A review of five case studies that examined the use of MOOCs in blended courses identifies a host of challenges and opportunities faculty and MOOC developers should consider for the burgeoning format. According to eCampus News, the meta study found MOOCs to have “substantial promise” as learning resources for traditional classrooms and as a way to give students exposure to more diverse teaching methods. Challenges include a lack of cohesion if MOOCs are not fully integrated into blended course designs, intellectual property rights issues if MOOCs are restricted by their creators, and lower student satisfaction in online portions of courses because of less interaction with faculty.
