I was planning to "re-run" my EEP100 class between Jan and May this year, but I am too busy. I am thinking of doing it in the fall, but only if there are at least 50 people committed to participating. Commitment requires that you pay $100 each, with a $50 rebate for completing the course.
The course would require that you read 2-4 books and several academic papers, that you watch my archived lectures (also available on MP3), take 2 exams, and (usually) participate during twice-weekly online chats, to discuss the materials. There will also be a wiki/discussion forum for students to help each other.
Your thoughts?

Took it in person last semester--definitely recommend!
How to I commit to participate? Link please.
@Anon -- I am looking for people's thoughts first. THEN I will put up a sign in list :)
Damn it, I can't take the class if we don't have 50 people.
Nice!
Entrepeneurship in education. This is the type of disruptive model that Clayton Christensen predicted in one of his books - Seeing What's Next, I think.
Best wishes on the experiment.
yes please
Online chats would be dificult to carry out: distance learning means different time zones around the world, i.e. while in NY is 9 am, it is 3 am in Oslo,
if this would be open to all, I would be interested.
@Ben -- yes, it would be open to all -- who participate -- and yes, discussion times would have to consider time zones...
David, I'm in if you can get the numbers.
David,
I would be very interested. I'd especially like to see if we can compile data on actual costs of water at the tap on a global basis. First via existing infrastructure, and then via 5 gallon bottled providers.
Thanks,
KP
