Welcome to the experimental section of
this course.

This section is entirely optional,

but it's meant for me to discover with you

what the power of MOOCs really is 
and what the future might be in this area.

For these reasons, I'll try to delegate to
you as much of the power

I have as an instructor 
on the Coursera platform.

I'll try to let you decide 
how to structure the forums,

or even how the certificate, what the certificate should look like,

and what it should reflect

from your own personal journey
through the course.

So, if you feel challenged by those ideas,

and especially if you have taken 
other classes

where you saw nice ideas 
that you want to contribute,

or if you have good ideas of your own,

please join us and feel free to contribute.
