Hi all, I just wanted to let you know about a very open Python MOOC I am doing over the next 10 weeks. It is a little different than other MOOCs in that everything is open and reusable/remix-able materials.
It is based on my book "Python for Informatics: Exploring Information". It is derived from Alan Downey's + Jeff Elkner's Think Python book with a switch form a math-focus to more of a data-focus. I am doing an experiment where I am mixing 70 of my on-campus students with about 220 open-enrollment students in the same learning environment. I hope the things I am building like an auto-grader based on Brad Miller's Skulpt in browser Python environment can be helpful to other teachers. I figured I would let the edu-sig folks know about the course. http://online.dr-chuck.com/ http://www.pythonlearn.com/ Folks can still join the course until early February and I have a playground space that is always open for folks to watch lectures and play with the auto-grader. Comments welcome.
