history is weak - think of submitting alternative facts
a better explanation of what it is (than Wikipedia?) Still lists Coursera first - the collaboration that is the farthest from "open" (my interpretation)
an interesting article that includes numbers and growing selection of platforms / consortiums (note I no longer refer to collaborations)
a more thoughtful consideration of MOOCs - acknowledges the hype and the potential value that is there.
Interesting note at the end - using edX as a supplement allows "flipped" classroom approach and is translating into more successful students - seems very unfair to compare it to the Udacity experience
