Abstract


This paper gives an overview of the creative process and construction underlying the threecourse Coursera specialization Uncommon Sense Teaching, encompassing 16 hours of video and roughly 50 hours of total dedicated study time for students. In the year since its launch in September of 2022, this specialization has received a 5.0 out of 5.0 rating with 119 reviews and over 2,300 enrollees, attesting to learner satisfaction with the quality of the instruction. Careful planning and attention to detail were behind the success—this paper gives an overview of the specialization’s planning, creative, and implementation processes, including a discussion of costs.
