Abstract
Development of writing by Sumerians in 3200BC, universities starting in 1088, correspondence courses, radio, and TV, all help education (German, 2014, and NA, ND. Wiki MOOC). Decades around 2014 however, have unbelievable potential with education, to improve wealth inequality, alleviate poverty, expand the impact of professors, train workers, and simultaneously educate people about cultural differences. 83% of 34,779 surveyed massive open online course (MOOC) students already have a degree, 80% come from the wealthiest and most well-educated 6% of the population, and almost 70% are already employed (Emanuel, 2013). In contrast, 94% of students surveyed in Korea and China are unaware of MOOCs, yet those aware, love them. Improvements are possible through online, open educational resources (OER), whether in the modified simple form of properly prepared videoed classes, or fully interactive, customizable, gradable, certifiable MOOCs.
