-You have probably landed here becase you have a nagging feeling that something about the way modern science is conducted and shared is not quite right. This module will hopefully shed some light on those feelings, and help you to understand the state of the present system, and its discord within intrinsic human and scientific values and principles. This is the start of your own journey to become an *awesome* researcher and a *champion* in your field.

+Welcome to your first task, probably, of the Open Science MOOC! What we *don't* want here is to create something were you sit in front of a screen, basically being lectured like you do at high school or university. We want you to create, to learn, to build, both as an individual and as part of a boundless community. We want to help you to sculpt your own path in research, and tell your own story and use that story to inspire and guide others.
+
+In order to help this, we are going to try something that hasn't really been done before. This MOOC is entirely built on a dynamic 'open source' process, with everything in the open and available to contribution from everyone. We would like you to be part of that.
+
+Throughout these tasks, we will help you to directly create and edit content that becomes part of this MOOC and its companion website. What you do from here on out will directly influence the learning of all individuals who come here in the future. Our job is to guide you in this process, and help you to realise that what you are doing is valuable, to yourself and others.

+A lot of people think RStudio is just for writing complex scripts for statistical analysis. Wrooooong. It can also be used to write nicely formatted text documents, using something called markdown. Much of this MOOC was written in markdown, and look how nice it all looks!
