I think MOOCs are as good as a certain kind of live lectures; the kind where the professor copies the text on the whiteboard and students copy it into their notebooks, then repeat it in quizzes and exams.
But MOOCs can't compete with the best live lectures, where students have an opportunity for meaningful discussion, challenging and original projects, and building relationships.
