Give it time - they haven't really had much time yet. Dr. Thrun ran his first MOOC in 2011 (on Artificial Intelligence) in association with Stanford, which is certainly a top-drawer school. Now others are starting to follow. Individual MOOC courses are still pretty new - and entire MOOC-based degrees are not even in in their infancy yet - I'd say they've just made it through conception so far, but not birth.
