Soaring venture-capital investment on education technology

U.S. venture-capital investment on education technology has soared up in the last few years, mainly on MOOC (massive open online course) and adaptive learning technology in a recent Economist article, "Catching on at last". It seems like MOOC is what the future education should be (Bill Gates is the strong advocate of it). Not sure if the education culture in Taiwan can acclimatize this trend.
