Unscramble the Blue Letters


Finally, teaching, what about teaching? Well, teaching is at the heart of learning. Teaching is the inspiration and the connection. It is the srapk that connects the learner to the information.

So there's nothing that we want to do to mess with that maigc. But we do know that teanhicg is one of the higher costs of eotcduain. So what do we do? We should take the most inspirational and engaging teahrces, and all that teaching charm that comes with it, and make bigger classrooms for them, scaling and expanding their reach. So most classes are 20 to 30 snuetdts, or in some cases, a colpue of hundred. But in online, you can reach thousands all around the world. We currently have a course called Human Relations and Administration. It's a foundational course for all undergraduate business majors. This course has upwards of 3,000 students from all over the world -- the US, Canada, Germany, India and the list just goes on and on. We also have csaelss that are upwards of 5,000, and we aspire to scale even more. We want it so that wherever you have an internet connection, you can put a virtual butt in a seat.
