A Similar Finding at Udacity
“…scores for a group of about 200
Stanford students who took a particular
course, along with some 23,000 who
completed it on Udacity, and found that
the top 412 were all online students, with
the best Stanford student coming in at
No. 413.”
Presumably independent of challenge
levels or academic abilities

In most online communities,
90% of users are lurkers who
never contribute
Common challenge of
MOOCs
