I was interested to find there is a WhatsApp group organized by the MOOC I’m participating in (The IoT). The group is limited to 250 members – seems like a lot though! How is it possible to converse on WhatsApp with that many people? Seems overwhelming to me…

I think it’s interesting that the MOOC is taking the large online community and taking it out of the so-called ‘educational space’ to the seemingly more social and informal space of WhatsApp. I’m thinking that only the very interested few (few meaning 250 max.) will choose to join the WhatsApp group.
