"Dhawal Shah Oct 15, 2014 Coursera is an education platform that partners with top universities and organizations worldwide to offer courses online for free. It was started by two Stanford professors in late 2011. In less than three years it has reached 10 million students around the world and raised $85 million in venture capital. Why have VCs invested so much money in the company? How does offering free online courses generate revenue? Many have asked, so we examined Coursera's different monetization models and offer estimates based on some known numbers. "

"Published on Nov 28, 2014 For someone who has no idea how to caption a video this might be a bit confusing. I'm not sure. (Ask otherwise). But I thought I'll upload it anyway. (What I could have explained in the video is that numer 5-7 are how to make captions that are IN youtube, which aren't permanently on the screen. And you press a button in the bottom right corner of the video to turn them on. But I kind of assumed that everyone knew that when making the video. However having shown this to my confused little brother I realize that's not always the case). (OR just watch Paul Talks video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_H57r... ) 1. Handheld written captions. 2. Scanned written text. 3. Text added when editing. 4. "Upload a file" 5. Write a script. 6. Write new captions as you're watching the video. 7. Automatic Captions.

Divagazioni intorno all'attività di sottotitolazione #edmu14 descritta in http://iamarf.org/2014/11/16/un-podcast-per-iniziare-editing-multimediale-edmu14/ - e a cosa implica rendere le cose davvero accessibili.

"...Il programma 1 prevede che ciascun partecipante pubblichi in piattaforma un abstract che riassuma ciascuna attività. L'abstract deve essere al massimo di 1000 parole. Quindi chiedo a tutti di redigere un abstract che sintetizzi tutto quello che è stato fatto nell'ambito o al margine dell'attività di sottotitolazione e di pubblicarlo in piattaforma. Lucia vi aiuterà per i dettagli. Ovviamente, coloro che non hanno ancora completato l'attività procrastineranno la scrittura dell'abstract al tempo adeguato. ..."

"...Ognuno di voi, una volta entrato nel link qui sotto e giunto all'editore dei sottotitoli, come spiegato nel tutorial precedente, dovrà far scorrere in baso i sottotitoli, individuando l'ultimo, posizionarvi il cursore, e poi far partire li video con il comando "tab". Arrivato alla fine dell'ultimo sottotitolo già redatto, iniziare a scrivere i propri, come mostrato nel tutorial, per un periodo di circa 30-40 secondi. Non importa essere precisi. Aggiusteremo dopo.

"[Index] Note: The index above has been obtained by assigning header title styles to the plain headers of the original PDF files of the three versions of the Translator agreement. In the following table, the content of the three versions has been split sentence by sentence, and sometimes in shorter units, for easier comparison."

New Translator agreement. The PDF is actually dated Oct. 3, 2014 in the properties. Archived in http://www.webcitation.org/6TfKOJHBY on 2014-10-28 The https://d396qusza40orc.cloudfront.net/translations%2FCoursera%20Translator%20TOS.pdf of its former one now says AccesDenied in a chunk of XML. However its changing versions were archived - in http://www.webcitation.org/6SttqGNYz on 2014-09-27 - in http://www.webcitation.org/6SSA3w3F7 on 2014-09-06 - in http://www.webcitation.org/6PS41wkK8 on 2014-05-09

The updated version is even more disadvantageous for GTC volunteers, in that it does not mention the "goog and valuable consideration" that Coursera was to provide in exchange for translation work.

Example + comment: "This language is designed to grab all rights from a free-lance author or artist. The first clause purports to create a work for hire agreement, which would mean that the author has no rights left at all, ever (and cannot even get them back through the termination right). The second clause takes a belt-and-suspenders approach: if for any reason the work is not for hire -- which it would not be if the commissioned work did not fall within the statutory categories -- the author explicitly assigns all rights not only in this work, but in any work based on this work, for the full term of copyright, for the whole world."

The example is very close to the language of https://d396qusza40orc.cloudfront.net/translations%2FCoursera%20Translator%20TOS.pdf

Soprattutto interessante per le risorse.

"If there is no signed written agreement, then the work isn't for hire, and you start out with all the rights. If there is a written agreement, it should be entered into before you create the work. Beware of after-the-fact attempts to take away your rights by calling the work "for hire," for example by sending you a check whose endorsement line says that your signature is your agreement that the work was for hire."

January 9, 2013 by Jeffrey R. Young "...Setting the Price The company also revealed more details about how it would award certificates and how much it would charge for them. Students who want a verified certificate will have to decide early in the course and pay upfront. Paying that fee will put students on what the company is calling the "Signature Track." The company and colleges are still struggling to decide what to charge for the certificates, though in its latest announcement Coursera said the price would run $30 to $100. "It's a huge decision: You're essentially setting a market," said Daphne Koller, a co-founder of Coursera, in an interview this week with The Chronicle. "No one has ever priced this before." Officials also stressed that they would offer financial aid to students who demonstrated that they could not afford the fees but could benefit from the verified certificates. Ms. Koller said Coursera would continue to offer free unofficial certificates to students who passed some of its courses. So why would someone pay for the verified certificates? Peter Lange, provost at Duke University, which plans to offer one of the courses in the new pilot, said each free certificate would have a clear disclaimer on it: "It says something to the effect of, We cannot vouch that the person who got this document took the course or did the work." The new Signature Track could mean serious revenue for Coursera, and for the 33 partner colleges that will get a cut of it. Exactly how the colleges will divide that revenue is still being worked out, it seems. Mr. Lange said the question was on the agenda at the next monthly meeting of Duke's Advisory Committee on Online Education." So, when Coursera staff offered free Statements of Accomplishment as "Recognition" to the volunteers of the Global Translator community, they did so in full awareness of their lack of value and of the mentioned disclaimer

"August 5, 2012 by Tony Bates TED Talks: Daphne Koller: What we're learning from online education Daphne Koller, one of the two founders of Coursera, describes some of the key features of the Coursera MOOCs, and the lessons she has learned to date about teaching and learning from these courses. The video is well worth watching, just for this. However I'm probably going to suffer the same kind of fate of the Russian female punk band, Pussy Riot, by spitting on the altar of MOOCs, but this TED talk captures for me all that is both right and wrong about the MOOCs being promoted by the elite US universities. Let me start by saying that I actually applaud Daphne Koller and her colleagues for developing massive open online MOOCs. Any attempt to make the knowledge of some of the world's leading experts available to anyone free of charge is an excellent endeavour. If only it stopped there. What I object to is the hubris and misleading claims that are evident in this TED video. As someone once said about one of Sigmund Freud's lectures, what is new is not true, and what is true is not new."
