I think it depends on your objective. Do you want to learn something on your own time, in the order you choose, with the media types you want? That is more of what we're going for with https://curiosity.com vs a directed approach. More choice and less structure and force. But then again, some people need and want that depending on their goal.
We're not focused on curriculum, but rather a collection of content around a subject at https://curiosity.com.
Wiki, text, video, audio...people learn different ways in different order unless they're made to do otherwise. We're focused on the always curious person. MOOCs serve a different purpose so hard to see them going more unstructured.
