While some consider MOOCs a threat to LACs, they can also be seen as a provocation to spur small institutions to improve their offerings and assert their place in the higher education landscape. The paper examines how LACs might draw on the best tools, approaches, and structures emerging from the MOOC revolution in order to help students build lifelong learning habits.yeshttp://jolt.merlot.org/vol9no2/scholz_0613.pdfhttp://jolt.merlot.org/vol9no2/scholz_0613.pdfscholz_0613.pdf
