The class is a massive open online course (MOOC) and is administered through canvas.net - it's free to sign up and take the class! It's a four-week course starting on August 5.
The class was built to expect about two hours of engagement/interaction ("work") per week, so it's not meant to overload the participants with chores and duties. In that sense, it's less rigorous than my regular college classes. This course does not have a completion certificate - you'd be taking it just for the fun of it.
There aren't any papers or projects. While the class does offer quizzes and discussion boards, there isn't really a rigorous process to "pass" the course since there isn't a certificate offered anyway.
The class is, however, experimental in a different sense: it's gone game elements in it. We added badges and group competition, as well as Easter eggs, throughout the class. This should be fun!
