What the abstract for this talk doesn’t mention is that this “new data-analytics driven audience response system” is a for-profit website built by a start-up that Mazur founded and recently sold to Pearson for c. 5-10 million dollars, while he remains involved as a consultant.
In short, it’s a product he’s trying to sell us.
