Engagement through MOOCs may accelerate scientific consensus.
Community feedback via confidence votes can guide future research.
Abstract
To teach the topic of Dark Matter in Galaxies to undergraduate and PhD students is not easy, one reason being that the scientific community has not converged yet to a generally shared knowledge. We argue that the teaching of this topic and its subsequent scientific progress may benefit by Massive Online and Open Courses.
