                      I've only received the following on 9/22/12
                      <div><br>
                      </div>
                      <div>Welcome edu-preneurs!<br>
                        <div>I am very excited to connect with you and
                          work together to design new, effective
                          learning environments!<br>
                          <b>The course officially starts on October 15
                            and will run for 10 weeks.</b> During the
                          course period, you will watch a series of
                          short lecture videos, work on individual and
                          team assignments, evaluate your peers’
                          individual and team assignments, and
                          ultimately design and pitch a new learning
                          environment as your final team project.
                          Examples include learning management systems
                          that do more or are better than existing
                          tools, mobile learning models or e learning
                          pedagogies, a technology that supports
                          learning and assessment, new school system
                          models, or a blended learning program. The
                          strongest designs will trigger and facilitate
                          active, constructive, real-world problem
                          solving and collaborative learning, and will
                          leverage the 21st century communication media.<br>
                          During the first two weeks, you will focus on
                          individual assignments and <b>learning about
                            and connecting with your classmates</b>.
                          There are already 6,000 students enrolled, and
                          I expect more over the next weeks leading up
                          to the course, so make your presence known in
                          the discussion forum! It is very important to
                          share about your background, skills,
                          interests, philosophies, and experiences
                          during the early course period because by the
                          3rd week, you will use these connections to
                          form project teams. You will form your own
                          teams—they are not assigned—so make sure
                          people in the course know your project ideas
                          and work style. You may only belong to one
                          team at a time and you are encouraged to
                          create or join a team that consists of
                          classmates who share a similar interests or
                          beliefs about education, but with a broad
                          range of experience and skills (particularly
                          any skills or experience you don’t possess
                          that would help your work).<br>
                          <b>There are no quizzes multiple choice
                            questions in this course</b>. Learning here
                          is not memorizing— it is creating, designing,
                          negotiating, presenting, evaluating, and
                          building the working relationships and being
                          the active contributor that it takes to do all
                          of this on a team. Instead of exams, you will
                          be evaluated by your classmates on the level
                          of quality and originality of your work, as
                          well as on your level of active participation
                          and contribution in the class. Your course
                          “rank” is on a 0-5 scale. Completing only your
                          individual assignment will not earn you enough
                          points to complete this course. You need to
                          earn a ranking of at least 3 out of 5 to have
                          successfully completed this course. Your
                          active engagement throughout the course will
                          be crucial. I estimate that you will need to
                          spend about 4 hours each week, though actual
                          time needed may vary depending on individual
                          experiences and team effectiveness.<br>
                          <b>Those highly ranked teams presenting
                            excellent solutions will be featured on a
                            Stanford website</b> so the world beyond
                          this course may learn about your work and
                          perhaps help your team make its design a
                          reality.<br>
                          I am glad to see so many people from all over
                          the world interested in this course, and in
                          our shared vision of helping every student
                          reach his or her full potential regardless of
                          age, color, or nationality. We are here to
                          cause a paradigm shift in education settings
                          around the world.<br>
                          Once again, welcome my fellow innovators!
                          Let’s design a new learning environment. If we
                          imagine it together, we can make it happen.<br>
                          Thanks for your passion.<br>
                          Sincerely,<br>
                          Paul Kim <br>
