MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses) have exploded onto the online education scene in the last few years. Pundits have expressed their opinions from one extreme -- physical college campuses will disappear within 10 years -- to the other -- MOOCs are a bubble which will burst in a few years. Increasing use of technology mediated modes of instruction challenges traditional notions of instructor-learner interaction. This paper will provide an explanation of MOOCs and explore possible realistic scenarios for MOOCS's and the online environment in higher education. The higher education cost and tuition bubble is an important part of online and MOOCs. MOOCs have provided an impetus for discussion of how to award credit, how to prevent cheating, and how to grade the large number of students efficiently while assessing the online interaction among students and instructors.
