Thanks Tony,
This is good graphical representation on drop out on MOOCs. I am very interesting in the exponential decay of the frequency distribution , which suggested that disticntions and earning certificates for MOOCs seem to be rare events to accomplish among learners who undertake MOOCs.
Kind regards,
