There are a couple of wrinkles, though. First, Kieran Mathieson created this site for the MIS3050 course at Oakland University. Students in that course have accounts created for them, and get grading services that Kieran pays for. If you're not in that course, contact Kieran (kieran at skilling.us) if you want to get grading services. Or if you have other questions about the course.

Second, the lessons on this site are not static web pages, or PDFs. They're active, with pauses, reflections, quizzes, and other things.
