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>
Chief Technology Officer and Assistant Dean <br>
Graduate School of Education <br>
Stanford University<br>

P.S. If you know of someone who might be a good
teammate for your project idea, don’t be shy to
have her or him join!<br>

<div><br>
</div>
<div>Has anyone received any
communication for the online class
offered by the Stanford Venture lab?
It is supposed to start on October 15
and I haven't heard anything yet. I
know several of you signed up too, so
I thought I would check to see if you
have had any communications from them.
Yama... you took it before, did they
send out anything before the actual
start date when you took it?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>In contrast, the MOOC "Gentle
Introduction Python" class has sent
emails almost daily for the past week
or so with instructions for signing up
on the multiple sites they will using.
It also starts on the 15th.</div>
<div><br>

<div>You can still sign up for these
classes at:</div>
