Instead of focusing on the well-publicized MOOC platforms (Coursera, EdX, etc), "this study (30 page PDF) used 21 metrics to explore 35 MOOC platforms from across the world." It doesn't offer a lot of depth and insight, but it does aggregate a number of statistics related to each, including things like visitor engagement, technical characteristics, partnerships and courses. It's significant that many of the fields remain as question marks. Interestingly, "almost no platforms had adequate speed. Even so, most platforms provided mobile-friendly pages. Some platforms presented few accessibility and contrast errors while others had many accessibility issues."
