This document summarizes a study analyzing discourse about MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses) in higher education magazines. It introduces the researchers and their affiliations. It describes how the researchers curated academic and journalistic literature on MOOCs, analyzed the data, and wanted to understand stakeholders' concerns about MOOCs and their implications. The study found speculation about MOOCs is decreasing while implementation and adaptation is increasing, with a focus on new teaching approaches and relationships. The researchers plan to continue analyzing discourse evolution over time and differences between academic cultures.
