They're at 5% because people like me sign up for every course that sounds vaguely interesting, well before they start, and then when it comes time to actually do the work, I almost always drop it because I'm preoccupied. I treat it like signing up for an alert to let me know when it's going to start, at which point I make the actual decision. There's also a more structural problem with synchronous learning, in that if a real world problem like my job conflicts with a self-imposed homework deadline, the deadline isn't going to win. But that seems solveable by offering async options for those it fits better.
