What would you say is a sustainable revenue model for a MOOC?
We have been investigating many revenue models. So, one is that our courses are free but we ask students to pay a nominal fee when they want the certificate once they pass. We can also offer some services even though the course can be free – the freemium model. Second, we are working with corporations and NGOs to whom we offer courses but we charge them a fee.
How should the Indian education system adapt for the future?
In terms of national infrastructure, we need to move from bricks and mortar to bits and bytes. We need to create networking capabilities in towns and villages. I also think every university needs to embrace online technologies.
