INTERRUPED COMMUNICATIONS
This Graphic Arts Biennial exhibit in Tivoli Park shows lines of poetry in English, Slovenian and sign
language. The blurred image shows the confusion that arises across translations.

MOOCs For Institutional Sustainability Peer Learning and Expert Teaching in HE need different balances of institutional support, but both require recurrent funding.
MOOCs are not monolithic. They are shaped by their assigned positions within institutions. Economic positions are also political choices.

Political Production: Profit /Cost CentersWe see ourselves as Profit Centers (Production)• HEIs as Growth Driver• Direct contributions• Investment + return• More likely to be funded
Others see us as Cost Centers (Consumption)• HEIs as Service Delivery• Indirect contributions• Accountability + compliance• More likely to be cut

MOOCs as Innovation and Marketing Centers
“Marketing and innovation produce results: all the rest are costs.” (Drucker)
HEIs are innovation centers. They create ideas. They are also marketing centers because they directly connect innovation to learners.
MOOCs may better link HEI innovation and learning …but be careful…a dangerous game…it opens the game to new players

MARKETING
