More from Roger Billings about the Science of Learning

In earlier posts, I have written about the fact that Roger Billings has been a long time contributor to the field of education.  Last November, he spoke at the iNACOL Blended and Online Learning Symposium in Orlando, Florida about how Acellus Learning works. The concept of turning learning into a science in an intriguing one.

The symposium is operated by iNACOL, a nonprofit organization with the mission to 'ensure that all students have access to a world-class education and quality blended and online learning opportunities that prepare them for a lifetime of success.'  Their annual conference is billed as the industry's leading event for K-12 online, blended and competency education when administrators, educators, lawmakers, and researchers gather to discuss the field's most pressing issues.

The session by Roger Billings covers online learning, tablets, and ends with a feature on his hydrogen work that I thoroughly enjoyed.

Roger Billings Science Papers

Periodically, I look for papers by Roger Billings and rarely am I disappointed.  I have read many of his works about hydrogen energy and economy in the past -- see some of my earlier posts. 

Recently I came across a couple papers published through SPIE about another area all together: hardware-in-the-loop.  I have to admit that it went over my head pretty quick but it has to do with efforts to "reduce communication latencies, minimize redundant development, operational labor and equipment expense." One of the co-authors of the paper is with the U.S. Army Research, Development and Engineering Command. Check it out and comment with your thoughts.
