Yes, very exciting to see progress.
MOOCs are just taking off here in the UK and there's a lot of interest, a
lot of both good and bad experiences being reported. Institutions are keen
to get on the bandwagon. I think news of a Wikipedia MOOC would generate a
lot of interest from the UK.
One very influential education consultant told me recently that Wikimedia
would be the ideal, credible entity to *provide* MOOCs, being
institution-neutral and noncommerical, but as the proposal discussion
notes, we don't really have the infrastructure ourselves yet.
