Free online course about Group Decision Making - anyone want to do it and form a Loomio Community study group?

If you'd like to join our study group, please join this subgroup. Everyone is welcome!
There's a free online class from Coursera called Making Better Group Decisions: Voting, Judgement Aggregation and Fair Division, which I have signed up for.
Since by definition many people in the Loomio community are interested in this topic, I was wondering if anyone else might want to sign up and we could host a studygroup here on Loomio, which other people who aren't able to take the course could also learn from.
Details: Starts 25 August, goes for 7 weeks, requires 1-3 hours/week of study time. The instructor is Eric Pacult of the University of Maryland.
EDIT: There's a bunch of people interested (yay!) so I'll set up a subgroup for us before the course begins and we can use it for our study group. If you're interested, go ahead and sign up for the course and make yourself known in this thread so I know to add you.

That course looks interesting @quentingrimaud but it's not currently scheduled.
@wadeschuette the course does not require any specialist knowledge and I don't think it will be highly technical. We can use the content as a jumping off point to talk about whatever we want! Also, I'm not afraid of a little math ;) I think it will be fun and interesting just to try it.

I am very scared of mathematics, but would still love to be involved. I'm currently doing this MOOC on the psychology of negotiating the commons which is a little similar: http://www.mooc-list.com/course/psychology-negotiations-leuphana
Anyone who is interested can jump on and view it as an observer

This is not "the answer" but it's a link that might describe the kind of course we are really looking for. Or maybe not. Anyway, for consideration:

If that's what people are looking for we can search more specifically for that sort of thing.
