Is there Teacher student interaction in the course ? How is it different from any regular MOOC ? Assignment/Projects ?

Yeah, most of the interaction takes place on forum software called Piazza. Some classes also do weekly Google Hangouts as office hours.

There are assignments, projects and exams - they've put a lot of effort into making it have the same quality and standards as the on campus programs, even going so far as to do blind grading in some courses (i.e. grade the on-campus and OMSCS courses as one).
