Kapow! Image source: PixabayWe software engineers have a superpower. It’s true! We do. And you came here to find out what your superpower is. How long do I keep you in suspense? One sentence? Two? Or do we just cut the chase. Let the cat out of the bag.Well okay, I’ll tell you. In a moment. First, I want to show you a number:16%I was astounded when I saw this number. I was working for a software engineering department that very generously granted all engineers a sizeable personal training budget. You could spend it on anything related to personal education that wasn’t a paper book (for tax reasons…). It was more then enough for a ticket to a decent conference, a workshop, or a virtually limitless supply of online courses. And it wasn’t being spent. 16% was the amount of the overall training (...)

Though this begs a new question, if team work is a complete necessity in the coding world, why do MOOCs (Massive Open Online Course) not provide a team working aspect to them? Would it even be feasible to include a team work portion to these #programming courses?These courses, known as MOOCs, offered by Coursera, Edx, Udacity and many other sources provide excellent instruction to help an individual hone their coding skills. There are discussion boards to ask for help along with great reading resources to reference in order to provide help through each assignment. They encourage the use of Stack Overflow.

A few months ago, I was looking for a course to revise the fundamentals of Java Spring framework. I was searching for a tutorial that gave me a quick walkthrough of Spring concept without going into too much depth so I can start to write code without spending much time on just reading. After few hours of search on various online courses sites, I found a suitable course for free.A few days after, I was discussing with my friend about programming and he asked me where to find free video tutorials. I explained him the steps of finding free online courses that I followed. One month later to this, another friend who wanted to revise software testing concepts and asked a similar question.I realized that other people also may have a problem with finding free courses. so I decided to build a (...)

Because 10Vs is just not enough…When I took an online course on Big Data, the instructor instructed me that “Big Data is commonly characterized by a number of Vs.” She did not, however, specify the number, and the Vs were introduced with great suspense:The first three are Volume, Velocity, and Variety.Later on, she introduced two more Vs: Veracity and ValenceI was pretty excited at this point, especially since I hadn’t heard from Valence since high school chemistry class. Not a minute later, she dropped a bombshell:Moreover, we must be sure to never forget our sixth V, Value.With no more Vs mentioned for several lectures, I settled down with this model of Big Data, and indeed I passed the course with high marks. It wasn’t until months later, my world was turned upside-down with a shocking (...)

Online education can be good or cheap, but not both | Reihan Salam
▻http://blogs.reuters.com/reihan-salam/2013/07/26/online-education-can-be-good-or-cheap-but-not-both

Outsourcing this kind of teaching [basic introductory material] could in theory be an enormous boon to the bottom line of colleges and universities, as the most effective providers could spread their online courses across the country, sparing the need for large numbers of expensive faculty members. Indeed, Udacity’s entry-level courses were offered for $150 each, far less than the $620 San Jose State charges for traditional classroom-based courses.

The problem, however, is that between 56 percent and 76 percent of students who took the final exams ultimately failed them.

(...)

True MOOCs that make almost no use of faculty labor will be very cheap to deliver, but one can easily imagine that they will be plagued by an attrition rate at least as high as what we see in today’s for-profit colleges. Blended online courses that stream lectures while also making use of face-to-face teaching assistants might have a success rate closer to land grant public institutions, where interaction with senior faculty is limited but there is a human support system for students. It should go without saying that the latter are going to be much more expensive than the former.

Building a computer from scratch: open source computer science course - Boing Boing

Shimon Schocken and Noam Nisan developed a curriculum for their students to build a computer, piece by piece. When they put the course online — giving away the tools, simulators, chip specifications and other building blocks — they were surprised that thousands jumped at the opportunity to learn, working independently as well as organizing their own classes in the first Massive Open Online Course (MOOC). A call to forget about grades and tap into the self-motivation to learn.

Outstanding student debt in America has hit $1 trillion, students are on the streets of Quebec, demanding no rises in tuition fees, and French professors are bemoaning the rising costs and “Harvardization” of higher education.

But how much do students actually pay around the world?
