Using Mooc's to Learn and Link Content

I have joined a MOOC for two key reasons.

Curiosity
First, I am curious to experience firsthand how a MOOC course is run and what styles of learning and teaching are employed in a MOOC. I love education, collaboration and learning new skills, insights and ideas.  I am eager to see what this is all about.

Collaboration
I am especially interested in finding effective ways for people to collaborate online.  In addition, I want to learn about how the MOOC organizes or manages the content generated through the collaborative network of the course.
