A Computer Lab That Students Use but Never See - Chronicle.com

In the year or so, Pablo, John Drummond and I have attended several meetings on the Virginia Virtual Computing Labs which is an attempt to build on the work that NC State has done. I’m still hoping that we can find to use virtual machines to finish up the data mining project that we funded through the business school. I think that data mining is a topic that has wide applications in public policy, government, economics and the School of Education–if we find a way to make the software available conveniently and inexpensively.

The Chronicle recently ran this article on the work that NC State has been doing and it mentions our VVCL project.

At George Mason, the executive director of instructional technology, Sharon P. Pitt, says the university is adopting the model in partnership with universities across Virginia, using software developed by North Carolina State.

Pablo is working with Chon and SAS tech folks to setup a workshop for early October to explore some of the SAS capabilities–perhaps with some folks from Institutional Research who are big SAS users as well. Additional information is available on the project wiki site.
