IF MOOCS ARE HERE, THEN WHY
RESIDENCE-BASED EDUCATION?
•
Intense intellectual atmosphere – Learn from interactions, debates, competitions, collaborations,
explorations, not just from knowledge acquisition
• Seeing problems in context
– Students are motivated by issues, as well as disciplines; benefit fromexploring concepts within practical contexts
• Meta-curricular skill development
– Communication, collaboration, mediation, introspection – needcurricular and especially meta-curricular interactions
• Intellectual inspiration
– Personal contact with the world’s best
• A strong education is about acquisition of perspectives, of analytic problem solving skills, not just acquisition of knowledge

Contribute in the chat space.
• Can MOOCs (or SPOCs) enhance the connection
between:
– faculty and students
– the resident experience and the global community?
•
Can MOOCs (or SPOCs) facilitate educationalchange? Can they improve learning rather than
just automating it?
