Editor's Notes

- Keep complexity in the content not in the experience

- We take the principles of social media and thread them through our courses – profile pages, the ability to follow and reply directly to people, “like” comments and filter the mass of conversation.
- We train and support our partners to think beyond video recordings of lectures and to introduce storytelling and narrative to make learning enjoyable and effective.
