MyEdu Will Be Your Curriculum Guide And Virtual College Advisor Rolled Into One

11 Mar

TechCrunch

Do you remember to the days of college, when you were required to sort through your curriculum and career goals with your designated college advisor? Education startup MyEdu aims to replace this by helping students virtually access their academic information and create a roadmap tailored to their career goals.
To date, over 2 million students at 750 universities have used MyEdu to earn their degree. MyEdu’s suite of online products try to streamline the entire process of a college student’s lifecycle, from selecting a college through to earning a degree. The suite includes detailed course descriptions, grade distributions, official course evaluations, and student reviews to pick the right classes; and schedule Planner to build the best schedule that fits a student’s time constraints and goals.
MyEdu also includes a graduation and degree roadmap to help students build a plan and stay on course towards the degree they want in order to graduate. And the academic progress dashboard allows students to track their grades in a centralized place. MyEdu charges a $20 annual subscription for the entire academic suite.
The startup, which just raised $5.5 million in funding from Bain Capital Ventures, has a compelling model to help both students and parents participate in the college planning process. And as colleges are now rapidly adopting web technologies as a educational tool (i.e. Blackboard); it makes sense for universities to do the same for college advising.

Palm webOS PDK Public Beta Now Available
Palm Demonstrates New Games at Game Developers Conference
SAN FRANCISCO, Game Developers Conference (GDC), March 9, 2010 – Palm, Inc. (NASDAQ: PALM) today announced that a public beta version of the Palm® webOS™ Plug-in Development Kit (PDK) is now available at the Palm Developer Center (developer.palm.com). Palm is demonstrating new games from early PDK developers in its booth at GDC (No. 2016).
The PDK complements the Palm webOS Software Development Kit (SDK), letting developers use C and C++ alongside the web technologies that power the SDK and mix them seamlessly within a single app. The PDK enables new functionality, including immersive 3D graphics, and gives developers who have built games for other platforms an easy way to bring their titles to the webOS platform. Developers can download the beta PDK and start developing today, but distribution of games built with the beta PDK will require functionality provided in an upcoming Palm webOS update.
"Palm webOS is the go-to platform for great games on two of the three leading carrier networks," said Katie Mitic, senior vice president, Product Marketing, Palm, Inc. "We have both the developer tools and the hardware necessary for a world-class gaming experience, and an impressive portfolio of webOS game titles from top-notch developers to show for it."
At CES in January, Palm introduced 12 games built by four leading developers with early access to the PDK:
• "Asphalt 5" (Gameloft)
• "Brain Challenge®" (Gameloft)
• "Glyder 2" (Glu Mobile)
• "Let's Golf!" (Gameloft)
• "MONOPOLY" (EA Mobile™)
• "Need for Speed™ Undercover" (EA Mobile)
• "SCRABBLE" (EA Mobile)
• "Sudoku" (EA Mobile)
• "Tetris®" (EA Mobile)
• "The Oregon Trail" (Gameloft)
• "The Sims™ 3" (EA Mobile)
• "X-Plane" (Laminar Research)
Since then, more than 20 exciting webOS titles have been launched by these early-access developers:
• "Apollo" (Laminar Research)
• "Assassin's Creed™ – Altair's Chronicles" (Gameloft)
• "Brothers In Arms®: Hour of Heroes" (Gameloft)
• "Castle of Magic" (Gameloft)
• "Deer Hunter 3D" (Glu Mobile)
• "Dungeon Hunter" (Gameloft)
• "Earthworm Jim" (Gameloft)
• "Gangstar: West Coast Hustle" (Gameloft)
• "Giant Fighting Robots" (Laminar Research)
• "Guitar Hero 5 Mobile" (Glu Mobile)
• "Hero of Sparta" (Gameloft)
• "Real Soccer 2010" (Gameloft)
• "Real Tennis" (Gameloft)
• "World Series of Poker: Hold'em Legend" (Glu Mobile)
• "X-Plane Airliner" (Laminar Research)
• "X-Plane Carrier" (Laminar Research)
• "X-Plane Extreme" (Laminar Research)
• "X-Plane Glider" (Laminar Research)
• "X-Plane Helicopter" (Laminar Research)
• "X-Plane Racing" (Laminar Research)
• "X-Plane Space Shuttle" (Laminar Research)
"The Palm webOS PDK is extremely powerful and far-reaching, as evidenced by the number of titles we've been able to bring to the webOS platform in a very short time," said Baudouin Corman, vice president of publishing, Americas, Gameloft. "It's quite difficult to make a great phone that's also an outstanding gaming platform; Palm has been successful delivering both."
More information about the beta PDK is available at the Palm Developer Center (developer.palm.com). More information about games for Palm webOS is available at www.palm.com/applications.

Firefox developer outlines plans to 'humanise' the internet

8 Mar

TechRadar
The Mozilla Foundation has outlined its long-term mission for developing the online web experience and user control of the internet over the next century, claiming that Firefox is just the start.
Mozilla Foundation head Mitchell Baker told the Register recently that the open source group's mission was "to build certain qualities into the human experience of the internet" and that while Firefox was "important for the immediate future" Mozilla has "barely started in user control."
According to executive director Mark Surman is leading a Mozilla project called Drumbeat, which uses a new set of independent programs in open-web technologies like HTML 5 "where students' work is rated and scored using a peer-rating system designed to go beyond the standard Microsoft or Cisco certifications."
Humanising technology
Surman outlined Drumbeat's objectives as follows: "Clearly, the goal is to get out to a new circle of people who care about the web already but who don't have a way to participate.
"We don't know what the market will be 100 years from now, but we do know that a dramatic increase in levels of ownership and participation in the web will be critical."
Surman wants to see university courses in HTML 5, Cascading Style Sheets and JavaScript and courses that promote Mozilla's Canvas.
"Hopefully over time that's something that starts to compete with and replace the Cisco academies and Microsoft engineers - more traditional teaching and training. We can use the power and ethics of the web for people to teach each other skills and get jobs," said the Mozilla web guru.
"It's not hard to get tens of thousands [involved] - they are knocking on the door now. And they are going to talk to their friends, neighbours, and colleagues, and that will help people who don't know the difference between Firefox, Internet Explorer, and Chrome," Surman said.
"They are the next layer of people who come in five to 10 years from now - and that's the next stage of the game."
