The emergence of microarrays helped in measuring biology in quantitative ways, particularly in determining the expression level of every gene in the genome from a single experiment, which was later used to improve the quality of instruction at Stanford by moving to the flipped classroom model.

Summary
The idea of MOOCs stemmed from a pursuit for new and innovative ways to teach and present material that could improve the quality and scale of education. This effort started in Stanford University in the late 2000s, with various individuals getting excited about the potential of online technologies for improving teaching and learning on a global scale.
