Following in the steps of some serious pioneers Stephen Downes, George Siemens, Dave Cornier   .
Dave Cormier has done a great video on success in MOOC 




The whole thing is really challenging the way I think about learning and sharing and putting the message across or more importantly listening to the evolving conversation .
