The potential they have to massively disrupt the way higher education has been done for hundreds of years..?
You might rightly ask for evidence to back that sentiment up; I guess its hard to validate that something has disruptive potential, ahead of time. But isn't hundreds of thousands of students signing up, evidence of something?
Aside from disruption, these tools augment/enhance/enrich their users life in a meaningful way.
Not to mention enlarging the pool of students these academic institutions draw upon and finding additional channels to generate revenue. A rising tide effect perhaps.
