Because the engineers are in charge.
Coursera was founded by programmers and is dominated by programmers.
I'm not saying that's always a bad thing - Google is dominated by engineers and it is an engineering company.
But I have been surprised by how few people (zero, from what I can see) they have hired who specialize in education and learning, which I thought was the business of Coursera.
