Quite a few people come to my blog in the quest to find engineering simulation and math learning resources, particularily MATLAB and Excel VBA tutorials.  My most popular post apparently is the University of Wisconsin Screencasts. Anyhow, I decided a bit more research was required on my part, and that work led me to the Mathtools.Net. This site, hosted by MathWorks, allows the engineering community to share technology focused math engineering links. It appears to be a good resource, and does not appear to "push" MathWorks products. Take a look at the attached screenshot ...

Al Moser trashes voice over PowerPoint in this blog post about using multimedia in eLearning. He feels audio is a weak solution because it reduces knowledge retention, reduces productivity, reduces accessibility, and removes searchability. He concludes by saying recorded VIDEO sucks. (I think he means boring videos suck not all videos).  I believe Al is making this about the tool (PowerPoint + audio) when he should be talking about the method and the quality of instruction ... the phone. Video. Better. A simulator. I digress. On issue four: audio removes searchability. I think Al is saying ...

In my continuing search to discover some of the top engineering blogs and sites, I  have a couple of additions to Engineering Blog Quest 2008. My first addition is in the field of control systems. You'll find Terry Blevin's and  Eric McMillan's Modeling and Control Blog worth a RSS subscription. They describe their blog in this manner ... "You will find that our posts focus on technical aspects of process control and simulation. The information provided will be based on our experiences in these areas."Now if feedback loops are not your cup of tea, then head ...

Clive Shepherd has three great posts about blended learning over on his blog (see the links at the bottom of this post). Clive gives us a well-needed closer examination of how we define and prescribe blended learning. In the past, I remember using the term and concept to help get management away from the idea of only using instructor-led training. This at least opened their eyes to consider using online courses, virtual classroom training, etc. Now I feel like too many ... with content, viewing video, simulation, undertaking a project, writing an essay; One-to-one: for example, ...

Last Summer Second Life was all the rage in the popular media. In fact, one of the most linked (and found) pages on this blog are the Second Life Tutorials (more SL posts). However, as much as SL gathered media attention, the bigger interest for most of us was the discipline of engineering simulation and data visualization. While conducting some research recently, I became aware of an excellent visualization seminar series from Duke University. Like most research ... wiki sections: Software Engineering Learning Blogs and Pods     ...
