0:00:00.620,0:00:04.086
This course is also a new experiment, or[br]in fact several experiments.

0:00:04.086,0:00:05.586
One of them is that I want to see

0:00:05.586,0:00:08.406
if it's possible for me, essentially alone[br]and with my

0:00:08.406,0:00:11.166
bare hands, my bad handwriting, and a few[br]bricks, to

0:00:11.166,0:00:13.930
produce a movie that will add value to[br]this students.

0:00:15.550,0:00:20.120
Again, I'm trying out something new, and I[br]might very well fail, but that's okay.

0:00:20.120,0:00:21.700
I like to take a bit of risks, and at

0:00:21.700,0:00:24.140
least I'll have tried it, and can share[br]back my experience.

0:00:25.990,0:00:27.620
This course only spans three weeks.

0:00:27.620,0:00:30.400
The structure will be quite simple.

0:00:30.400,0:00:33.389
In the first week, I'll take a mostly[br]positive tone about

0:00:33.389,0:00:37.300
MOOCs, describe the promise that many[br]people see in them, including me.

0:00:38.300,0:00:40.115
In the second week, I'll take a closer

0:00:40.115,0:00:42.860
look at the technology and survey the[br]copyright aspects.

0:00:44.300,0:00:46.718
In the third week, I'll discuss the[br]business

0:00:46.718,0:00:49.037
aspects and maybe a bit of science[br]fiction.

0:00:49.037,0:00:53.439
In fact I'll prepare some material for the[br]third week, but I'll be ready to add much

0:00:53.439,0:00:55.671
more to it than that, mostly in response[br]to

0:00:55.671,0:00:58.780
questions that will intermittently pop up[br]in the forums.

0:01:00.060,0:01:03.070
It's quite a tight schedule, so it might[br]be that at

0:01:03.070,0:01:07.200
the last minute, I settle for more text[br]then I originally intended.

0:01:07.200,0:01:09.740
In any case, this is just the first run of[br]the course.

0:01:09.740,0:01:12.560
As soon as possible, I hope to rerun it,[br]this time with a

0:01:12.560,0:01:16.690
bit more material, that I can reintegrate,[br]to offer a slightly longer course.
