The MOOC movement cooperates with the tendency of mechanisation, indeed it strengthens the tendency, and by its promise of utility, efficiency, uniformity, and the expedited delivery of uniform goods, it discourages more complex thinking about the content and aims
of education.

Questions
What are the foundational assumptions underpinning our current approach?
Which might be no longer valid as we look to make our constraint beautiful?
What are the processes and routines we habitually use? Which parts of them are integral and necessary, and which could
we relax and explore alternatives to?
There are habitual places we go for solutions. What would happen if we took some of these away?
What internal and external relationships do we rely on? Why
are these no longer sufficient?
How do we currently measure success? Do these measures
restrict possibilities for the future?
