de Langen, F., & van den Bosch, H. (2013). Massive Open Online Courses: disruptive innovations or disturbing inventions?. Open Learning, 28(3), 216-226. doi:10.1080/02680513.2013.870882
Quote: "So in our view, MOOC's will not be the disruptive innovations that have been predicted by some and hoped by others, but they will (among the greater ODL family) be facilitators of other developemnts that could change the educational sector" (de Langen and van den Bosch, 2013). 
Reflection: When MOOC's first debuted, many predicted that this new approach to higher education would be a disruptive innovation on par with the introduction of the personal computer. Now, years later, the evidence indicates that the early exuberance was irrational and premature.
