Peter JohnsonHOST
32:14

Matt FalcusGUEST
32:21
yeah yeah not not passengers sadly that i think a 2014 was last passenger flight but yeah edX have brought them back and western global have brought them back i think UPS have completely retired the fleet after the accident yeah but yeah there'll be some modifications then i think edX will bring them slowly back and how long i don't know because it's is quite an aging aircraft now, and there are not many around.
Matt FalcusGUEST
32:44
I think they must prefer to rely on the 767s, 777s, and the next generation of freighters, which are coming like the A350 freighter.
Matt FalcusGUEST
32:54
So it's one to see while you can, the MD-11s.
Kathleen deLaskiGUEST
1:52
And that was sort of like, bing, you know, it made everybody kind of sit up and go, whoa, we can democratize higher education.
Kathleen deLaskiGUEST
1:58
And Harvard and MIT started their version of MOOCs through something called edX.
Kathleen deLaskiGUEST
2:05
And it was sort of heady times because there was also a lot of investment money coming into the field.
Kathleen deLaskiGUEST
2:13
And so people inside institutions were actually very nervous about, oh, the venture capitalists are going to start companies and they're going to disrupt us.
Rod DananHOST
3:42
So I really fell in love with education from that standpoint where I'm like, OK, so we can align education with careers and we can make something where, you know, an organization is fully aligned around an outcome as the end goal versus just enrollment.
Rod DananHOST
3:57
So yeah, this space, love it.
Rod DananHOST
4:00
So you recognize this trend, you saw how all these things are popping up, whether it's the MOOCs, bootcamps, edX, all those.
Rod DananHOST
4:09
So then how are you thinking through how to present it to institutions? Because I feel like institutions in general, they've been relatively slow, we can say.
Chris RamseyGUEST
15:43
And when I came back from Malta and I was at Orient, I wasn't really that aware of no people of color having jobs.
Chris RamseyGUEST
15:51
I was just going, walking around Chris Fram's EDX footballer or the coach.
Chris RamseyGUEST
15:55
But as I grew and realized that that was a problem, that there wasn't much diversity in coaching, my mind started opening a little bit wider to it because what happened was The style of play that I like to do in the development that I like to do was a mishmash of Valderrama, Cruyff, Colombians.
Chris RamseyGUEST
16:17
I sort of created this style of play that I liked, a development style that I used at Orient.
Markus BrunnermeierHOST
1:16
And, uh, that's essentially massive, and it's not tailored to individual ones.
Markus BrunnermeierHOST
1:19
So it started with Khan Academy, but also in academic, Coursera, edX, Udacity, and so forth.
Markus BrunnermeierHOST
1:24
There are a lot of these, uh, online courses.
Markus BrunnermeierHOST
1:27
But of course, it's, you know, not really individually tailored.
Herman PoppleberryHOST
10:56
They're video courses with the video stripped out.
Herman PoppleberryHOST
10:59
The same is true of most MOOCs, Coursera, edX.
Herman PoppleberryHOST
11:02
They'll let you listen to the lectures as audio, but you're missing the visual components that were part of the original design.
Herman PoppleberryHOST
11:09
Is there anything that's actually designed audio-first? Pimsleur, as we mentioned.
WillHOST
38:23
suspect this is where a lot of firms fall down when they're going through the early phases of growth of like building out a team.
WillHOST
38:29
And when you go from being like the rainmaker principal that's billing edX and you're bringing on your first couple of staff members, sure, you might have time to train and coach people.
WillHOST
38:37
But if you're not... actually developing systems and processes and documenting things throughout that journey.
WillHOST
38:43
By the time you get to like employee number four, number five, number six, you don't have time to onboard people and show people one-on-one and you've probably missed the opportunity to standardize and document a lot of those processes.
Esme Fuller-ThomsonGUEST
16:48
So some of the, um, uh, uh, places that do it, there's a course, uh, company called Coursera.
Esme Fuller-ThomsonGUEST
16:55
There's another company called edX.
Esme Fuller-ThomsonGUEST
16:57
And so they can give you courses in almost anything.
Esme Fuller-ThomsonGUEST
17:01
And your public library will also have courses that are, um, [lip smack] uh, that are the, called The Great Lectures.
Artificial IntelligenceNARRATOR
54:14
Attend a MOOC.
Artificial IntelligenceNARRATOR
54:16
Coursera, edX, MIT, Harvard, FreeCodeCamp and others all teach computer programming online.
Artificial IntelligenceNARRATOR
54:23
Once again, the thing that matters most isn't the exact class, but whether it teaches the language, project domain you care about.
Artificial IntelligenceNARRATOR
54:30
Stressing over which book or course to pick is the wrong thing to worry about.
Stephen Hastings-KingGUEST
43:53
So at the time, B&T were fighting a rearguard action in defense of for-profit MOOCs.
Stephen Hastings-KingGUEST
43:58
Remember them? Coursera, edX, and related notions of blended classrooms and hybrid approaches to teaching and so on.
Stephen Hastings-KingGUEST
44:05
The for-profit versions had co-opted the name MOOC from the militantly non-monetizable connectivist versions.
Stephen Hastings-KingGUEST
44:12
They bent the idea from information sharing into course teaching and credit awarding context and promised great financial benefits would be reaped from scale, which they hoped to achieve by opening up admissions to all willing to pay for a version of an education from a name institution.
