Professor, open source, EdTech, OER, MOOCs. Python for Everybody - the most popular programming course in the world.
- This July 4, I am thinking about the fight to free student activity data from privately held LMS vendors that treat our data as an asset and are willing sell it to the highest bidder. Episode 3 of my podcast - "Getting Lost on the Way to the Cloud" - youtu.be/7at-Qyj0T0I
- I got my first shot. The person giving the shot recognized the @coursera logo. She had taken an intro Python course on Coursera and dropped out. I told her she should try again and this time take the #1 Python course in the world. coursera.org/learn/python
- Sometime in the next month, my Python for Everybody course on @coursera will reach a half-million completions with a completion rate > 30%
- I am pretty sure Python for Everybody on @Coursera is the most popular programming course of all time. This is one course on one of several platforms. Prove me wrong. cc: @dhawalhshah
- I just passed 10 million views on my @YouTube channel. Since most of my content is Free and Open Education, I rarely monetize. I made less than $10 last month. :)
- In memory of my father Russell Calvin Eugene Severance, born December 13, 1930 in Camden, New Jersey - departed June 5, 2021 in his garden. He taught me to appreciate hard work, the value of an education, Algebra, and so much more.
- It is very rewarding to be a @Coursera instructor when you get a note like this on a Sunday morning. cc: @umsi @UMichiganAI @ColleenAtUMSI
- Hi all, this is for students who have taken my other online courses - I need a few Beta testers for my next free/open online course - "PostgreSQL for Everybody" - covers PostgreSQL, Database Architectures, and ElasticSearch
