Rather than an exclusive MOOCs model, why are you pitching for a blended model where the online learning experience and the advantages of having an instructor in the physical classroom are clubbed?

At edX, we are trying to revolutionise the world of education and improve both online and on-campus education. Our aim is to increase access to learning to people around the world who do not have access to a quality education. We partner with some of the best universities in the world, such as MIT, Harvard, Georgetown, Tsinghua from China, and many others, to offer high-quality courses that learners can take for free no matter where they are. Concurrently, our partner universities are using these courses on their own campuses to offer a blended model of learning where they combine the online content and tools with in-person education, thereby creating a better experience for on-campus students as well.
