Last night we had our first San Diego Online Education MeetUp at En Fuego Cantina and Grill in downtown Del Mar, CA. It was a small gathering of 5-6 people a lot of fun.
Topics we covered:
Carpel Tunnel Syndrome - While recently visiting a colleague Chris at his work, I noticed he had a very peculiar desk set up. During our conversation, he explained how a bean bag and a padded mouse pad changed his computing life.
Online Education - As part of the meeting, we discussed gains and pains in online education. For the most part, most of the experiences of pains were 2-4 years ago. Perhaps this means distance learning is moving forward….
Master’s Degrees in Science - This is definitely something we’ll be covering in future MeetUps.How do biology, a masters, and online education mash up? Sogand is gathering some information on that for her next attendance. There are schools that run “Labs” online. How?
After our dinner, we headed down into the cantina area and mingled with the other Thursday night crowd. We managed to bump into some educators in the finance space.
