 The learning approach is designed to potentially support many users (with a potential of 10-15 million), so all problems (including knowledge checks) must be completely automated. There are no plans to use cohorts, discussions, or anything else requiring human instructors (because that doesn’t scale well). In most cases the knowledge checks are 1-2 multiple choice questions.

 Note that edX requires groupings at 3 levels: Sections, Subsections, and Units. Only Units (level 3) can have content.  We represent this in the material below as follows:  A “Heading 1” represents the beginning of a Section and contains ONLY sequences beginning with “Heading 2” (no text). A “Heading 2” represents the beginning of a Subsection and contains ONLY sequences beginning with “Heading 3”. A “Heading 3” represents the beginning of a Unit and contains all content. A Heading 3 cannot be directly contained within a Heading 1. Heading 4 (and below) are used freely within a Unit.
