These courses are expensive to provide because of the infrastructure needed to teach this hands on experience.

All these schools exist. What infrastructure costs are there to justify the tuition?

Excellent points. MOOC’s are a “fantastic resource” for students who wish to learn subjects at lower prices and lower biases. I agree that the dropout rates are high, 50% or more.

My experience is that bright students use MOOC’s to brush up on classes they need, such as intro chemistry, intro wine tasting and intro finance.
