You might technically be correct, but that doesn't change the fact that "the Godfather of MOOCs" called it "a lousy product":

> “We were on the front pages of newspapers and magazines, and at the same time, I was realizing, we don’t educate people as others wished, or as I wished. We have a lousy product,” Thrun tells me. “It was a painful moment.” Turns out he doesn’t even like the term MOOC.

That's just half of the MOOC (Massive Open Online Courses) equation. Also, from what I read, almost everyone hates even that.
