Answer 7

How do you people find this stuff?

Answer 8

It was in the email, and in that yellow box :)

Answer 9

I didn't get the e-mail, but I saw the yellow box after I saw people on chat talking about it.

Answer 10

What yellow box?
And yeah I didn't get an email either.

Answer 11

The yellow box that comes on the home-screen of any subject.

Answer 12

Oh the right-hand-side ^

Answer 13

Oh I ignored that yellow box. Okay. Thanks. You guys are so observant. I hope to learn from you guys.

Answer 14

I'm curious about these too. I also wonder if the team is familiar with Mozilla's OpenBadges project (I imagine they are) and if so, if there are any plans to integrate with that.

Answer 15

What is the OpenBadges project? Sounds most interesting

Answer 16

http://openbadges.org/en-US/

For more in-depth reading, here is a whitepaper they wrote about it: https://wiki.mozilla.org/images/5/59/OpenBadges-Working-Paper_012312.pdf

Answer 17

Yeah, I'd love it if they'd instead make use of Mozilla's open badges instead of us having to pay $50 for certificates - which I really don't get will come from.

Answer 18

I've read about this 'certificate' thing and I'm also curious to know more about it.

Answer 19

Folks, glad to see so many questions around this. Yes, we will be offering certificates related to OpenCourseWare courses. Since we will be performing assessments to go with that, we have to charge for that. Yes, we know about Mozilla OpenBadges and love them dearly. We are working with them as well. All good feedback. Keep it coming.

Answer 20

50 dollars; too much for Indians. :|
Are we receiving them? I wish.

Answer 21

We may work something out. This is a concept check. And thanks for the feedback. We promise to rethink the $$.
