I don't think so - though I recall that they once measured the total
weight of the participants to give a value for the massiveness of the
course.
ds106 weighs 3154363.9kg , to date.
I'll refrain from asking what you contributed to that figure! :)

Hi David,
I may have heard you mention ds106 one or twice ;) I think a post about
your experience of participating in the course as a student would be
very interesting indeed.
Also do you know if any work has been done on the demographics and
educational background of ds106 participants?
Cheers
Lorna

Linked but tangential... I've been involved in #ds106 for a number of
iterations for nearly 2 years now, and I always think I talk about it all
the time. But I've never written anything about my student experience on
the course - would people be interested if I did?

Hi there,
Thanks for this post Andy, always interesting to hear first hand
experience of participation in MOOCs.
And Pat, yes I'd be very interested to see a demographic break down of
the people engaging with various online courses. Does anyone know if
there's been any analysis of this kind undertaken?
Cheers
Lorna

Subject: Coursera
I spotted the news story below on the Facebook page of an educator:
UK university joins US online partnership
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/education-18857999
I'd not heard of Coursera before, but I'm sure folk on here have. Do you
have any opinions/musings/info that can be shared? The story says that
it's a descendant of MITx which has been mentioned on this list.
