Former councilwoman Sally Hart
Petersen to run for Ward 2 seat
‘U’ class on AIDs adapted
for online course platform
Prof. hopes to
maintain campus
connection in new
settting
BY ISOBEL FUTTER
For the Daily
With an online platform
called Coursera, the University
is offering a popular class
on AIDS to more than 1,000
students around the world.
Through
Coursera,
universities across the globe
develop massive open online
courses,
or
MOOCs,
and
publish them for anyone to
take.
The
University
has
created 24 MOOCs over the
last three years, 18 of which are
currently running, including
the brand new course AIDS:
Fear and Hope.
The
course
is
an
interdisciplinary class on the
history, politics and social
implications
of
the
AIDS
epidemic. More than 1,100
people from all over the world
are currently enrolled in the
course, and enrollment remains
open for two more weeks.
For
the
class,
students
watch lectures posted in each
of the seven units, and then
take quizzes at the end of each
unit. If participants complete
the course, they receive a
certificate
of
completion.
Though
the
units
have
deadlines, students can work
at their own pace within the
course.
The AIDS online course
is based on a class offered
at
the
University,
taught
by American Culture Prof.
Richard
Meisler.
The
University’s Office of Digital
Education
and
Innovation,
which
is
responsible
for
creating MOOCs, works closely
with professors like Meisler
to
expand
and
transform
University courses into online
classes.
“I’ve
been
teaching
the
course on campus for years.
What I did was translate it
into this new format,” Meisler
said. “It’s an interesting new
development. It’s just started,
and from the very beginning,
we’ve had students from China,
Ukraine, Sweden, and so it’s
an interesting experiment in
making education available to a
wide range of people.”
James
Devaney,
assistant
vice provost of the DEI, said
selecting courses for MOOCs is
a challenging process.
“One of the reasons we
chose this course is that it has
enriched the lives of students
on campus for decades,” he
said. “So, we picked it because
we can deliver it to a massive
audience
to
enliven
the
discussion around AIDS, and
further student understanding
on the subject, which is really
exciting.”
The topic of AIDS resonates
deeply with Meisler. He said
he enjoys the multidisciplinary
aspect, and he stressed that the
crisis of AIDS can be viewed
through many different lenses.
“When AIDS first came
out, it was very frightening,
everybody was scared,” Meisler
said. “I just wanted to know
more about it. I’ve always been
interested in things that are
interdisciplinary with science,
social science and humanities.”
All of the course units
include
lectures
conducted
by Meisler, as well as papers
and articles on the epidemic.
Meisler
also
offers
videos,
many of which include his
interviews with people who
recount the original outbreak
in detail. Other videos show
politicians
discussing
their
approach to solving the AIDS
epidemic.
“There’s videos on testing,
politics and then some of the
most interesting sessions are
sessions in which people that
I
interview
remember
the
beginning of the epidemic in
Detroit, in Washington, in San
Juan, Puerto Rico and other
places.”
Though this is the first time
that the course has been offered
on Coursera, both Meisler and
the DEI have high expectations
for the course. Devaney said
the class is a helpful tool for
students at the University,
and encourages that they sign
up before the deadline in two
weeks.
“It has the potential to enrich
and enliven the discourse that’s
part of the class,” Devaney
said. “When you have multiple
thousands
of
participants
engaging in that course in the
MOOC, one will get access to
new and more diverse points of
view and multiple disciplines.
If we can learn from those
perspectives, there will be
interesting implications.”
Current rep. Jane
Lumm unsure if she
will pursue third
term in office
BY LARA MOEHLMAN
Daily Staff Reporter
After vacating her seat on
Ann Arbor City Council dur-
ing an unsuccessful attempt
at the 2014 mayoral race, Sally
Hart Petersen said she hopes to
regain a spot.
Peterson
pulled
petitions
from the city clerk’s office to
run as a Democrat in city’s
Ward 2 earlier this week. She
will have to gather signatures
from 100 voters to secure her
name on the August primary
ballot.
Petersen is running for the
seat of Councilmember Jane
Lumm (I–Ward 2). In an inter-
view with The Ann Arbor News
earlier this week, Lumm said
she said she would “most like-
ly” seek re-election this year.
Petersen
served
on
City
Council for two years as a
Democrat for the Second Ward
before losing to Christopher
Taylor in the mayoral race last
year. She plans to run for City
Council to continue working on
projects started during her pre-
vious terms.
“I still have so much unfin-
ished business I want to con-
tinue to work on,” she said in
an interview with The Michi-
gan Daily.
One
of
those
projects
involves economic develop-
ment for Ann Arbor.
“I feel very strongly that the
city needs to pursue a sustain-
able fiscal policy so that we
can stir more revenue in order
to pay for all of the wonderful
things that we want to do in our
community,” Petersen said.
Petersen said Ann Arbor’s
main revenue comes from
property taxes, so Ann Arbor
needs to focus on maintaining
and introducing more com-
panies and jobs to the city to
promote economic activity and
increase property tax values.
Peterson added that, as a
result of major budget cuts in
2009 and 2010, Ann Arbor’s
basic city services have suf-
fered.
“Now the economy is bet-
ter, but we need to increase
our bottom line so that we can
restore services to where they
were,” Petersen said.
Petersen
also
plans
to
improve relations between the
city of Ann Arbor and the Uni-
versity.
“There
is
this
pent-up
resentment among the city
and among the city’s residents
that the University of Michi-
gan doesn’t pay taxes, and we
have to provide all these ser-
vices to U of M employees and
students, for which they’re
not compensating the city,”
Petersen said.
However,
she
said
City
Council must put aside this
resentment and find ways to
collaborate with the Universi-
ty to promote job and company
growth in Ann Arbor.
Petersen, who is currently
chairwoman of Ann Arbor’s
Commission
on
Disability
Issues, said she also intends to
raise awareness on City Coun-
cil about issues faced by people
with disabilities.
Specifically, Petersen noted
that the current crosswalk
ordinance in Ann Arbor cre-
ates ambiguity and poses a
danger to residents with dis-
abilities. The local ordinance
states that drivers must stop
for pedestrians waiting on the
curb. However, because Uni-
versity police officers follow
state law, they can’t enforce the
ordinance.
“There’s
some
ambiguity
that, through better commu-
nication, the city and the Uni-
versity can help to resolve,” she
said.
