Hi Tegan!

Very nice to talk with you at the Scottish Games at Pleasanton on Sunday. (Your Mom is a great historian of Clan MacLeod and makes the MacLeod tent very hospitable:).

Here's Betsy Skrip, an animator / artist -
https://twitter.com/betsyskrip - who is working with

recent MIT Ph.D. Sera Thornton -
https://twitter.com/SeraThornton - designing MITx Bio courses, I think.

I posted about some of this at WUaS on August 24th - https://twitter.com/WorldUnivAndSch/status/768859475579138048 - and

https://twitter.com/MITxBio/status/768450205092024320 . 

Could be an interesting direction for you to explore, and also re WUaS eventually.

And there's an open free online HarvardX course with the great Harvard Law Professor Emeritus Charlie Nesson beginning September 27th called JuryX if you want to experience a model of an enjoyable, well designed and well thought out course - with discussion happening in MIT UnHangouts for example. I'll probably participate in this again as well. You can take this course (although you're probably pretty busy) - it's pretty interesting with interesting learning technologies.

Ideas, questions, thoughts or related ? :)

Friendly MacLeod cheers,
Scott
