Massive Open Online Courses (MOOOCs) and other trends point to an open and digital future for higher education. Early MOOCs saw enormous enrollments, such as a course on artificial intelligence that had over 160,000 students enrolled. Major MOOC platforms now offer hundreds of free online courses from top universities. This proliferation of free online college courses could reshape higher education over the next decade as open educational resources, teaching, accreditation, and research expand.
