You've been dying to take the MIT Media Lab course on creative learning, but you're not in Cambridge? Despair no more. We invite you to join the course right here, on the interwebs. It's free of charge and we hope you'll like it.
Whilst it is free of charge, there seem to be an awful lot of texts etc. that need to be bought to support the learning and the activities. It's not really very clear if that is expected or not.
Bruce, I have also visited the site and from what I understand from the short welcome video, the program is opened to suggestions. So, what areas do you expect the syllabus to also cover and what can be done to improve the quality of course.
For the reading text for the program, the pages are provided in google doc, so you need to buy those materials.

Cynthia, many thanks for this

That said, the syllabus does look great
