 Hello and welcome to AllVersity. I'm Shane and I'm going to introduce you to the project. So we get this question around here a lot. What is AllVersity? Well it's a global collaborative and as an educational platform. It's based around the belief that everybody in the world deserves free access to a great education, especially the world's poor. And so to do this we're building a website and it's one part online academy and one part digital textbook. Let's take a look at the course navigator page and here is where students are going to find and sign up for courses. You can see here that we're building AllVersity for everyone. So you're going to find lessons in everything from personal finance to internal health and from physics to development economics. Let's take a look at a course maybe this one right here. This is a really interesting history course that we're working on. You can see here that it's laid out just like a syllabus that tracks students progress. Student performance is then followed up here on this bar at the top. And to the right you can see you can download the course and carry it to places with no internet where it can then be used offline. But we scroll down and check out one of my favorite lessons. It's about Marco Polo and the Silk Road. You can see here that each lesson begins with a short lecture video and then students can go on and check their understanding by answering some quiz questions like this one. Students can also answer review questions which are basically just sort of essay questions. It's supposed to test the students' ability to write and perform critical thinking. Then they can take a look at a summary of the lesson. They can maybe read a text about the topic like this one. They can check out web links that will lead them to other corners of the web. These things are all being called lesson elements, all this stuff to the left here. And they are designed to strengthen students' multiple intelligences and cater to different learning styles. They're also meant to give teachers a wide set of tools to build effective lessons. There are also real-life example videos of people using something from the lesson in a real or realistic situation. And then our students are also meant to get up and do things, so we have individual and group activities. Students will also be able to participate in social and collaborative learning with our Ask a Question feature. This allows students from everywhere to ask and answer each other's questions. All this is being assembled by teams from around the world and the courses are being built using a streamlined version of backward design, which has been a leading theory in education for some time now. We often get asked, why are you doing this? The answer is simple. It's because we believe in the potential of our students and we want them to be able to make the most of it. We have lived and we've traveled and we've studied in other corners of the world and we have seen people in those places working really hard for a good life and a good education, but not always being able to attain that. With the web we know we can jump over a lot of the traditional barriers that have stopped people from having those things, so join us and be a part of making education truly for all.
