Description
Hangout with the Oplerno Team as we share our news and progress with you
A
Here
we
go
all
right
good
afternoon.
Everybody
welcome
to
the
second
faculty
meeting
for
a
player.
Now
I'm
rob
skiff
you'll,
see
daniel
crompton
who's,
our
director
of
technology
and
you'll,
see
dan
kirk
who's,
director
of
operations
and
faculty
support
and
we'd
like
to
give
you
a
little
bit
of
an
update
on
what
we've
been
up
to
the
past
month,
six
weeks
or
so,
and
also
feel
free.
A
A
A
A
You
know
we're
running
the
player
note
right
now
with
three
people
myself,
daniel
dan
and
we've
got
a
whole
lot
of
different
infrastructure
that
we've
got
to
get
in
place
so
that
we
can
serve
faculty
and
students.
Well,
so
we've
been,
you
know
we
did
the
indiegogo
campaign,
we're
still
doing
that,
but
we've
had
to
concentrate
on
software
development
and
also
getting
in
place
a
lot
of
things
dealing
with
you
know
finishing
up.
A
Banking
infrastructure,
making
sure
that
funds
are
not
co-mingled
between
tuition
that
we
collect
and
our
operations.
So
that
should
so
that
faculty
will
always
get
paid
for
their
work
and
also
that
the
student,
if
they
request
a
refund,
can
get
that
can
get
that
money
sent
back
to
them.
In
addition,
we've
got
I've
been
working,
a
lot
on
insurance
both
for
plano
and
for
faculty,
and
that's
insurance
to
what
are
called
what's
called
a
dna
directors
and
officers
insurance,
but
also
educators,
insurance.
A
A
I
have
to
get
a
global
policy,
so
it's
been
really
interesting
as
a
startup
presenting
the
business
plan,
and
you
know
our
small
infrastructure
to
be
dealing
with
really
large
insurance
companies
and
and
explaining
to
them
what
we're
trying
to
do
and
finally
sort
of
some
legal
issues
and
some
student
issues
is
creating
a
just
as
we
created
a
faculty
contract
for
faculty
when
they
sign
up.
We
also
want
to
create
a
really
comprehensive
student
contract
that
they'll
review
and
they'll
sign
and
that
that
defines
our
relationship.
A
All
of
these
things
take
time
and
they
have
to
be
done
thoughtfully.
So
you
know
we've
been
going
really
fast,
but
we've
had
to
be.
You
know,
really
really
methodical
in
what
we're
doing
the
launch
date.
We're
still
on
target
to
launch
in
february
we're
planning
that
the
first
classes
are
going
to
be
listed
on
the
marketplace
which
daniel
will
talk
about
in
a
bit
roughly
48
hours
after
we
receive
approval
from
the
state
of
vermont
to
offer
four
credit
classes
that
can
be
transferred
to
other
to
other
institutions.
A
A
I've
also
gotten
some
funds
in
the
in
the
form
of
a
loan
from
family
to
bring
our
our
our
resources
up
to
about
30
000
to
last
us
for
a
good
amount
of
time,
so
that
will
be
launched.
We'll
have
money
to
draw
upon.
Should
we
need
it,
for
you
know
things
like
insurance,
legal
issues,
etc.
That
arise,
and
so
you
know
this
is
a
really
a
going
concern
and
we're
all
really
excited
to
to
get
this
off
the
ground.
B
All
right,
so
I've
been
busy
with
the
marketplace
for
quite
some
time,
we're
really
starting
to
see
some
nice
things
now
I've.
For
the
last
two
weeks,
I've
been
user
testing
and
thanks
to
everybody,
who's
coming
there
come
to
help
me
use
a
user
test,
especially
thanks
to
chuck
and
paul
who
were
the
first
to
come.
They
really
did
worked
hard
and
yeah.
It
was
if
it
wasn't
as
usable
as
I
would
like
to
have
had
it
to
for
the
first
people,
so
they
really.
B
They
really
gave
me
really
good
feedback
there
and
we're
now
working
on
the
design,
making
it
make
it
more
beautiful,
making
more
easier
to
use
so
that
everybody
can
use
it.
So
I'm
welcoming
any
of
you
to
apply
and
ask
for
the
user
testing
for
the
beginning
as
we're
just
putting
in
a
launching
new
design
which
has
been
created
thanks
to
dan
and
a
couple
of
others.
B
C
You
know
just
by
kind
of
sweeping
up.
We
found
a
few
people
who
were
wanting
to
engage
with
us
and
and
we
kind
of
lost
touch,
and
so
we've
recruited
a
few
new
faculty
just
in
that
process,
which
I
think
is
a
good
practice
and
something
we
should
do
anyway.
So
it's
been
a
good
kind
of
jump
start
for
us
in
the
new
year.
So
with
that,
we
will
be
as
we
progress
toward
going
live.
We
will
post
all
those
courses
just
in
a
generic
catalog
online,
nothing
too
in
depth.
C
Just
the
course
descriptions
that
you
provide
when
you
propose
them
to
us,
we'll
just
put
those
out,
so
people
can
get
a
feel
for
kind
of
literally
what
we
teach
you
know.
We
have
a
page
for
that
on
our
site
right
now,
that's
very
broad
and
overarching,
but
we
don't
have
any
course
names
and
descriptions
yet
for
people
to
sift
through.
C
So
that's
kind
of
one
feature
we'd
like
to
add,
as
and
again
as
we're
building
up
our
application,
getting
really
primed
to
open
the
doors
to
students-
and
you
know,
building
out
this-
the
website
infrastructure,
the
marketplace
infrastructure
and
any
information
that
would
be
relevant
to
you
know
recruitment,
because
again
one
what's
one
beautiful
thing
about
what
we're
doing
here
is
that
it's
mutually
beneficial.
Every
dollar
that
comes
in
on
indiegogo
every
course
that
gets
listed.
Every
high
quality
recruit
that
we
get
in
the
faculty.
Realm
makes
a
plairno
that
much
stronger.
C
C
So
you
know
tap
into
those
sources,
send
out
an
email
there's
you
know
close
to
50
hours
left
or
almost
under
two
days
remaining,
and
you
know
that's
also
one
thing
with
these
crowdfunding
campaigns
that
gets
people
sort
of
feeling
that
urgency
kind
of
down
to
the
wire.
Last
minute,
procrastination
contributions,
so
you
know
we
definitely
want
to
urge
you
to
do
that
so
that
we
can
help
you
dig
in
sooner
again.
C
Yeah
the
rising
tide
lifts
all
boats
is
is
really
one
one
great
aspect
about
what
we're
doing
it's
a
movement
and
it's
a
bunch
of
us
working
towards
the
same
goal.
It's
it's
hardly
competitive
and
it's
for
the
right
reasons.
So
again
any
help
and
any
shares
or
a
couple
bucks
here
and
there
it'll
go
a
long
way
so
I'll
pass
it
back
to
rob,
and
we
can
maybe
start
entertaining
questions
if
there
are
any
out.
A
A
Okay,
let
me
just
talk
a
little
bit
about
the
accreditation
and
also
our
transparency
as
soon
as
we
send
the
send
our
package
in
the
application
for
approval
into
the
state
of
vermont,
and
we
get
it
back
from
the
state
we'll
put
that
application
up
online.
So
you
can
see
all
that
that
we
submitted
we're.
C
A
A
C
You
know
faculty,
don't
pay
to
get
started.
There's
there's
no
subscription
faculty.
You.
The
payment
structure
is
such
that
once
students
are
enrolled,
depending
on
your
price
point,
you
know
which
the
the
contract
lays
out.
You
know
we
divide
the
money
from
there.
We
split
what
comes
in
as
a
group.
We
don't
you
don't
have
to
upfront
anything
you're
free
to
teach
and
the
payment
structure
is
also
in
the
contract.
How
it
gets
paid
out
throughout
your
12-week
course.
A
And
you
can
get,
you
can
decide
to
end
the
contract
or,
in
your
end,
your
involvement
with
the
plairno
at
any
time,
and
you
can
take
your
ip
I.e.
The
courses
that
you've
developed
to
another
you
know
to
another
institution
or
whatever
we're
not
going
to
lock
you
in
we're
not
going
to
lock
you
in
at
all.
A
Yeah,
let's
just
go
to
neil's
question
david:
if
you
have
another
question
to
follow
up,
you
can
also
review
our
contract
on
our
website.
Okay,
when
do
you
think
the
application
is
going
out
and
what
turnaround
do
you
anticipate
I'm
waiting
right
now
for
the
final
draft
of
our
student
contract
and
a.
A
What's
the
turnaround
without
showing
my
cards
too
much
the
turnaround's
not
going
to
be
a
lot
we're
not
talking
about
months,
you
know
we're
talking
about
days
or
weeks,
we've
been
in
contact
with
the
state
of
vermont.
They
like
what
we're
doing
they,
like
our
transparency,
we're
being
really
really
thorough
in
the
application
about
all
the
different
kinds
of
you
know
concerns
that
they
have,
which
it
really
basically
centers
around.
A
C
As
you
know,
philosophical
learning
paths,
and
it's
just
been-
it's
been
easy
in
that
way
for
us,
because
you
know
the
fact
that
our
faculty
are
early
adopters
eager
folks
who
you
know
are
looking
to
craft
their
own
path
because
they
believe
and
are
passionate
about
their.
What
they're
doing
and
no
amount
of
bad
adjunct.
C
So
that's
just
that's
worth
mentioning
and
worth
you
guys
kind
of
knowing
that
you're
you're
among
really
good
company
and
the
state
accrediting
body
is,
is
really
excited
about
it
and
you
know
they
take
it
with
with
a
smile
rather
than
a
scowl
and
you
know
put
on
their
glasses
and
have
to
look
it
over.
So
that's
been
really
great.
A
A
Again,
I
I'll,
I
don't
want
to
throw
all
the
cards
out,
but
the
big,
the
biggest
thing
that
we're
going
to
have
to
work
on
is
growing
this
organically,
and
what
that
means
is
that
we've
got
a
couple
different
things
going
for
us.
One
is
the
marketplace
program
where
the
level
of
information
that
that
students
have
to
analyze
and
look
at
faculty
before
they
take
the
class
is,
is
going
to
be
a
whole
lot
more
than
they
get
at
a
traditional
university
or
online
online
educational
institution.
A
Our
price
points
in
north
america
are
a
whole
lot
lower
and
we're
really
going
to
be
pushing
with
the
students
and
the
interested
parties
about.
We
don't
we're
going
to
counsel
people
out
of
going
into
debt
for
their
education,
so
we're
going
to
be
going
a
little
bit
by
word
of
mouth.
We're
also
going
to
our
faculty
are
of
the
kind
of
caliber
of
of
of
people
that
when
you
know
they
also
have
a
vested
interest
in
going
out
and
communicating
about
their
classes.
A
A
You
know
again
organically
we're
not
shooting
the
first
year
for
huge
numbers
and
we
can,
but
all
of
us,
both
the
faculty
and
and
the
player
now
can
make
a
very
nice
living
and
a
profit
off
of
getting
a
few
really
good
hits.
So
the
marketing
I've
done
admissions
for
a
startup,
a
startup
educational
institution
in
a
with
not
a
lot
of
of
not
a
lot
of
huge
market.
It's
a
lot.
A
We're
going
to
be
dealing
with
a
lot
of
phone
calls
answering
questions
and
a
lot
of
what
high
touch
pieces
for
right
now
and
then
slowly
word
will
get
out,
we'll
be
building
our
network,
we'll
be
building
our
community,
and
I
think
things
will
start
there'll,
be
some
really
great
positive
feedback
loops,
but
yeah.
I
think
the
demand
is
huge.
It's
just
gonna,
it's
gonna
take
a
little
bit
to
get.
A
C
You
know
working
to
get
those
credits
to
work
towards
their
degree
and
with
the
opportunities
that
we're
providing
faculty
and
the
incentive
to
build
a
strong
and
full
class.
You
know
I
think,
what's
nice
about
it,
is
it
speaks
for
itself,
and
you
know
you
talk
to
folks
about
what
you're
up
to
in
life
and
I
tell
them
about
a
planner
and
they
go
wow
great
idea.
C
So
again
we
don't
want
we
by
being
pre-approved
we're,
not
you
know,
while
we're
before
approval,
we,
you
know,
are
airing
on
the
side
of
an
ethically
sound
progression
and
not
sort
of
revealing
those
plans.
But
it's
not
far
away,
so
you
know,
hang
in
there
we're
definitely
going
to
as
be
transparent
once
we
feel
like
it's
ethically
sound
and
reasonable
to
both
you
us
and
the
future
students.
A
A
You
know
we
may
lower
that
number
initially
for
first
time
faculty
to
you
know
15
to
20.,
but
the
minimum
number
is
up
to
the
faculty
member
and
we're
gonna
classes
will
run
if,
if
there
are
two
people
in
a
class
that
the
faculty
on
our
teaching
and
the
faculty
member
still
wants
to
teach
the
class,
that
class
runs
we're
not
going
to
yeah
we're
not
going
to
cancel
classes
due
to
low
enrollment.
It's
up
to
the
faculty.
You
guys
are
in
charge.
C
A
It's
a
great
question:
some
of
that's
going
to
evolve
faculty
are
are
really
the
treasure
and
the
the
the
treasure
of
an
institution
we're
going
to.
We
want
faculty
to
concentrate
on
on
and
and
helping
faculty
have
an
amazing
amount
of
academic
freedom
in
terms
of
what
they're
going
to
develop
on
the
courses.
We
want
to
create
systems
where
faculty
get
paid
as
much
money
as
we
possibly
can,
while
keeping
student
costs
as
low
as
possible
through
our
marketplace,
our
faculty.
A
But
I
I
see
this
as
my
vision
of
it
is
faculty
being
able
to
create
classes
being
able
to
get
together
with
groups
of
like-minded
faculty
individuals
and
develop
certificate
programs
and
degree
programs
that
they
own,
that
they
have
academic
freedom
and
that
they
have
that
we
develop
really
a
global
marketplace.
A
global
organization
where
we
can
assemble
pieces,
assemble
pieces
of
both
programs
and
and
faculty
interests
from
all
over
the
world.
To
do
some
amazing
things
and
and
part
of
that's
gonna.
A
You
know
again,
that's
gonna,
develop
organically
and
centered
around.
You
know,
think
about
sort
of
complex
adaptive
systems
and
and
and
self-organizing
principles.
We're
not
we're
not
quite
there
yet,
and
I
don't
wanna
limit
us
limit
the
vision
of
how
faculty
are
involved
and
how
faculty
the
role
of
faculty
right
now
by
mapping
out
every
particular
thing
in
in
the
future.
A
Both
we'll
send
us
a
proposal,
we'll
take
a
look
at
it
and
and
we're
very
interested
it.
You
know,
I
I
see
professional,
you
know
professional
development
and
certification.
It
kind
of
depends
on
your
discipline
and
depends
on
you
know
what
you're
working.
You
know
your
discipline
or
your
area
going
to
take
many
many
forms.
A
A
You
know
this
is
about
you
as
a
professional
developing
your
course
you
getting
together
what
I
call
your
dream:
team
of
people
to
produce
a
certificate
or
degree
program
in
a
subject
area
that
you
know
about
and
that
you
you
understand
that
there's
a
need
for
it
and
that's
from
anything
from
ecological
restoration
which
gosh
that's
an
industry.
We
really
need
3d,
printing,
nano
scale
manufacturing
to
old
english
and
hopefully
we'll
get
some
people
interested
in
in
studying
lone
tar
manuscripts
of
the
of
old
balinese.
C
And
most
of
these
professional
development
certification
situations,
as
with
an
academic
setting
a
lot
of
what
contributes
to
that
being
deemed
you
know,
approvable
or
acceptable
in
that
profession,
is
the
credentials
and
the
structure
put
forth
by
the
instructor
and
creator.
So
if
you,
if
something
you've,
you
know
you
can
do
or
have
had
experience
with
in
the
past
and
want
to
create
something
new
and
offer
it
through
a
player
note.
A
I
mean
doctor,
I
checked,
to
see
who
sent
me
the
who
sent
the
question
up,
and
you
know
dr
dunbar
is
extremely
smart
and
you
know
any
professional
development
program
that
you
want
to
develop.
That
you
want
to
create
is
clearly
going
to
be
high
quality.
So
just
send
us
the
proposal
and,
let's
you
know,
let's,
let's
create
it.
A
Okay,
so
we'll
give
it
another
minute,
you
know,
no
question
is
out
of
bounds,
guys
so
ask
us
whatever
you
like
and-
and
you
know
we'll
give
it
another
minute
or
so,
but
I
don't
want
to
you
know
waste
your
time
by
droning
on
and
on
about.
You
know
stuff
that
you're
not
interested
in
or
filling
space.
B
B
A
Oh
I've,
I've
got
one,
it
asks.
Where
are
the
bulk
of
your
students?
Do
you
think
where
they're
gonna
come
from?
That's
a
great
question
and
I'll
give
you
an
I'll
give
you
the
honest
answer,
I'm
not
sure
we've
gotten
messages
and
faculty
interests
from
all
over.
You
know
I'm
really
interested
in
a
group
in
a
very
smart
human
who
contacted
us
who
would
like
to
develop
computer
science
courses
in
portuguese
and
he's
from
he's
from
brazil,
and
there
is
a
huge
need
to
deal
with.
A
Having
more
computer
science
courses
in
portuguese
in
brazil,
he
could
probably
create
one
of
the
largest
online
series
of
courses
in
educational
institutions
in
that
country.
It's
just
gonna.
You
know
it
depends
on
who,
on
the
area
that
people
are
developing
courses
in
and
it
depends
on
the
team
that
decides
to
hop
on
board
with
us.
So
I'm
I'm
not
really
sure
you
know
we're
not
going
to
target
particular
markets
for
things.
We're
going
really
rely,
look
at
faculty
and
we're
really
gonna
allow
things
to
become
self-organizing
and
and
and
check
that
out.
A
Another
quick
thing
is:
our
ultimate
goal
is
to
get
regional
accreditation
through
this
regional
accreditation
through
new
england,
association
of
schools
and
colleges
or
or
other
or
another
regional
accreditation
group,
but
some
of
them
require
you
to
wait
two
or
three
years
before
applying
for
that.
I'm
gonna
try
to
make
the
case
that
that
for
us
to
push
and
go
through
that
process,
much
sooner
so
it's
it's
going.
It's
going
really
really!
Well,
you
know
I'm
gonna
be
again.
C
It's
just
to
lay
out
kind
of
the
the
vocab
that
we're
using
approval
from
the
state
foreign
allows
us
to
issue
credit
that
can
be
transferred
to
another
institution
of
higher
learning
that
can
grant
degrees.
So
we
yeah
so
imagine
a
student
goes
abroad
to
a
program.
You
get
15
credits
for
that
semester,
then
they
go
back
to
their
original
institution
and
those
credits
are
approved
and
that
contributes
then
to
their
their
degree
pursuit
we
operate
in
a
similar
way,
except
instead
of
going
abroad.
C
C
Now
I've
worked
with
students
going
through
transfer
affairs
quite
a
bit,
and
I
anticipate
that
it
won't
be
a
problem
most
of
the
time
again,
just
like
I
mentioned,
with
the
professional
development
certificates
and
any
continuing
sort
of
ed
like
that,
it's
gonna
come
down
to
what
was
the
syllabus.
What
was
the
course
load?
What
was
the
instructor's
credentials?
C
What
are
the
skills
you
got
out
of
it
and,
as
you
guys
know,
between
our
ability
to
provide
that
information,
as
you
know,
as
a
parental
organization,
and
as
we
progress
towards
creating
that
portfolio
program
that
documents,
student,
achievement
and
and
skill
acquisition,
it's
only
going
to
become
easier
and
easier
to
do
that
and
again
that'll
all
be
rolled
into
the
progress
of
getting
fully
accredited,
at
which
point
we
would
be
able
to
offer
degrees.
But
until
that
point
we
are,
we
are
offering
credit
that
can
be
transferred
back
to
a
degree
granting
institution.
A
One
thing
to
also
keep
in
mind
that,
depending
upon
the
degree
there
are
various
levels
of
accreditation
and,
depending
upon
the
subject
matter
that
you
are
working
in,
you
have
to
get
a
further
level
of
accreditation.
So,
for
example,
we've
got
two
pretty
amazing
people
who
want
to
develop
programs
in
space
engineering,
sp,
astro,
aeronautics.
A
We're
gonna
we're
completely
into
that.
Are
you
considering
working
in
india?
Yes,
we
have
to
find
some
faculty
who
are
interested
in
well,
two
things
we
will.
You
know
we'd
love
applications
from
people
in
india
to
teach
they
get
treated
like
any
other
faculty.
Member
from
any
country,
so
we're
completely
open
to
that
now
in
terms
of
students
taking
classes
from
us
who
are
from
india.
Yes,
each
country
has,
though,
its
own
specific
rules,
okay,
and
about
whether
they
recognize
online
learning
or
not.
A
So
we'll
accept
students
to
take
classes.
We
will
accept
students
from
india
to
take
classes
and
but
we're
going
to
be
working
and
making
sure
that
you
know
we're
following
all
the
rules
and
regulations
of
the
department
of
education
in
india
but
sure
I
mean,
of
course,
we'll
accept
faculty
applications
from
from
india.
A
I'm
really
actually
excited
to
finally
have
an
excuse
to
go
to
mumbai
and
visit
my
wife's
family
and
some
of
my
cousins
in
law
that
I
haven't
met
yet
in
mumbai,
so
yeah
I'd
love
to
have
a
huge
group
in
india
teaching.
So
I
could
have
an
excuse
to
to
go
to
mumbai
and
even
you
know,
head
up
into
the
punjab,
where
they're
from
any
other
questions,
I
might
have
gotten
another
one.
A
And
the
answer
to
that
is:
yes,
I
am
not
until
we
reach
a
level
of
economic
sustainability
in
terms
of
the
operations,
I'm
not
going
to
accept
that
you
know
a
salary
or
anything
like
that.
Daniel
and
dan
are
not
only.
I
mean
they
have
other
work
that
they're
doing,
but
they've
agreed.
You
know
they're
part
they're,
you
know
they
own
bits
of
a
plairno,
I'm
a
part
of
a
player
now-
and
you
know,
you'll
also
be
informed
of
that.
A
After
our
after
our
approval,
when
we're
putting
more
documents
publicly
online
about
our
structure,
I've
got
a
lot
of
people.
Who've
told
me,
they're
very
committed
to
making
sure
that
this
vision
happens
and
so
yeah.
This
will
be
up
and
running
for
a
year.
We've
really
designed
a
player
now
to
run
lean.
Okay,
it
boggles
my
mind
that
we
have
70
people
creating
courses.
We've
got
you
know.
Daniel
has
done
an
amazing
job
with
the
marketplace
on
limited
resources.
A
Dan
kirk
is
doing
a
great
job
on
you
know,
supporting
all
the
faculty
and
we've
just
created
a
very
lean
organization
that
once
we
start
to
have
students
taking
classes,
I
think
you
know
we'll
be
able
to
pay
everybody
a
good
living
wage,
but
you
know
we're
building
a
business
here
and
so
right
now
it's
gonna
be
a
bit
lean,
but
that's
okay,
you,
you
know
we'd
much
I'd
much
rather
have
it.
You
know
us
in
control.
A
A
A
Okay,
well,
let's
just
you
know,
45
minutes,
this
is
probably
the
most
efficient
and
shortest
faculty
meeting
ever
so.
I'd
like
to
you
know
end
it
all
by
just
saying
you
know.
Thank
you
up
is
your
instructional
platform
up
and
running,
for
example,
is
it
the
point
where
instructors
can
start
building
their
courses
in
the
platform
that
students
will
use?
Of
course,
ben?
A
We
once
you
sign
the
contract
with
us,
and
you
once
you
sign
the
contract
and
we
give
you
an
email,
that's
connected
with
aplernow,
and
we
give
you
full
access
to
our
content
management
system
and
you
can
start
building
the
courses
that
the
students
are
used.
In
fact,
the
courses
that
we
listed
with
the
state
of
vermont
as
part
of
our
catalog
are,
are
all
you
know,
halfway
or
three
quarters
of
the
way
built
so
yeah
sure
where
it's
it's
beyond
the
point.
It's
great.
A
It's
called
canvas
buy-in
structure
and
but
we're
adding
the
marketplace
and
another
portfol
a
program
which
will
be
the
portfolio
which
is
going
to
kick
on
our
ability
to
do
education
and
analyze
people's
results
and
skills
to
a
completely
different
level.
But
right
now
we
need
to
do.
We
need
to
have
content
and
that's
you
know
and
we're
getting
that
pretty
quickly,
but
so
I
hope
I
answered
your
question
anything
else:
okay,
again,
faculty
and
community
members.
Is
it
more
fun
than
blackboard?
A
A
So
you
know
we're
just
not
going
to
do
that.
I
wasn't
going
to
do
that
in
canvas
by
instructure,
it's
a
product
that
is
going
to
and
it's
also
a
company,
that's
going
to
really
give
blackboard
a
run
for
its
money
and
it's
a
much
better
system.
It's
also
an
open
api,
which
is
which
makes
it
great
to
develop
add-ons,
and
it's
it's
much
better.
Okay,
quick
question.
B
By
instructor,
canvas
is
also
completely
open
source,
which
gave
us
the
added
advantages
that
we
could
integrate
everything.
Quite
simply,
we
chose
to
have
a
hosted
solution
so
that
they
we
don't
have
to
have
the
the
pay
for
the
people
and
they
pay
for
the
people
to
look
after
the
hosting,
but
in
principle
in
the
future.
B
A
A
What
I
want
to
do
is
I
want
to
playernow
wants
to
have
you
know
daniel
working
on
great
add-ons
and
extra
features
that
are
just
unique
to
us
and
yeah
we're
not
canvas
by
instructure
they're,
phenomenal
they're,
a
great
company
to
work
with
I've
worked
with
blackboard
yeah.
You
know
it's
just
not
a
it's.
It
was
a
great
product
10
years
ago.
It's
not
a
great
product.
A
Now
you
know
that's
that's
my
opinion,
so
send
all
your
your
money
and
send
all
your
customers
to
canvas,
buy
instructure
and
tell
them
what
plano
sent
you.
That
would
be
great.
So
david
asks
I've,
developed
courses
on
quebec
and
the
french
and
north
america
at
a
state
university
in
new
york
as
an
adjunct.
How
to
promote
these
courses
on
a
player,
know
and
compete
for
students
at
universities
who
offer
them?
Could
you
talk
about
course
marketing?
Okay,
I
want
to
deal
with
that
question
in
two
ways.
A
First
off
one
of
the
things
you
need
to
keep
in
mind
david
is:
do
you
own
the
content
that
you've
created
for
the
state
universities
in
new
york
as
an
adjunct?
You
may
not,
and
so
you
want
to
check
your
contract,
because
when
you
put
your
stuff
online
that
state
university
and
your
contract
might
have
taken
ownership
of
of
any
online
content
that
you
create.
A
A
We
list,
we
list
the
faculty
member.
We
want
you
to
place
your
cv
where
the
students
can
take
a
look
at
it.
We
want
you
to
place
a
copy
of
the
syllabus
okay
that
students
can
review
before
they
take
it.
You're
also
going
to
be
getting
reviews
both
from
outsiders
of
your
course
and
each
student
is
going
to
be
required
to
fill
out
a
review
of
your
class.
A
A
You
know
that
you
are
a
top-notch
excellent
teacher
they're
going
to
take
your
class,
and
I
also
suspect
that
you
know
if
you
offer
that
class
for
between
500
and
1500
that
they
might
be
like
wow,
instead
of
taking
a
chance
on
taking
a
course
on
on
quebec
and
the
french
and
north
america,
through
just
somebody
who
I
don't
really
know
or
who
I
don't
get
a
lot
of
information,
I'm
just
taking
this
course.
I've
got
the
person's
name,
there's
not
a
lot
of
discovery
about
about
skills
and
syllabus,
etc.
A
Who
would
you
rather
take
it
from
somebody
who's
giving
you
a
lot
of
information
up
front?
Well,
you
know
exactly
what
you're
getting
into
or
so
or
take
it
and
look
at
it
at
a
course
catalog,
where
you're
not
getting
that
so
course
marketing
the
the
more
the
larger
our
our
marketplace
becomes
in
terms
of
its
listing
of
courses
and
faculty,
the
more
valuable
it
becomes.
A
The
more
valuable
each
part
of
that
network
is
because
you're
going
to
have
a
whole
lot
more
of
discovery
and
a
whole
lot
more
of
diversity,
of
of
pedagogical
approaches
in
particular
subjects.
So
you
know
it's
all
about
the
teaching
but
david,
I
think
you're.
I
think
it's
really
true
that
it's
really
true
that
your
initially,
I
think
that
marketing
piece
is
going
to
be
a
little
bit
tricky
until
we
develop
on
some
sense
of
scale.
David
says:
fyi.
A
St
michael's
college
is
also
switching
to
canvas
yup
and
and
champlain
college
and
st
michael's
college
in
vermont.
For
those
of
you
listening
globally
and
champlain
college.
Another
great
institution
in
burlington
also
switched
to
canvas.
That's
true.
Many
people
are
switching
to
canvas
and
it's
a
great
great,
it's
a
great
product.
A
A
A
I
got
one
question:
what
are
sort
of
the
dream
courses
and
dream
degrees
that
you
would
like
to
see
developed
for
me
personally,
I
mean
we'll
just
we'll
go
quickly
through
daniel
and
dan
can
say:
I'm
really
interested
in
ecological
restoration
and
a
whole
bunch
of
courses.
I
think
there's
a
huge
industry.
That's
going
to
develop
in
the
next
10
15
years,
centered
around
restoring
damaged
environments
and.
A
There
are
whole
bunches
of
disciplines
that
have
to
come
together
to
do
this
work
and
I
think
a
player
know
is
going
to
be
a
way
for
these,
for
both
certificates,
degrees
and
just
skills
in
this
area
to
get
disseminated
really
really
quickly.
So
I'm
I'm
really
excited
for
that,
and
then
stuff
like
system
dynamics
and
systems.
Modeling
is
something
that
I'm
interested
in.
Along
with,
like
you
know,
I
mean
there's
just
so
much
daniel.
What
about
daniel
might
not
be
there
dan?
What
about
you?
C
C
A
A
You
know
like
I
was
saying
you
know
old
javanese,
and
god
knows
what
else
you
know
that
you
can
get
if
you
can
get
25
people
together
and
you've
got
some
faculty
from
who
you
know
doesn't
matter
where
they
are,
you
can
offer
a
class,
and
you
can
you
can
transfer
that
knowledge
to
other
people?
What
about
you
daniel?
What
are
you?
B
Well,
as
dan
was
answering,
as
you
were
answering,
I
was
pretty
much
agreed
with
you,
but
what
I
really
would
like
to
do
is
to
have
something
with
quantum
physics,
something
that
that
is
so
something
that
only
10
people
in
the
world
understand
and
I'd
like
to
be
the
11th.
So
where
and
I
would
be
perfect
place
yeah
for
that.
So
was
it
for
one
of
those
people
to
come
and
teach
it
yeah.
A
Let's,
instead
of
there
being
10
people
who
understand
quantum
physics,
imagine
the
progress
we
can
make
as
humanity
when
there
are
a
thousand
you
know
or
when
you
know
we
stop
this
gatekeeping
function
in
education,
where
only
a
certain
amount
of
people
can
take
a
particular
class
with
a
high
quality
instructor.
Let's
just
you
know
the
internet's
here:
let's
use
it
to
create
the
highest
possible
numbers
of
people
educated
to
their
full
potential,
and
then,
let's
you
know,
kick
start
the
next,
the
next
renaissance
and
get
out
of
this.
A
You
know
mess
we're
in,
but
that's
you
know
again.
I
don't
want
to
get
too
political
yet,
but
yeah
we're.
You
know
that
that's
the
great
thing
I
think
we're
gonna
call
it.
You
know
one
hour
with
the
faculty
meeting.
That's
probably
enough
for
anybody
shoot
us
questions
again.
Thank
you
guys
for
thank
you
all
for
listening
in
and
we'll
give
you
updates,
and
I
think
we're
going
to
probably
do
these
kinds
of
meetings
about
every
two
weeks
now.
A
The
next
one,
though,
is
going
to
be
very
late
at
night
for
me,
because
we
want
to
get
our
faculty
who
are
over
in
asia
with
the
chance
to
participate
and
for
them
it
would
be
five
in
the
morning
and
that's
just
not
not
okay,
so
we're
going
to
switch
around
the
times,
but
you
know
send
us
your
questions.
Keep
us,
you
know,
keep
us
in
your
thoughts
and
spread.
