Women in Engineering

Bob Gonyea, keynote speaker at the 2014 UD Winter Faculty Institute, joined us for a preview of some of the themes he'll raise on campus on January 9.

Of course, mayhem nearly erupts.

What UD staff have joined RCP pro wrestling?!?

Prior to his appearance at the University of Delaware Summer Faculty Institute, Phil Hill chatted with us about MOOCs. In one of the best interviews we've heard or read on the subject, Hill separates the hype from the reality, giving a very balanced view of the place for this relatively new tool in education today.

MOOCs made clear
