13. My Goals For the Course

14. Be an Introductory Course
• We need low-stakes "pre-requisite" courses in Coursera
• How to behave
• How to use the software
• How to write
• Figure out technical issues
• How to learn from others and help others learn....

15. Be an Open Learning Community
• Open Source works well when there is a "Benevolent Dictator"
• There needs to be real and enforced rules - but as few as possible
• Those in power must not hide behind their power and must share
their power with those who show the right behavior
• Must make valued behaviors "infectious" / "amplified"

16. Teach the Teachers
• I don't beleive that all students in the world should consider me their
teacher in this space
• I wrote a "book"- I want others to adopt it and re-mix it
• Related to making a "learning community"

17. New York NY, Los Angeles, Ann

18. Cheating Detection Experiment
• Thirty question exam
• Ten questions gave full credit for some wrong answers
• Total number of possible 30/30 answer keys = ~60,000
• Tracked the pattern of answer keys over the two-week exam period
