- A main concern is the low level of courses completions (below 10%):
http://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/01/17/measuring-the-success-of-online-education , one can consider 20% completion a success: http://technorati.com/technology/article/are-massive-open-online-courses-moocs/
- In the same line, a Coursera's MOOC had 180.000 students, but less than 26.000 are now running: http://www.hackcollege.com/blog/2013/01/22/duke-university-professors-mooc-has-180000-students.html
-On the other hand US universities are thinking to link a first free MOOC with a second official course for credit in the named "MOOC2Grade":
