MOOCs have a less-than-positive view at CMU, in part because the evidence is strongly mixed as to their effectiveness in practice. One thing I've learned after being at CMU for many years is that people across the board here really care a lot about empirical evidence.
A MOOC would also make it hard to teach interpersonal skills, as well as assemble a cohort that can learn from each other.
