The brain is such a remarkable organ. Human life begins as a single cell. Then, nine months later an infant is born with a wonderful nervous system that contains about 100 billion nerve cells. The nerve cells that handle information processing is a neuron. Resource Center Learner topics Capture enables you to view CaptureCast presentations as part of course content.

Edu App Center - Basics - Introduction The main thing with LTI™ is the identity assertion. LTI is a way for one system (the tool consumer, typically an LMS) to send a user to another system (the tool provider, some service that integrates with the LMS) in a trusted way. The most common reason for the trust assertion is to allow the user to be automatically signed in and directed to a specific course or module when the provider renders content. The consumer and provider have a predefined relationship via a consumer key and shared secret which are used to sign any messages passed between systems. Open source education Most people think of their interactions with computer systems to occur via a keyboard, mouse, or touchscreen. However, humans evolved to interact with thier environment and each other in much more intricate ways. Bridging the gap between the computational systems of the digital world and the natural world is being studied and tested in the Physical Computing course at the State University of New York (SUNY) at Albany. As a professor of the course, we are currently leveraging a variety of open source software and hardware projects to learn about fundamental core concepts with hands-on experiences and implementation of open source tools.

The Campus Computing Project The 2014 National Survey of Computing and Information Technology in US Higher Education Four decades into the “computer revolution in higher education,” new data from fall 2014 Campus Computing Survey reveal that although CIOs and senior campus IT officers proclaim IT user support to be one of their top institutional IT priorities, many campuses continue to struggle with providing adequate support services and IT training for students and faculty. The new survey also documents a serious challenge of providing digital resources and services for disabled students, major concerns about IT security on the Cloud, and a big decline in the percentage of IT officers who view MOOCs as offering “a viable model for the effective delivery of online instruction.”
