I used khan academy extensively when I was learning organic chemistry and wolfram alpha for all my calc 1 and 2 needs. In retrospect though, wolfram alpha was a regretful decision since it let me get away with learning approximately 0% of the actual material??

Honestly, as good as Khan Academy is, I haven't heard of any college students using it. In my opinion, and feel free to differ, but Google (or another all-around search engine) rules all. Sure, YouTube is possible if you want audio-visual guidance, but that can be Googled too. The only other tech resource I can think of is Stack Overflow for everything coding-related, but again, the searching tends to go through Google.

Hey all,

Here are some notes about what we went over at the end of our meeting today

Mission Critical for calendar:

  *   Search function
  *   tagging
  *   general display (day, week, month)
  *   web view (responsive)
  *   mobile interface (webview in wustl mobile app)
  *   personalization (groups you belong to, groups interested in, search by keyword)
  *   include student groups to begin with along with main academic calendar
  *   export (add to my calendar)
  *   categories (GBM, events, private meetings)

Thanks for all the ideas! In the next week go over what you would want to see in a calendar and consider looking at other universities? calendars.

Best,

?
