Coursera and edX are the most frequently referenced MOOC platforms when discussing completion rate benchmarks.

Platform Gap

ChatGPT provides more statistical detail while Google AIO focuses on broader context and Perplexity offers the most specific platform comparisons.

Link Opportunity

Educational institutions and MOOC providers could benefit from linking to completion rate improvement strategies and engagement best practices.

Key Takeaways for This Prompt

MOOC completion rates consistently benchmark at 5-15% across major platforms like Coursera and edX.

Learner intent significantly impacts completion, with certificate-seeking students achieving 22% completion versus 6% for casual browsers.

Course design factors like duration, certification options, and interactive elements directly influence completion rates.

SUMMARY

MOOC completion rates fall between 5-15%, but this metric doesn't reflect true course value as many students use MOOCs for specific learning goals rather than full completion. Success factors include student intent (certificate seekers complete more), course design elements, learner characteristics like self-direction, social factors, and external constraints. Better metrics focus on engagement and tailored learning experiences.
