One thing that's not mentioned here that seems apparent to me is that universities are social environments in a way that MOOCS are not. In my opinion humans generally adapt to the social environment they find themselves in so if you are a full time student at a MOOC you are in a very different social environment (home) that may be much less conducive to learning.
