Some intriguing thoughts here but ultimately I'm not supporting (also, I don't like Wilco). "Should we allow educators to have one course that they completely mess with? That is unmade from the convention?" asks Martin Weller. I commented, "They can already do this. I've been doing it my entire career. You don't need permission to offer a course. But if what is meant here is a course that students are required to take, the answer is no. You can't experiment on people without their consent, and in many cases, consent is impossible or impractical to give, especially in a teacher-student power relation."
