Nice article in today’s SF Chronicle about Rich Muller’s Physics for Future Presidents course available on Google Video.
Here’s another interesting tidbit: the first lecture of his course has 175 ratings.
There’s an earlier article about Muller’s online course in the UC Berkeley news with lots more great letters from around the world.
It’s nice to finally have an article focus on the positive aspect of open access online video for worldwide teaching.
OK, poetry’s outta my system for a bit. Back to software. (May they inspire each other)…
When I last threw out some ideas about online media captioning there was a lot of interest. Must be onto something.
I owe the dotSUB folks a piece of video to get the ball rolling. I’m also happy that folks from two different schools (PSU, NC State) commented that they’d like to get in on this collaboratively and find some funding.
Meanwhile, I re-discovered the BBC’s Annotatable Audio project. Similar concept in terms of Wiki-style annotations to help others find segments. I wonder if this project ever got put into production. Either way, more food for thought.
The captioning idea could be succesful because it has a distinct annotation goal (transcript, captioning, translation) and interface pre-segments. Let’s keep this one going.
Spoonful of noodles
oods
oops!
spilled some.
Your made bed
must be slept in
so take my cake
I sing on tip top
unconditionally
for you matter
over my mind
Never Never
the tit milk for
tat tears spilt
over the honey
Land lunar our
steps even small
ones leap like a
kind man greater
when we’re whole
than apart some.
