The "Introduction to Functional Programming in OCaml" MOOC announced in
July will start in a month, on October 19th.

We are quite happy to see that there are now almost 1500 registrations for
the course, and we would like to ask for a little help in disseminating the
course even further, as it is well known that a large user base makes the
learning process more effective in a MOOC.

To help in this dissemination, an online version of the synthetic flyer
distributed at ICFP with all the course information is now available: you
can print it and post it on any billboard you may see fit

All the information on the course, including a teaser video, is also
available at


https://www.france-universite-numerique-mooc.fr/courses/parisdiderot/56002/session01/about

The course is in english, but we are investigating the possibility of
having subtitles in multiple languages on the platform used for the MOOC.
There are 43 video sequences, with durations ranging from 4 minutes to 15
minutes.  Contact me if you are willing to help in translating the
subtitles in other languages (use the Subject : OCaml MOOC subtitles), and
we'll see if there is the needed critical mass to set up this process.

And if any of you, experienced OCamlers, wants to register to lend a hand
in the forums every now and then, do not hesitate!
