I didn't read his opinion as challenging the value of a true college experience, just suggesting that the cost savings of online education will make it a much more attractive option for a lot of people.

Your points made me curious, though - it'll be interesting to see if there's a shift to favor a certain type of individual who thrives in an online education system vs traditional, as well as what implications that has for workplace performance.

The savings from the cost of traditional college helps very much if a MOOC student manages to find a way to network with people via Meetups or other ways - and with the money saved one no longer has to be stingy over paying membership fees for some organizations
