Normandale prof: Give me Sophia, Inkling over NOOKstudy
After I posted my off-the-cuff reservations about the NOOKstudy program presented by the Barnes & Noble bookstore at Minnesota State University - Mankato, I got this message from Christopher Danielson of Normandale Community College's math and statistics department:
The Nook Study doesn't impress this college math instructor at first glance.
I keep on top of this stuff and the systems with the most potential to be "game changers" are Inkling (textbooks for iPad) and Sophia (free online social learning site).
I wrote briefly about the latter recently:
And here's the Inkling he was talking about.
