The Great Birthday Escape! with Maky the Lemur Center mascot as Avion the Lemur.
A dramatic reenactment of the lemur escape on May 24, 2013, as reported in the WRAL evening news, with actual footage of the lemur's rescue.

On Friday, May 24, Avior, a free-ranging red ruffed lemur, celebrated his 5th birthday. As a birthday present, he decided to leave the Lemur Center for a stroll through a leafy Durham neighborhood. Avior was recovered later that afternoon when a local homeowner successfully trapped the lemur in his garage and called the Duke Lemur Center. Avior was a little scared but healthy and unharmed thankfully.

Local news WRAL covered the story in the evening news, which is available on their website wral.com/news/local/video/12483075/#/vid­12483075. WRAL also got the lemur's name wrong; they called him Avion.

MOOCs and other forays into online learning are not only changing Duke by the fact that they are being offered, they are also spurring conversations about teaching innovation and curricular innovation more broadly at Duke. Conversations are being held that would not have been able to be held even a year ago, instigated by Duke's involvement in Coursera and Semester Online/2U -- conversations about credit, quality, the student experience, what is learning and how do we "certify" it, the connection of external experience to the classroom, the role of the professor in guiding student learning, the connection of the broader community to the Duke classroom and more. What does Duke of the next few years look like? What changes can be foreseen, and which are too fuzzy to anticipate?

Susan Lozier, chair of the Advisory Committee for Online Education (ACOE) and the Academic Council, and Professor of Ocean Sciences in the Nicholas School; David Bell, chair of Trinity College's Online Learning Advisory Committee (OLAC), Professor of Romance Studies, and soon-to-be interim director of FHI; and Keith Whitfield, Vice Provost for Academic Affairs, presented and took questions on these topics.
