True, and this one reason among many why MOOC Retention rates are at 3%.
This is one of the reasons that online education will fall behind real world college classes.
Another is whether people learn the same amount.
- ashtonkem 7y agoThe lack of structure and pressure is also a thing. In a traditional class you must show up or miss out. MOOCs are available at all times forever, which means you can watch them “someday”, which is usually the same as “never”.
- rgblambda 7y agoHonestly I'd rather have the MOOCs there so I can access them as though they were a library. You get more context than on Stackoverflow but you don't have to commit to several classes or find out early on that you picked the wrong course.
