Hi Clinton,

Author of edX here. At the time I left edX, the vast majority of courses used long videos and multiple choice questions.

Yes. Rather than assume, I still pose the question: what is half-hearted about that? What can be changed for the better?
* High-quality courses (or at least as good as the original few!)

* Open-licensed courses (as originally promised and intended)

* Real checks-and-balances and not-for-profit structures

* Investment in research in improving teaching-and-learning

* Commitment to integrity in results presented to the public, in respect for student privacy, and in general, a strong set of core values and to keeping what's working in education
