An example of using Mozilla open badges for accrediting - but, probably more importantly, motivating - achievement in a mooc.

80 hour OER course from the OU. Pitched at a different audience to Citizens' Maths, but may have some points we can learn from.

Runs on Adobe AIR on Mac and Windows (not Linux yet)

This is a bit long-winded and not quite the Woodward/Bernstein exposé it thinks it is, but provides a critical assessment of whether the scaling up economies of MOOCs tend to disappear when you add back the elements that make the course equivalent to fully-fledged masters degrees

Several angles of interest on this, from our own perspective (as prospective uses of data) and that of our prospective learners

Useful resources - especially the linked slideshare presentation - from Tony Hirst, providing pointers to tools and techniques for making use of learning analytics

Jenny Mackness on the experience, and some of the pitfalls,mot peer assessment on Coursera (Seb Schmoller has also written about this)

Curiously revisionist history of MOOCs that centres on a Maths MOOC aimed at preparing students for US college courses that requite some maths proficiency

Interesting sample of findings from use of analytics in xMOOCs

This is a long shot, but might the IMF want to encourage some of its learners with limited maths competence/confiden to do our course first?

Staged interview with one of the designers of Saylor's Real World Math courses

For market comparison. Like all Saylor courses, this one largely curates OERs from other sources, including Khan Academy

"This course is for teachers of math (K-12) or for other helpers of students, such as parents. After the summer I will release a student version of this course. This course provides an opportunity for teachers and parents to preview the ideas for students and think about how they may be useful, as well as learn from new research ideas and share ideas with other teachers and parents who enroll in the course. The course will also include interviews with some of the world's leading thinkers, such as Sebastian Thrun (Udacity/Google) and Carol Dweck (expert on mindset)."

I haven't really looked under the bonnet of this yet, but it seems interesting in terms of market positioning alone (though note: aimed at school level/context).
