Well I decided that this course would be quite interesting and perhaps offer some new ideas to add to my physiology classes. The first problem is that one of the questions in the first problem set it incorrect. Several students posted to the discussion area regarding this but I haven't gone back to see if it has been corrected. This is the same problem that I'm having using the online resources from the same publisher.
I got it the first day - worked a bit and have peeked in here and there- they now have added a "signature tract" - Signature Track which certifies your success in this course. The
Signature track adds authenticity to your accomplishments by linking
your real identity to your Duke Coursera course work. To learn more
about the Signature Track, visit the Signature Track Guidebook by

I haven't done that yet, I'm not sure I'll have time to take the tests, but may check it out just to see how it works.
So, it's the end of the second week and I finally got a chance to pop back in - I just don't have time to watch all the lectures - I watched part of one the first day but need to revisit those again. - They have done those pretty well - with the longest one so far being 24 minutes - I didn't really evaluate them for mulitmedia correctness- just read about that again.
Okay, just checked it out - there is a cost - it's usually $89 for this one but is $49 - probably won't do it but that's not a bad price for credentialing.
