This document discusses MOOCs and their potential impact on higher education. It begins by defining MOOCs as massive open online courses with large enrollments that provide course materials for free. While MOOCs have generated hype around disrupting traditional universities, the document notes they are still in the early hype phase according to Gartner's Hype Cycle and it is unclear if they will truly displace established institutions. The remainder discusses one university's experience with MOOCs, online education programs, and strategies to blend open online learning with campus education.

Editor's Notes
- #16: OpenCourseWare: Course Materials available for use and re-use, for free, worldwide (700 visitors a day). No certificates, but pilot with Study Badges (informal certificates of Study Skills) Goal: Enlarge Access to Educational Materials, empower institution’s reputation example: publishing OCW led to Cooperation with ITB Bandung and Mozambique institutions Online Distance Education: Pilot starts september 2013, Students need to enroll but are not physically in Delft (everything happens online). Small numbers of enrolled studentsd (20?) Goal: provide a Masters degree via Online Education to those who want but are unable to come to Delft, enlarge audience MOOCs: Online, Massive Goal: strenghten reputation, enlarge access to Higher Education
