I took the course when it was first offered and I have to
say that it was one of the worst MOOCs I have completed.
First the platform wasn't ready so we had to follow the professors blog.
Also the professor had the idea that we should learn most from group work,
so the video lecture's was very sketchy.
The problem with group work and MOOCs is that many who sign up don't complete the course. So, in my team with around 20 person only 2 was following it at the end.
Also the professor seams to follow the what I call the lottery approach to entrepreneurship.
1) Get lucky and get a good idea.
2) Get lucky and find someone to fund you idea.
Instead of teaching students about passive income and how to grow it.

NOTE: I only watched all videos, but did not do any assignments as I was taking other courses, so my review is purely based on the quality of videos.

The instructor covered broad topic which gave me insight about what to know for starting startup companies. I liked that he brought lots of guest speakers to give us real experience. However he talked about some statistics around what kind of characteristics contributes to better success rate, but I didn't find these topics particulary useful.

It was really great experience. I teamed up with some Japanese, Danish and Pakistani. And then, we worked on projects for assignments. We had a discussion regularly on Skype and Groopt. Unfortunately our project turned out to be unsuccessful. But it was really exciting to get to know people from different background/country and work together.

The best thing is that you can watch around other team's projects and add a commet on them. There are many energetic students/teams that are working on an interesting project all over the world.

The bad part was slow server response. It sometimes didn't return response at all. It might be a problem that would be improved in the future. UI are poorly twitter bootstrapped and not well-designed. There is room for further improvement in Venture Lab comparing to class2go.

Although I have considerable experience in taking new technologies to market it was rewarding to take a 'big data' idea through Chuck's fast paced scientific approach to entrepreneurism. Online teams and peer reviews worked well as they enhanced learning and overall engagement in the course. I think other MOOCs could gain by introducing more team activities. First rate course.
