We did a Zoom session with Tom Malone.

Ferdi and Mark walked Tom through the Experience Strategy deck.

Here's Tom's feedback:

• What is the relationship with MIT Hive
• What is the cost in time for being engaged in MIT Open?
  • Some people will benefit (global learners)
  • Some will lose (faculty). Not interested in sharing their time. Want filters.
  • High value time should be packaged as media - podcasts, videos — for broad distribution.
• Experts want to "build their reputation."
• MIT students and faculty like exclusivity.
  • It means there’s easy access.
  • We don’t necessarily want to decrease the value of that exclusivity
• We need to show that content can come from anywhere.
  • It doesn’t have to be just MIT content.
• The alumna who misses MIT is a plausible scenario. She misses “Athens”
• The curator story is not plausible. 
  • Brian is not likely to be motivated to work for free.
  • Maybe we create scenarios where every student is asked to contribute their favorite content. 
  • Maybe a course team does the work
  • We should be clear that this work is done by a group of people, not just one person.
