Dear Sumit Wadhwa,
Welcome to the first day of class for Developing Innovative Ideas for New Companies with Coursera and the University of Maryland. We’re excited that you’re one of 80,000 students joining us worldwide in this dynamic opportunity to develop your entrepreneurial mindset and skill sets in order to develop new ventures.
Using proven content, methods, and models for new venture opportunity assessment and analysis, you will learn how to identify and analyze entrepreneurial opportunities. Value propositions, customer segments, strategic alliances, and business modeling are core elements taught in the course. The initial steps to creating a business plan, and raising financial capital to launch the firm, are examined as well.
Our format will consist of 4 to 6 video lectures per week, typically of 8 to 12 minutes per video. Interspersed within each video are one question mini-quizzes to reinforce key principles and provided added insights for you. At the end of each week, there is an assessment activity that will provide you with opportunities to integrate and apply learnings from that week’s content. A new week of lectures and assignments will become live each Monday.
Grading methods are a combination of automated assessments (in the first few weeks) and peer graded assessments (in the later weeks). Assignments also build in complexity. The first few are intended to get you oriented to the topic and format, and the later assignments will require further analysis and integration.
We are learning as we go as well with this new experience and format. Please post your feedback in the discussion boards and vote on the items that you believe are most important. This has already let us know to turn up the volume on our lecture recordings (which you will see after the first few lectures) and to adjust a few of our grading algorithms. We are all co-creating this experience as we advance throughout the course. We are excited to start with so many students and hope to finish with an equally impressive number of you successfully completing the course.
Our goal is to demystify the startup process, and to help you build the skills to identify and act on innovative opportunities now, and in the future. Our course will be very practical and applicable to entrepreneurial ideas that you have now, and in the future. Thank you for joining us and we look forward to working with you over the coming weeks.
Sincerely,
James
