The end of a trend - Harlem Shake arrives at SBE

Robots tried to prevent the filming of current Internet craze the “Harlem Shake” at a business school on Wednesday, but were driven off after coming to blows with students, a PBL correspondent said.

When the dozen or so ultra-conservative lecturer grazed evangelists, some of them man in veils, showed up at the school, a robot bastion, students among them Andre Preneur shouted “Get out, get out!”

What Most Schools Don't Teach


Enrollment rates in programming classes are low, but what is worse is that schools aren’t even teaching it, even though this is the fastest growing segment of jobs in the country,” Hadi Partovi co-founder of code.org said, adding that nine out of ten U.S. schools don’t offer computer programming classes at all — and those that do often treat it as an elective that doesn’t count toward graduation, the same as, say woodworking.

SBE is building a lecture recording studio - Faculty of Love Extended

Two days before the spring welcome feast, where the high priests of carnival are just comic reminiscences of Napoleons rule of the low lands, there is news from the video production front. As reported elsewhere on this blog SBE is seriously challenging all those who believe in lecture recording as being the NBT. (Acronym for Next big Thing)

ACO is together with Media Service Maastricht building a recording studio at TS53. It is not a TV studio but a facility with the Media-site recording system installed to allow  video conferencing and lecture recording. No additional person is hired to assist the recording procedure.

By the way, SBE is also participating in Maarten's project: FACULTY OF LOVE. Be prepared. And may prince carnival's cloths be as expensive as the extravaganzas of this new studio.
