This presentation discusses the long-term impact of MOOCs at TU Delft. In the short term, TU Delft saw over 2 million MOOC enrollments and growth of online courses and programs. However, the presentation argues the long term impact will be greater. This includes moving from standalone courses to entire programs and credentials online, expanding from national to global students, and shifting from only initial education to continuous learning. It also suggests education will transition from traditional lectures to blended models combining online and on-campus learning. Overall, the presentation argues that while the early impact of MOOCs seems large, their influence on education could be even more significant in the long run.
