themselves before committing to a full programme• Partnership model creates opportunities for learning

from other MOOC providers• Provides a relatively safe method for trialling new

learning, teaching and assessment methodologies with large scale students

will evolve• Scale, number of players and resources will drive

innovation• Improving awareness of the possibilities of

online learning to prospective learners• Provides practical solution for lifelong learners• Background of high tuition fees for on campus &

growth in transnational education
