In a recent blog, I noted a call for papers for a JOLT issue on MOOCS. It also included a controversial stand by Minnesota higher education banning MOOCS. An email this morning provided an update that I missed from October 20 The Chronicle article. The backlash centered around right to freedom of speech and a 20-year old law that required universities to register with the state and pay a $1000 fee (to provide free courses?).
The BIG controversy prompted officials in higher education to change their minds about the ban on MOOCS.
