1:25? what is a typical SSR?

During  yesterday’s ocTEL webinar Diana Laurillard suggested that one of the major challenges facing MOOCs is breaking through the 1:25 SSR ceiling. In other words how to achieve a satisfactory level of learning support without having to have att least 1 learning supporter per 25 students. A conversation in the sidebar of the Webinar suggested that 1:25 may not be typical.  Im interested in discovering what the range of SSRs is acoss sthe organisations participants in this MOOC are familiar with. Can you post replies to this blog post please if you are interested in helping with this survey?
