PLEASE NOTE: This course has been actively moderated for its first 3 runs by the educators. It is now continuously open albeit without active moderation. Nonetheless, active interaction among learners remains an important feature in the course and we very much encourage you to engage and share your thoughts, experiences and expertise as this is a fundamental aspect of peer-to-peer learning with Online Courses. We, at least, have learnt a lot from our learners!
