One point of MOOCs is that they are not text books. That does not mean text books are bad or that MOOCs are all you'll ever want.

Some MOOCs create video content totally "from scratch", but usually they build on the lecturers' ability to hold a lecture in the topic, often honed through years of repeated lecturing on the same topic.

You can be text based learning without being a text book.

I'd like to see less emphasis on Video learning, because it definitely has it's limits. Even if a teacher is good at it, through years of experience.

Not saying I don't like them per-se, but they don't seem to stick for me.
