Manage Projects For Free With Wunderlist For iPad [iOS Tips Keeping your projects organized is hard; whether they’re for home, school, or work, projects tend to take on a life of their own. A good task manager can be essential to keeping the project moving, on time, and with a minimum of stress. wunderlist is available for the iPad, is free, and has some great features to boot, making it an obvious choice for many of us who need to manage our projects better.

The Inbox has tutorial tasks set up in it already to show you the ropes. Tap the first task in the list, “Tap to edit me.” The Edit Tasks window will show up, allowing you to tap through and rename the item, add a Note, Due Date, or Reminder to the item, toggle the Priority label, and put it in a list. Add new tasks with a tap on the Add a new task input field at the top, or by tapping on the plus icon in the upper right. Related

Organize Your Work Days by Theme I really don't know how Jack Dorsey does it. He's currently managing two fast-growing tech companies — Twitter and Square. He apparently spends eight hours at each firm every day and he says the only way to juggle two companies is to "be very disciplined." He also themes his 16-hour days. Here's what his schedule is like, according to CNN: Monday: Management meetings and "running the company" workTuesday: Product developmentWednesday: Marketing, communications, and growthThursday: Developers and partnershipsFriday: The company and its cultureSaturday: HikingSunday: Reflection, feedback, and strategy I actually think Jack's "theme your days" idea is a good one, and I think I'm going to start implementing a slight variation of that strategy at work.

Learning to learn at university: Edinburgh Napier University staff conference, June 2010 Supporting modules with YouTube Brian Davison, School of Computing The Internet can be a source of excellent teaching material but one of the main issues is how to filter out the huge quantities of useless noise. Internet video is no exception - witness the many hundreds of "funny animal" clips on YouTube. By setting up your own channel, however, you can select only the videos that are relevant to your module and make them available in the form of playlists to your students. This session illustrates this approach with three different modules from the School of Computing and briefly summarises the steps required to set up a channel. Making selected video material available to students in this way extends their options for learning. Extending student learning by combining the strengths of social media sites and the University’s virtual learning environment Kris Madden, John Morrison and Tom Flint, School of Computing Further infor Further information

Springpad MOOC: bienvenue au Far West L’effervescence qui entoure actuellement les MOOC conduit de nombreux acteurs privés et publics à se positionner sur ce terrain, chacun à sa manière. Certains recherchent de la visibilité, d’autres un modèle économique, ou même les deux. Pour illustrer les modèles économiques, les intentions et les manières de fonctionner des uns et des autres, je vous propose une métaphore qui est souvent utilisée dans le contexte d’émergence de niches économiques : la ruée vers l’or. Tout commence au moment où les pionniers Andrew Ng et Sebastian Thrun lancent leurs premiers MOOC d’intelligence artificielle en novembre 2011. 150.000 personnes s’inscrivent : le filon a été découvert, il faut maintenant l’exploiter. Udacity: la compagnie minière Très rapidement après la fondation d’Udacity et de Coursera apparaît edX, consortium public à but non lucratif (ou en tout cas en principe) mené par le MIT et Harvard. Rapidement après la découverte des premiers filons commence la véritable ruée vers l’or.
