Rutgers was planning to offer a "Future of Humankind" course via Coursera, but I received this announcement today:
"Hello Future of Humankind registrants,
It is with great sadness, that we must inform you that due to the untimely death of James Martin, we will be unable to offer the Future of Humankind course as had originally been planned. Rutgers University is interested in developing similar course material, and we will keep you abreast of any updates with developments in our courses.
Thank you for your understanding,
The Future of Humankind Course Staff"
Average Coursera offerings are in tens of thousands, and this might be a chance to make a large impact. Proper contacts with Rutgers could be easily established, I also have some direct contacts at Coursera.
Sorry, social question, if you're at Smith College, are you the one who gives presentations about future lifestyles or alien races at ConBust every year?
