With the Week 1 coming to its end, I would like to express my appriciation:
First, certainly to the professors. Especially for the idea of organizing the hangout to share their impressions with us. Their collaboration and enthusiasm was really catching. I was pleseantly surprised to find out that they do read the students' blogs and fora, and are ready to give their feedback and clarification when needed, also in their blog (http://edcmoocteam.wordpress.com/?blogsub=confirming#subscribe-blog - I am among the followers, as many others). As I read in Jane's blog, "It makes a diffference to see the real live human beings behind the whole thing" (https://elearningmoocedinburgh.wordpress.com/ ). Nicely put, isn't it? She expressed exactly what I feel about seeing the professors live, speaking to us.
I would also like to thank the people who organize the tweeter chats on Saturdays. Tweeting together at the same time, gives a person the feeling of community. We can share and compare our impressions, which gives new direction to our reflections and helps to formulate vaigue, tentitive thoughts.
I also express my gratitude to students who share their ideas and work: videos they've created, plans for the final project, resources they have found useful and want to recomment to others. Without it, learning together wouldn't be possible!
My last but not least thanks go to amiable students who answer questions - even those questions which may seem primitive at times. Without it, technology could trash over people. Nevertheless, due to your cordiality and readiness to lend a helpful hand, the course looks possible to manage. And a human being remains stronger than machines.
So, thank you all very much! Let's enjoy our Week 2 together.

Seeing the people behind the course helped me too. This is my first MOOC and I had little idea what to expect. I am glad they are not 'virtual people'!
