Who’s Benefiting from MOOCs, and Why - Chen Zhenghao, et.al.; Harvard Business Review

Our latest research demonstrates that among learners who complete courses, MOOCs do have a real impact: 72% of survey respondents reported career benefits and 61% reported educational benefits. Furthermore, our findings suggest that people from developing countries more frequently report benefits from taking MOOCs and, also in developing countries, people with lower socioeconomic status and with less education are more likely to report benefits. It appears that MOOCs are tangibly helping people who take the time and effort to complete courses. https://hbr.org/2015/09/whos-benefiting-from-moocs-and-why
