Wonderful concept. From my experience in distance learning (online courses), lack of human engagement is the #1 problem that leads to dropping a course -- no real human connection. Which is why many universities are investing in using group videoconferencing to allow for genuine group activities in class, every when people are in different towns/states. Anything to help MOOC's in a similar way should be immensely valuable!
