Before starting a MOOC it is very important to identify the type of learners. Their background knowledge, are they first time learners or people who want to upgrade their knowledge, their age etc. should be taken into consideration. Based on this, learning strategies should be planned as MOOCs are learner centric. It is very important to orchestrate the various elements in a MOOC to cater to the diversity of the learners. In this course the orchestration decisions have been very beautifully managed and the instant feedback was much appreciated. The only disadvantage I feel in a creating this type of MOOC is that the whole team should be involved and for me as a learner, In spite of the some flexibility, I always have to rush to complete the assignments in time, due to my busy schedule. I would like to thank the whole MOOC team for a wonderful experience, for me it was a first experience of MOOC and it has shown me a new vista of learning, It has added a new dimension to my knowledge of a teaching learning experience.

The orchestration is very important to get the best final output of a session
It keeps everyone with the flow ,maintains active participation as well as solve the queries at that point.
Lxl thus is important.
Talking about assignment, which helps to have feedback to learner and instructors .
Time limit ,I think is a little bit problem with learner like me.
Though unless it's there learner will not attempt it.but I think can be extended more.
Active part icipation in discussion forum itself resolve many queries.
