Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic. Arthur C. Clarke. March 22, 2012. The demand for residential liberal arts colleges. My previous post made mention of the astronomical cost of an education at a liberal arts institution. I estimated that in a few years we would be able to support at most 75 such schools. Based on data presented in For Have-Nots, the Rockier Road to a College Degree Increases the Appeal of Alternatives. MOOCs and the Future of the Liberal Arts.

Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic. Arthur C. Clarke. July 7, 2010. The great Voices upgrade of 2010. This change should open up a world of plugins for MS installations that MU installs could not really count on. It also is a huge undertaking since we have been running 2.8.6 for the past year. I just want to document the steps I’m taking on the test server for upgrading from 2.8.6 to 3.0. Disable BP Events plugin (breaks when upgrading to 2.9.2 with white screen). Disabl...

Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic. Arthur C. Clarke. March 24, 2009. What should education look like in the 21st century? Why would one ask this question? I ask it because I was reading about AcademicEarth. AcademicEarth is just another in a long line of tools that are making it easier for people to educate themselves. iTunes U.

Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic. Arthur C. Clarke. September 13, 2012. I’ve been playing around with adding support for different color styles to the Genesis Treacle theme. This is in anticipation of changing up the design of The Pedestal Group. I’m making use of. Introduced in version 1.8 of Genesis. One simply has to add. Add theme support( 'genesis-style-selector', array( 'treacle-plum' = 'Plum' ) );. Comments Off on New look.

iPad! What is it good for?
http://jon.breitenbucher.net/ipad-what-is-it-good-for
Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic. Arthur C. Clarke. September 4, 2010. What is it good for? I also struggled with just how one would produce content on the iPad. There are a few apps, such as Brushes. That seem to make great use of the multi-touch, but that list is pretty short when you focus on apps that could be used for education. Katie Stansberry gives a list of a few. I know Apple is selling them like mad. Stanford Medical School is on that list so maybe my former...
