MOOCs - What are your thoughts?

Earlier in the week, I read the following article in the Boston Globe, explaining how MOOCs are disrupting higher education:

Then today there's an article in The Chronicle of Higher Education indicating that no such disruption is occurring:

Obviously there will always be opposing views/opinions, but I thought it was interesting to see both articles within days of one another. What are your thoughts on MOOCs?
