<p>Very interesting article by Wesleyan president Michael Roth about his experience at the dawn of the MOOC age:</p>
<p>–</p>
<p>A student in South India says that decades after having completed formal schooling, “learning makes me feel alive.” And a student who doesn’t say where she’s from simply writes: “Baudelaire has captured me. I love the living and the feeling and the participating in life’s beauty and ugliness. I have taken to carrying Paris Spleen around town with me as I walk and bike.”</p>

<p>Large problems and rough edges not withstanding, one gets the feeling reading what Roth has written that MOOCs are doing as much for professors (and universities) as they are for students.</p>
<p>Exciting!</p>
