dc.description.abstractWe all agree that the Year of the MOOC is over and that the promises of cost effective new business models to solve deeply entrenched problems are turning out to be hollow. Turns out that MOOCs are serving an existing over-subscribed group of male graduates from the global north and that access to and for the world's poorest countries has been low. Turns out the quality is as good or as bad as any other course. (And we won't talk about completion rates!) With the discourse largely about business models rather than pedagogical models, should we not shrug and turn away?en_ZA
