Summary: MOOCs have (1) really really low completion rates and (2) a user base that is already highly literate and educated. So MOOCs don't target the majority of students who actually need a person to direct their learning. (Author then mentions his tutoring directory company called Tutorspree).

Then the author cuts MOOCs some slack and says they are hiring TAs and encouraging meetups.
