The second ‘topic’ week is now concluded, and it all feels a bit easier now.

This is not because of the ‘scenarios’ themselves, but much to do with my comfort in the network we have created. The maintenance of an active WhatsApp and G+ space is indicative of the types of individuals we have in the group

The above links strongly to what is spoken to extensively in MOOC participation research. Participants will often refer to the space being too hectic, or frantic, or messy, and therefore feel overwhelmed. This was certainly the case in the initial week, but looking back now, I think it is fair to say that as a group we have worked out what works for us, and this is resulting in the success we have seen.

Of particular relevance to my thoughts above, see Dave Comier’s video below, titled Success in a MOOC.
