00:00:01.850 --> 00:00:03.936
Welcome to the experimental section of
this course.

00:00:04.300 --> 00:00:06.103
This section is entirely optional,

00:00:06.103 --> 00:00:09.134
but it's meant for me to discover with you

00:00:09.134 --> 00:00:13.963
what the power of MOOCs really is 
and what the future might be in this area.

00:00:14.590 --> 00:00:17.770
For these reasons, I'll try to delegate to
you as much of the power

00:00:17.770 --> 00:00:20.636
I have as an instructor 
on the Coursera platform.

00:00:21.330 --> 00:00:24.150
I'll try to let you decide 
how to structure the forums,

00:00:24.150 --> 00:00:27.340
or even how the certificate, what the certificate should look like,

00:00:27.340 --> 00:00:28.490
and what it should reflect

00:00:28.490 --> 00:00:30.873
from your own personal journey
through the course.

00:00:31.400 --> 00:00:33.600
So, if you feel challenged by those ideas,

00:00:33.600 --> 00:00:35.665
and especially if you have taken 
other classes

00:00:35.665 --> 00:00:38.277
where you saw nice ideas 
that you want to contribute,

00:00:38.880 --> 00:00:40.808
or if you have good ideas of your own,

00:00:41.190 --> 00:00:43.560
please join us and feel free to contribute.
