Online Education Open Forum

Many good ideas and clarifications emerge in this conversation, moderated by Yale Professor of Music, Craig Wright, very much engaging an aspect of the Conference Method (http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Conference_Method_of_Teaching_and_Learning):

- key Yale faculty discuss Yale OYC and OER

- critiques of current open educational platforms such as Coursera

- student and instructor analyses about what online teaching and learning approaches work, and how it works

- - Econ and Computer Science

- - Math

- on Yale University's decision making itself, and paying for Yale OYC and other Yale OER

- on open-ended and non-binding legal relationships for Yale

- on cost of Coursera (at the 132 minute mark), and ...

- - Coursera will verify that the student at that computer is indeed that person
- - Coursera will send out a statement that the student completed the work requested by the instructor

- on online teaching resources for medicine

- good Yale brainstorming about online learning, but not necessarily around questions of enjoyment (vis-a-vis 'flow' experiences) or flourishing in learning.

- online degrees (at 142 minutes)

- why Yale is sharing these resources (at 145 minutes)
