The vast majority of students who enroll in traditional university classes enter with the explicit intent of earning a credential. When students do not receive a credential, either the student, the system, or some combination of both has failed. MOOCs, however, cater to a substantially more diverse audience. Some students enroll on a whim, to see what a course is about, to figure out whether a particular topic might be worth pursuing, or out of curiosity regarding online education in general. Other students sign up for a handful of classes with the idea of shopping around to find a good fit. Yet other students enroll in a MOOC in much the same way that one might "bookmark" an interesting web page for future reference. The typical Coursera student enrolls in four courses on average; roughly 40 percent of all students have at least two courses running simultaneously. Furthermore, most Coursera classes involve a substantial time commitment, with estimated course workloads usually ranging from 5 to 15 hours of work per week. Since there is no financial cost or barrier to entry, there is little reason to believe that even a majority of the students who enroll in a MOOC intend to complete the class.
