> We need more diverse students in computer science. But the track record of MOOCs in supporting all students’ needs should give us pause. In the last MOOC I signed up for one of the first things I read once inside was that it was 80% male and I should go encourage some females to join. Being a male I took this as a signal that I wasn't particularly wanted or valued in that course and I thought allow me to help your gender ratio by not participating. It's strange they're simultaneously alienating their core users in order to "increase diversity" and complaining that their numbers aren't staying high enough.
