Dr. Dee and I have been discussing this particular activity
along with some similar programs at other schools.
We've been sort of brain-storming the notion of
getting students in the communications arts to
produce some mini-lectures to be posted on Bethany's
website. The benefits are many including increased
exposure for the school, raising the competence
and comfort level of faculty in the use of new tools,
real-time, hands-on experience for the students who
produce the work, etc. etc.
They already offer some on-line courses on a fee
for credit basis. It might help build student
retention and graduation completion rates if
a constellation of core courses taken for free
could be converted to graduation credits AFTER
all other graduation requirements are met. Nothing
like getting the student more INVESTED in the outcome.
I've ordered some video capture equipment to tie a camera
to one of the computers. We'll be teaching ourselves
how to get some of Dr. Dee's classroom offerings on-line.
Hillsdale is offering a free, college level course on
the Constitution starting Feb 20. The lectures will be
archived so one may access them at their own convenience.

Nothing is more worthless than knowledge unshared. The
more you give it away, the greater value it acquires.
I think it was some guy named Pike who opined something
to the effect: "Things we do only for ourselves will
die with us; things we do for others or the community
can become immortal."
A few weeks ago I received an email from
http://www.best-aviation-sites.com/
who conferred a Top Aviation Website Award
on AeroElectric.com You folks gave direction to
on how that effort evolved and I thank you.
If any of you have the time, talent, hardware and
inclination to produce a "how to" video on any aspect
of OBAM aircraft construction, I would be pleased to
post it to AeroElectric.com
Pretty exciting stuff.
