That's not as big a concern as one might think. I've heard professors say that MOOCs are more intimate than an audience of >50 people, since by that point they become an indistinguishable mass, whereas in a MOOC, a student listens to the professor and is unburdened by presence of others until he elects to be.
Secondly, there will be quite a few people whose names you'll learn, Professor. The active ones on the forums, the ones that will submit good comics of their own. Intimacy doesn't always require diminutive scale.
