MOOC

Good MOOC, Bad MOOC Venture capitalists who have poured at least $20-million into the

20-person Coursera storefront must be impatient for these revenue streams to get settled. So far they’re considering the following:

a) Charging for certification and testing. b) Vending of tutorial services, translations, facilitation of

small-group discussion and peer learning, etc. c) Direct tuition for courses or clusters of courses in

relation to certification, standard distance-ed practice, just with the new midscale Coursera brand.

Harvard and MIT, for instance are trying to have their brand cake and dilute it too by branding their Edx courses as the product of “Harvardx” and “MITx.”

d) Miscellaneous revenue sources, like advertising and employment-service revenue from job seekers and potential employers.
