AGENCY? #WUaSagency "to act independently - make their own free choices. By contrast, structure are those factors of influence (such as social class, religion, gender, ethnicity, ability, customs, etc) that determine or limit an agent & their decisions"

True, and most of their courses offer a certificate without a major degree like a free to students' Bachelor, PhD Law MD or IB high school - planned in each of 200 countries and in their official or main languages ...

 A Message from Anant Agarwal, edX Founder and CEO

@⁨Scott GK MacLeod⁩ my major problem is centralised network.

CEO and particular authority gives the instructions and commands like Anant for edX.

We need to create a peer-to-peer network for Education

A decentralised system, on the other hand, is one in which complex behaviour emerges through the work of lower level components operating on local information, *not the instructions of any commanding influence* . This form of control is known as *distributed control* , or control in which each component of the system is *equally responsible* for contributing to the global, complex behaviour by acting on local information in the appropriate manner. The lower level components are implicitly aware of these appropriate responses through mechanisms that are based on the component's interaction with the environment, including other components in that environment.

 Hoping they at edX are also focusing on student retention questions as they focus on quality ... Anant?

@⁨Scott GK MacLeod⁩ "Self Sovereign Internet"  What a words!!

 @⁨Scott GK MacLeod⁩  Share some words about Phil Windley and your experiences with him

I think he has a PhD in computer science from UC Davis and lives in Utah presently where he's been working on self sovereign internet idea and other CS theory for decades ... Only know of him from Twitter, - and also possibly regarding a single cryptocurrency since Phil Windley knows Drummond Reed, whom I met at Stanford, also working in the cryptocurrency space and related CS IDEAS in Redmond Washington (and who went to Harvard and may know Bill Gates too)

 Distributed internet are other amazing words. And Manuel Castells has explored societal & economic implications of this more remarkably than anyone http://globetrotter.berkeley.edu/people/Castells/castells-con0.html I teach ...
