I should have known better than to read a vendor's blog, but then again sometimes they surprise me. Anyway, the blog post seemed like link-bait because the downsides of MOOCs do not really seem that thought out. They are more reactionary than a deep pondering if the medium.

I don't know if EdX considers me a "completer" but I got what I needed from the course ;-) That said, the course I started back in the spring was The Ancient Greek Hero, offered through EdX (HarvardX in specific).
