Re: [FRIAM] Fwd: Google Nose BETA

I am disappointed they chose to support the proprietary SMELLCD™ format - OpenAroma may be small, but it is growing, and since it is not limited to just a few brands of devices, I am confident it is the future of olfactory computing. -Arlo James Barnes ==

Wow! What an awesome course! It would be difficult to duplicate this intellectual experience in a traditional educational setting. Owen, thank you so much for bringing this major development to our attention. Bruce On Mon, Apr 1, 2013 at 10:38 AM, Owen Densmore wrote: > https://www.coursera.o

Re: [FRIAM] A Clockwork MOOC.

Terry - That was a good summary from your perspective. I'm sharing it with the mail list where the discussion arose. I found two of your points very poignant. The first being about the value/importance of developed rapport between student-mentor (or student-teacher or even student-institu

Ed, Cool --- and I think we are generally in agreement in this area as well - again, with the exception of how radical a solution is required. It is my belief that graduate students at Tier One research institutions like UNM are getting a pretty solid education, a professional network, and re

Ruth Chabay makes an important comment about the credit issue, one that hasn't come up in this discussion so far. As I said before, we went all the way through Udacity's CS 101 "course", which was excellent. After Ed correctly pointed out that this and the Udacity computer graphics "course" are not

Despite all this, we experience a very low fraction of unreadable DVDs from Netflix. Presumably DVD players vary in their ability to deal with flaws. Also, more and more we along with everyone else streams when possible, so the DVDs we order are often the less popular kind and so have not had a lot

Re: [FRIAM] mooc for credit?

That might work for a beginning computer course. I don't think it would work well in other fields. Also, a single credit is rarely of much use to a student and when students try to transfer credits, the usual process requires them to show there is an equivalent course at the college where they w
