Ask HN: MOOC Opportunities?
For instance, one idea I've been mulling over is a network of teachers/mentors that can provide the more personal support that MOOCs are missing. This support could either be online or with in-person "classes". I realize there are a number of Meetups associated with Coursera and Udacity but these are missing the teacher/mentor component.
I'd love to hear your thoughts on how you think the higher ed market will unfold [1] and about any opportunities you think will emerge from the changes taking place.

[1] I don't think it's quite right to treat the higher ed market as a uniform market. There are many different types of universities and colleges (private versus public, research versus teaching, top tier versus lower tier). And there is quite a bit of diversity within each university/college; e.g., CS department vs. art history.
