Participants voluntarily jump into an ocean of co mplexity and fractal nature , yet are able to swim through and learn. The paper outlines Connectivism as the framework for such learning, and describes the struct ure of PLENK2010 course. Then, four lessons learned during the involvement of the author as a learner in the course are detailed, among them the different channels for learning in such an environment and the (no) need for direct assessment. As the course has still few weeks to go, the lessons learned so far will surely go under further consideration. However, those who cons ider participating in massive online open courses either as learners or as facilitators might benefit from this primary account.
