Our hypothesis was the pedagogy and assignments of the DS106 open course could be modified for delivery on a corporate intranet, using internal creation and communication tools standard for 3M employees. We hoped to learn how the course experience could work within cultural and technological constraints of a corporate environment.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">Lockridge, R., Levine, A &amp;\u00a0Funes, M.
