Let's teach the world
The disruption to daily life caused by the global COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted many aspects of our daily lives. Education, in particular, has been hit hard, with systemic education for all age groups having to go online for at least a few months, maybe longer.
I’m no stranger to the online education domain. Back in 2012, I launched the first ever mathematics Massively Open Online Course (MOOC), part of the wave of such courses coming out of Stanford University: Introduction to Mathematical Thinking . I ran that ten-week course for several years, offering two sessions a year on the Coursera platform, itself a spin-off company from Stanford. Participants back then numbered in the tens of thousands, spread all across the Globe.
