You can’t be much more wishy-washy than “And fourth, we are in what may or may not be a pivotal moment in the history of online learning in higher education with the current fascination with Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs), which is prompting many universities to consider the place of online learning in their institutional strategies.”
My suggestion would be that the authors of this report take a MOOC or two which would go a long way in helping the committee get off the fence, although I personally like the adage that “no fence is too narrow to sit on”.
Without doubt we need to not only adapt our own course delivery but we need to facilitate a person who may take a number of their prerequisites as MOOCs.
