[decentralised]

In my formal education days, I was perma-frustrated that none of my teachers had achieved anything impressive with their work (apart from being published), and I often felt like I was being handed out second-hand knowledge to regurgitate during the exams... and I had to get a job to pay for that level of education!

To me what's really good about MOOCs is that I can have access to some of the best content and teachers from MIT, etc all from the comfort of my living room.
