It’s A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad MOOC

IT'S A MAD, MAD, MAD, MAD MOOC

I like the idea of tackling Alan Levine’s Horror of the MOOCs with a film that has a zombie kind of pursuit for money, but in the form of a comedy. There is real hysteria about MOOCs, all you have to do is look at the way the University of Virginia spastically responded to the pressure cooker of open online education.

The Canadiens had no idea what could be unleashed, in a time of tightened budgets and unbridled belief that technology will solve everything (as long as it makes money).

MAD, MAD, MAD, MAD!

    Aha! Tackling the assignment of the BEAST too, I see! Excellent, as always. So fitting, sadly.
