The cost of signup for a MooC is low and the time and effort needed to complete Mooc is rather high. That could explain the lower completion rather and something is still a lot better than nothing. Also why are we comparing against normal courses were people has dedicated time versus online where there is not dedicated time? I think it would be good to design course content for the medium. Professional adults does not have unlimited spare time, especially not if you have other duties to upkeep that require time family and friends. Thus maybe it would be wise to divide the course content in smaller chunks and reward people for completing each chunk. This would be a design for Mooc that would be very similar to game level design which already works brilliant online! Aka divide and conquer algorithm. Reward people for completing levels. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Divide-and-conquer_algorithm https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Divide-and-conquer_algorithm
