from the vapid self horn tooting department… (cause thats what blogs are for) I just got wind of the edited videos from last month’s Scottsdale Community College’s TechTalks ’13. I love the format they came up with, an idea from Charles Pflanz, brilliantly organized and emceed by Lisa Young. Kudos to the SCC Film department […]
I cannot think of a more fitting MOOC-a-phor. “It’s no Big Deal” reports David Carl Spackler Wiley. DOODIE!
