Democratic presidential candidate and former Maryland governor Martin O’Malley is struggling to poll above two percent in New Hampshire — the nation’s first primary state — but he presented a confident front at a speech with Dartmouth students and Upper Valley residents on Friday. “I know when a man stands before you with two percent national name recognition and tells you he’s running for president and it’s going well, that there’s a fine line between delusion and imagination,” O’Malley said on Friday. Judging by his Dartmouth following on social media,
The Top of the Hop was packed on Friday when presidential candidate Martin O’Malley (D) talked.

Faculty from Dartmouth, Harvard University, Colgate University and the University of Pennsylvania convened at the College last Friday to share their experiences with teaching massive open online courses in the humanities and to discuss what it means to teach the humanities to a global audience. The event, “Catalyzing
Community: A Humanities Symposium on Digital Learning and Education,” came out of a deep interest in learning how to improve online learning and pedagogies in the humanities, English professor James Dobson said in his opening remarks. The symposium featured six presentations with two question-and-answer sessions. Each speaker presented his or her own experiences with teaching MOOCs —
massive open online courses — in the humanities, highlighting the approaches which did and did not work well and what they have learned from teaching an online course that they can apply to the residential classroom. Music professor Steve Swayne and English professor Donald Pease also spoke at the event. SEE MOOCS PAGE 3
