Goodhart's law states that once a social or economic indicator or other surrogate measure is made a target for the purpose of conducting social or economic policy, then it will lose the information content that would qualify it to play such a role.

Remember Goodhart's Law - any statistical instrument used for policy looses all value, or loosely translated the minute a measure becomes a target it ceases to be a measure.

I think there is a potential to inject a feedback mechanism in this course, and any MOOC for that matter, with regard to the helpfulness of reading material in the Syllabus. I think that would especially suit the Learning & Knowledge Analytics course.

The first impressions I have of a venture like this are positive but not without hesitation. I won't conceal it from you that it is less the topic of "learning analytics" that's of interest to me (although I am ready to learn something about this too), but the course itself. This is also where my hesitation lies, but we shall talk more about this later in the course.

Also, "liking" itself is a very limited way of expressing your thoughts on something. You might like pizza, but no anchovis. If you dislike a Pizza Anchovis, what does the system store? On the other hand, some interesting analogies and recommendations can be done with relatively simple like/dislike statements and multiple choice answers.\n\nHunch should incorporate serendipity.
