Harvard And MIT Join Forces To Become Juggernaut Of Free Online Education
May 15, 2012 by alikat.
“(singularityhub.com)– Online education is witnessing its own Avengers-like uniting of superhero forces as Harvard University and MIT recently announced “edX”, a combined $60 million joint initiative to offer their college-level courses online for free. Launching in the fall of 2012, edX is a not-for-profit organization formed by the two universities to bring each institution’s free online course offerings to a broader global audience.
Courses will be delivered through the open source MITx platform in development to host courses that were previously part of the OpenCourseWare program.” read more

For motivation, live to learn, not to win
May 15, 2012 by alikat.
“(futurity.org)– Stanford (US) — A new study, published online in the journal Motivation and Emotion, says being in an environment that emphasizes learning for learning’s sake will dampen concerns about outperforming others and enhance intrinsic motivation even after one returns to a culture that places more value on demonstrating skills than developing them.” read more

Meet Silk, the Semantic Web for the rest of us
May 10, 2012 by alikat.
“(gigaom.com)– Almost since Tim Berners-Lee first came up with the original concept of the web, there’s been a new, improved version on the horizon: the much-promised Semantic Web. This, goes the thinking, is a way to make the online world more useful by categorizing everything on a page with a layer of extra information — data that can tell your browser that one particular series of numbers is a date, say, while another is a price. This, in turn, allows your computer to understand more about the information it processes, theoretically making it easier to identify events on the date you’re looking for, or items at the price you’ve chosen.
It’s an ambition that has been chased by many folk over the years — and yet, for all the effort to bring the Semantic Web to life, the reality of the situation is that it feels like an always-just-out-of-reach dream… something talked about and hoped for, but never achieved. The truth is that while some small amounts of progress have been made, we’re still a long way from reaching that vision.
Or are we?
Silk, an application coming out of private beta on Thursday, has a grand ambition to build a version of the Semantic Web that we can all use.” read more

Breakthrough Material Could Turn Your T-Shirt Into A Touchscreen Panel
May 4, 2012 by alikat.
“(psfk.com)– A team of researchers from the University of Exeter have created a revolutionary material adapted from graphene. The innovation called ‘GraphExeter’ is only one-atom thick and is claiming to be “the most transparent, lightweight and flexible material ever for conducting electricity.” The material can be sandwiched between non-electrical objects and turn them into devices. What this essentially means is that a t-shirt can be embedded with a touchscreen MP3 player, or the sleeve of a jacket contains a digital watch. The possibilities are endless for wearable electronics.” read more

New venture aims to mine near-Earth asteroids
April 25, 2012 by alikat.
“(washingtonpost.com)– Asteroids have made people nervous for several decades now, ever since scientists declared that a large object from space smashed into Earth 65 million years ago and put the kibosh on the Age of Dinosaurs. But now some entrepreneurs and tech tycoons are declaring that there’s money in those space rocks.
Don’t fear them, they say. Mine them.” read more
