E-Mails opened

Thoughts
Platforms are not necessary.
Learners do just fine moving across resources.
Maybe communities ought to be bigger than courses.

Openness remains important.
Learners now define success.
Maybe the problem with MOOCs will be they are too cheap to produce, not too expensive.

New sequence starts in June!
