This is one article you should keep track of and monitor, After helping to pioneer a selection of online courses at Stanford, the man behind the driverless car is leaving the ivory tower to do something potentially more groundbreaking: start a high-quality online university. Sebastian Thrun, the Googler behind the driverless car and one of the forces behind the university’s super-successful online classes.Thrun is aiming to set up his own, free-for-all university, called Udacity, follow the link to see a sample video and the sign up form. The video is realy cool as it has Serge Brin talking about basic programming, I have enrolled onto the CS 101 course due to start in Feb, re search engine design, can’t wait.

This is just what I was thinking about in a recent article, my wish to expand my CPD into what I now think of as CE or continuing Education, I know I have used the term Life Long Learning, but CE seems to be more what I want to do.

I am a bit of a power user on certain applications on the iPad, mostly for typing text ready for my blog, and a lot of general notes I keep for future article’s and reports, so when I saw this video below I thought how good, I knew some of the tips, but a lot are new to me, but one I found recently, I think from Jon Pickup, was the ability to split the keyboard, see top photo, the split keyboard will help a lot, I am a thumb typers mostly in portrait and this is so good. Still the tips shown in the video will speed up a lot of typing,

To get the split screen just hold down on the bottom right key, the one with the keyboard on it, this will split the screen, to return just repeat.
