Abstract
In 2012 many universities started to publish Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) on Coursera and edX. According to many experts this would revolutionize education. Seven years later the hype of MOOCs is over and many are disappointed. According to Amara's Law we tend to overestimated the impact of a new technology in the short run, but we underestimate it in the long run. In this paper I will show some of the long-run impact on Delft University of Technology.
