Coursera で自分がこないだまで受講してた Data Analysis の講師の Jeff Leek とその前に受講してた Computing for Data Analysis の講師の Roger Peng の振り返り的な対談。 #dataanalysis #compdata
色々興味深いが、まず受講者数はそんなにいたんだねぇ。せいぜい数千人くらいしかいないと思っていたよ。
あと、MOOCという言葉を初めて知ったよ。
David Proffer さんが最初に共有した投稿Interesting brain dump by the two teachers of a #mooc class I recently completed at +Coursera on #dataanalysis & #rprogramming Worth watching if you are interested in the class topic and/or MOOC's. They published the student completion numbers:
There were approximately 102,000 students enrolled in the course, about 51,000 watched videos, 20,000 did quizzes, and 5,500 did/graded the data analysis assignments.
I enjoyed the classes, Jeff Leek of Johns Hopkins University is a very bright guy. I learned a lot, both about data analysis and about how a Coursera with peer review works. As Jeff and Roger discuss, a huge part of the learning comes from reading and participating in the message board of the class. The bad news of that is the message board message volume is far too large in a class of this size to keep up and find the valuable threads. And unfortunately, the Coursera message board software is very poor. They really could make their classes a far better teaching experience by simply improving the ability for reading and tracking the message boards.

たくさんの人が居るってのはいろいろ可能性がありそうで。
こういう経験を積んでいく、って今人に物を教えるなら凄く重要な気がしてくるなぁ。
