Coffee and Discussions on Safety, Philosophy, Religion, and Art

What do you want to discuss over a good cup of coffee? Here is where you can do that. But sometimes an old crusty master sergeant and professor wants to have his way.

Your class

Do you think your class is the best course ever? Do you think you are the best instructor in academia and offer the best?
I don't believe it.
Do you want to see an increase student enrollment? Do you want to influence students to think school XYZCC?
I don't believe it.
Ok, I will believe it only if you are willing to MOOC your course for one semester.
Does not have to be a full class, just one section to give a student a taste of what going to college is like.
MOOCs are tools to do research, carry a project out to the community and the world, build a relationship with the community, and so much more.
But you can wuss out. "It's not my job to sell the school." "I don't want to share." That's ok. I understand, it isn't about the love of teaching.
