By While The New Yorker runs a lengthy piece on the (mostly) awesomeness of MOOCs from a classically technologically fetishist standpoint (although it at least does present the objections to them), the students of one adjunct professor are crowdfunding his surgery for a broken leg because as an adjunct and provider for his family, he doesn’t qualify for health insurance.
A very telling pair of stories.
