However, the video argues that MOOCs have achieved substantial success. They've been incorporated into blended learning environments, with impressive participation statistics from institutions like a technological institute, where nearly all undergraduate students engage with MOOC content. At the institute, blended learning strategies have improved student performance. The video further explains that MOOCs are not
