Fall 2007, Dr. Ken Hoganson

Lecture time , Clendenning CS Building, Room 3028
All lectures are live online, and recorded at: Lectures

This web site under construction!!

This course will be taught as a hybrid-course - where some class meeting times will be used for project work, some requirements will be reading and presentation.

Lectures are recorded with both Tegrity and e-Pop, and are stored on the same server msacsonline. Lectures are converted overnight to formats for the iPod and PDAsmartphones. E-Pop creates large raw recordings that can be viewed prior to conversion, but the conversion improves the recording: video and sound and compresses to smaller files.

Students are registered for varying hours 1, 2, or 3 hours. The course requirements will vary depending on the number of hours registered.
