Cris,
I also took my first MOOC last spring. It was called The Secret of Life sponsored by Edx. The course was taught by Dr. Eric Lander from MIT. There was also some infor collaboration with NSTA through web seminars. I think about 35,000 people were taking the course, or at least that many started out. However, it was very demanding of time—around 12 hours per week. The student had the option of receiving a certificate of completion or an audit. Although the time commitment was steep, it was a good course and I enjoyed taking it online. The discussions were very helpful, although I did not participate that much.
Here is the Edx website: https://www.edx.org/
