Millions of Lessons Learned on Electronic Napkins [via Stephen Downes] is a candid, informative and well structured 36 minute joint presentation by Wernicke - who is the designer/teacher of Udacity's Introduction to Theoretical Computer Science course - and Loviscach - who is the designer/teacher of Udacity's Differential Equations in Action course. The presentation was given in Hamburg on 30 December 2012 at the Chaos Communication Congress (an annual conference on technology, society and utopia). The optimistic and clear abstract for Loviscach and Wernicke's session is well worth reading.
