Great to replies to this thread. May be worth coming back to during our other activities in order to reflect on if/how we’ve moved on since the initial activities.

I’m determined to ‘complete’ this MOOC – as like imogenbertin I’d intended to start the EDC Mooc but other things took over.

Whilst it’s good to start thinking about BIG questions – I’d echo Imogen’s point about wanting to get a  head round the MOOC setup and evolve the questions over time.

Hi Everyone,
I’ve really enjoyed reading everyone’s postings on this thread about MOOCs old and new!
I agree with James’ comments on keeping up this thread, I’m enjoying reading everyone’s thoughts.
It’s good to hear James say ‘I intend to complete this MOOC!’ as it’s  reminded me to keep on going.
It was interesting to see Alison Christie’s posting with the stats on the EDC MOOC.  This was the  40, 000 + MOOC I started, but didn’t manage to complete, which was a shame I think.
Part of the reason was that I’d signed up for two MOOCs at the same time (yes, I didn’t have a clue!).
Doing one MOOC is challenging enough, let alone two at the same time.
Ultimately, I carried on with the Equine Nutrition MOOC (also on Coursera) and had to drop out of the EDC one, I just couldn’t find the time.
I found Imogen Bertin’s postings interesting as I found that the Equine Nutrition MOOC did have the weekly lectures to watch, hand outs and then a weekly Quiz ( a practice one and a real one).  I’m wondering now if the structured approach made it more do-able – whilst still trying to squeeze it into lunch times and Sunday morning.
Anyway, off now to start week 1 core reading or is that viewing? Wish me luck!
Rachel
