I'm currently doing a postgraduate diploma in Classical Greek by distance education.
In my first year, which I recently completed and passed, I read a text book, did weekly assignments and an exam each semester.
So unlike the 7.00X MOOC, I had a text book but no videos. And the weekly assignments and exams were written and marked by a human rather than done on a computer and marked automatically.
It would seem odd to say doing an actual postgraduate diploma at a University is being "self-taught" but it's also hard to see how my Greek postgraduate course is that much different from a MOOC. Or working through an OCW course. Or even just reading a textbook.
