I am told from Budapest meeting this is wanted but since the relevant part of the conversation went on in Bangladeshi, it is necessary to check

If Sir Fazle does want 30 minute action presentation on how to MOOC, .I would suggest items below plus any questions he wants to ask

If you see elements of this presentation which you yourself want more debate on please say

==============================================

MOOC Recommendation to BRAC
1 Most basic skill of MOOC is presenting training in 10 minute module vitually- what?
2 Simplest case to study is Khan Academy – why know about KA & Coursera?
3 Two questions to ask to maximise BRAC value chain of mooc and whole internet
3.1 -what 10 minute modules do millions of youth most need to interact
3.2 How do the 10 minute modules link together in a whole course
4 Recommendation- start up a 10 million youth-training-outreach
Lab wherever you do social labs or lead bottom-up practices .( Software to
start lab to produce same training format as khan is only $300 per licence)
5 What BRAC brand can scale that no other partner network can? How to
linkin to post 2015 millennium goals summits that value open job creating
education as critical collaboration multiplier
6 Debate – these recommendations come from 42 years of
other way round experiments in online learning thanks to Norman Macrae's
lifetime editorial interest in this future. Expensive (top-down) professionals
will advise different starting points to MOOC. Depends how much you want to
always be in editorial control of your own training content and how nearly
free you want hundreds of millions of youth interactions to spread.
Is this the curriculum Bangladesh, Chinese and Japanese youth need most? your view s of most needed free curricula welcome!!

-------------------------------------------
FAST TRACK-Someone like Taddy Blecher could give sir fazle eg a telephone
briefing on that fom leading practioner viewpoint. Someone like Japan Ambassador could
reconvene meeting on above with sir fazle and quadir brother and other
Bangla open tech wizards. If chemistry is good between sir fazle and say paul
farmer then they could both discuss how to mooc free nursing college. If its
good with say soros they could include aflatoun in a financial and currency
literacy curriculum. Sir Fazle should brainstorm which partners to mooc what
youth practice networks on first
OPTIONAL ADDITION
A former first lady of s.africa used to call dhaka the open university of microcredit.
Why not: one day worked youth can call BRAC the open university of everything
Since 1972 we have assumed a race is going on for peoples to free education
with big brothers who want the exact opposite. Currently MOOC is the
most urgent freedom challenge any entrepreneurial revolutionary can collaborate
around-by celebrating this now the triad of japan, china, bangladesh could live
up to dad's 1970s published vision in The Economist of Asian region saving
worldwide youth 1975-2075. My guess is Jack Ma may be a critical connector of
this but we need bangladeshi open tech wizards to brainstorm who
