Some main points:
"Less than 10 percent of MOOC students, on average, complete a course. That’s the conclusion of Katy Jordan of Open University"
"But with no negative academic consequences from dropping out, that information is less about the effectiveness of the courses themselves, and more about the reasons people might be enrolling, she said."

This blog post does discuss some reasons why students enroll in MOOCs, but doesn't really talk much about why they drop out.
One big reason - FRUSTRATION. When a learner gets stuck and can't get individualized meaningful feedback, it creates a failed learning experience. I think we discount how important those personal encounters are in helping learners.
