"Imagine having the ability to take a virtual tour of the cosmos from your living room. Not just a flat, two dimensional tour, but an experience so engrossing that you have the ability to see the entire sky at once then zoom into detailed views of distant galaxies. The Terapixel project from Microsoft Research makes all of that possible, by creating the largest and clearest image of the night sky ever produced—a terapixel image, now available in the WorldWide Telescope and Bing Maps."
Here is the tool

Here is an article about a faculty member who is using her experience from her online degree to make her online courses more interactive and engaging. It would be great if we, as a system, had a System Innovations In Online award and sharing event. What a great opportunity to see what others are doing well and look at incorporating those ideas into our own online courses!! Happy Summer!

The New Employment Model Demands Worker Flexibility
The New Employment Model Demands Worker Flexibility
I added up all the careers or career jobs that I have had and I am currently at 12. Some studies say that the average person will have up to 11 different jobs in a lifetime. Imagine what that same study will soon be saying, as far as the number of jobs that an individual will have in a lifetime. The flexibility and the diversity in range, ability, and cross-training will now be the most important characteristics of workers. Specializations are great, but covering a wider base of knowledge will provide better employment opportunities.
