Subject: Introduction to Astronomy course now enrolling
To:


Hi there IntroAstro,

A few months ago I wrote to inform you that I would no longer be offering Introduction to Astronomy on Coursera. I am happy to tell you now that Duke University is offering the course again for free on Duke Extend, a new platform the university has launched for open online courses. The new session of Introduction to Astronomy starts November 28, and you can learn more and register at https://extend.duke.edu/courses/course-v1:DukeExtend+introastro+2016-2017/about?utm_source=courseraemailist&utm_campaign=new_course102516&utm_medium=email

The class, in essentially the same form as you experienced it, will be offered to a limited number of students. In fact, our class will be used in a pilot test of the Duke Extend system. More courses with larger enrollments are expected to follow, including hopefully more iterations of IntroAstro. This is an exciting opportunity for us to continue the course and help develop new ways for Duke to reach learners around the world.

I look forward to meeting some of you there.

Ronen

Hope that the forthcoming assignments might play a role in infusing
some life back into this group!

I had begun the course back when it was offered on Coursera. I have
some of the video lectures from that edition of the course. If anyone
is interested drop me a mail off-list and I'll transfer to one of you.

I certainly can't email them - they're on a machine in IISc, and I'm
not in IISc.
I have sent you an email with instructions to access them from my
machine over the IISc LAN.
