The authors wrote about the challenges of teaching a MOOC. Two approaches exist: the perception of a "rock star" lecturer with the lack of interaction and communication with students, or the well-prepared courses with self-led preparation of topics. Using blog(s) and Twitter, the authors collected information about teacher experiences and perceptions. They found that the current conversations about MOOCs do not address the complex feelings and ideas of the instructors. They are not used to the new style of teaching and learning. The paper spent more time exploring the idea of teaching than presenting solutions.
