different video: either the explanation of a new concept or an alternative explanation of
the concept previously misunderstood.

- This is the most evolved flavour of automatable learning.
Seamless Mobile Access

Seamless Mobile Access
- Open Courses provide content in bite size chunks. This makes it suitable for mobile learning on iOS and Android.
- Start the lesson on your desktop, continue on your mobile device, and finish at your desktop. We strive for a seamless transition.
Detailed Look at Crowdsourcing
20
Teaching through Research
Market Research
The Great Sunflower Project
• Use crowdsourcing for research projects to gather large data sets
• Students contribute data and learn about research methods in practice
• Using elements of research as a teaching method are not merely consumer, but co-creators of their educational experience
Crowd Intelligence
• Course creators can employ crowd intelligence challenges to find new solutions to unsolved problems
• Complex assignments (e.g. writing a non-existent Wikipedia article) can be solved by group collaboration
