That is a serious problem. Let's see how they handle this.

I faced a similar problem when I first started out on Coursera. Do you think cutting the course into 2/3 parts, which can be done individually improve the course format?

They are not wrong. That said they can certainly be improved. I am looking at ways to improve the MOOCS structure. We are building a open course platform where anyone can teach. This is to get an understanding of the user problems.

I disagree with you. With education content spread across various websites, there is a need for an aggregation and curation website. Yes, the content needs to be prepared by an expert, but the students can do self-learning.

I don't understand why we are comparing the completion normal rates with MOOC's completion rate. I think that they can't be compared yet. While I am doing by degree full time, MOOC is an additional learning for me. If students could complete all courses online without attending a single class offline,the conversions would be much better. You cannot say MOOCs are good or bad just on the basis of completion rates.

Here are a few samples I found.
