>>[...] 80 percent of MOOC students come from the wealthiest and most well educated 6 percent of the population,” the authors of the paper write.<p>What about the 20% that didn't have undergraduate degrees? No doubt there's a lot of skew here, but the focus should be on this 20% that (now) have the opportunity to take a variety of free online courses. Perhaps this 20% wouldn't have had a chance otherwise.<p>Otherwise, the article is right that MOOCs could expand their reach further, but I think this is a great start and optimistic news. If people thought that early-adopter MOOC audiences would be primarily comprised of non-degree holders then now would be a great time to re-examine assumptions.
