The article makes it sound like he gave up real quick. That he wrote class materials at a level above where the actual students were and instead of adjusting to their level for the next semester, he just threw up his hands in frustration.

Is there more to the story?

Yes. Read the original article (http://www.fastcompany.com/3021473/udacity-sebastian-thrun-u...) this is based on. It's much more informative.

Thanks, I saw the link to it and didn't realize it was current, I thought it was just background on Udacity before this pivot. I probably should have submitted that link instead.

Sure, the article doesn't mention it but there has been other revelations of MOOCs as not being a silver bullet or what they were hyped to be, not just Udacity.
