1
00:00:00,620 --> 00:00:04,086
This course is also a new experiment, or
in fact several experiments.

2
00:00:04,086 --> 00:00:05,586
One of them is that I want to see

3
00:00:05,586 --> 00:00:08,406
if it's possible for me, essentially alone
and with my

4
00:00:08,406 --> 00:00:11,166
bare hands, my bad handwriting, and a few
bricks, to

5
00:00:11,166 --> 00:00:13,930
produce a movie that will add value to
this students.

6
00:00:15,550 --> 00:00:20,120
Again, I'm trying out something new, and I
might very well fail, but that's okay.

7
00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:21,700
I like to take a bit of risks, and at

8
00:00:21,700 --> 00:00:24,140
least I'll have tried it, and can share
back my experience.

9
00:00:25,990 --> 00:00:27,620
This course only spans three weeks.

10
00:00:27,620 --> 00:00:30,400
The structure will be quite simple.

11
00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:33,389
In the first week, I'll take a mostly
positive tone about

12
00:00:33,389 --> 00:00:37,300
MOOCs, describe the promise that many
people see in them, including me.

13
00:00:38,300 --> 00:00:40,115
In the second week, I'll take a closer

14
00:00:40,115 --> 00:00:42,860
look at the technology and survey the
copyright aspects.

15
00:00:44,300 --> 00:00:46,718
In the third week, I'll discuss the
business

16
00:00:46,718 --> 00:00:49,037
aspects and maybe a bit of science
fiction.

17
00:00:49,037 --> 00:00:53,439
In fact I'll prepare some material for the
third week, but I'll be ready to add much

18
00:00:53,439 --> 00:00:55,671
more to it than that, mostly in response
to

19
00:00:55,671 --> 00:00:58,780
questions that will intermittently pop up
in the forums.

20
00:01:00,060 --> 00:01:03,070
It's quite a tight schedule, so it might
be that at

21
00:01:03,070 --> 00:01:07,200
the last minute, I settle for more text
then I originally intended.

22
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:09,740
In any case, this is just the first run of
the course.

23
00:01:09,740 --> 00:01:12,560
As soon as possible, I hope to rerun it,
this time with a

24
00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:16,690
bit more material, that I can reintegrate,
to offer a slightly longer course.
