From DSC:
Could MOOCs morph into a freemium model?
That is, a person might take a MOOC to see if they are interested in that particular topic. If they are, they might finish the MOOC. If they are really interested in that topic, perhaps the MOOC becomes the on ramp into a stream of content whereby the student pays a small amount for a subscription (could be monthly, yearly, up to a lifetime, other) to a constantly curated stream of content on that topic.
Just thinking out loud.
