Now that I have participated in a mooc, I am naturally qualified to dispense expert advice about them. Lol! Seriously though, one aspect of moocs that I think requires urgent attention is the sense that many participants feel of being overwhelmed. This was certainly the case for some in the EDCMOOC, and I fear I...

I suggest using different languages. Lots of people don't interact because they don't write or understand English. Let's students interact and post in their own languages, then mooc will be more authentic.

A question, rather than a suggestion. These are all helpful suggestions, buthow much of this activity should this be led by the tutors and how much by the students?

Natalie: That's a good question, Chris. I think in a MOOC the facilitator's ability to respond to people individually is limited.
