Ireland has the chance to be at the centre of an online education revolution if our third-level system champions a glaring opportunity to teach the world, the Independent reports.

MOOCs significantly reduce the inevitable time delay between identifying the immediate requirements of industry and meeting them with trained lecturers and approved third-level courses.
