“Giving college credit for a massive open online course will devalue degrees, but the moment I write that, a voice in my mind asks, ‘Why do you believe that?'”
“I associate the voice in my head so closely with the flesh-and-blood individual that I cannot imagine a MOOC having a similar lifelong effect, but I give the MOOCs a pass on this one because they haven’t been around long enough for anyone to determine their long-term influence.”
Skepticism about our skepticism.
