED technologist are not brave enough! They start from the easiest, safest side: the course offered to and taken by a learner. But we need also:
MOOC is not revolutionary enough! Many times more fascinating would be a massive open on-line market (MOOM) where professional human teachers, learners and assessors would find each other in a Mutual Open Virtual Education (MOVE) kernel in such a way, that their open interaction would be optimal with respect to all educational and psychological requirements. This is currently neither the case in traditional HE nor in future MOOC (as conceived by its proponents).
