ISM-02: Global communities Some research takes so much computer power, that it is almost impossible for any university to do it. But get a whole stack of people to link their home computers and wonders happen. Global computing communities search for prime numbers, alien intelligence and the wonders of fractal art. In this unit, students meet these communities and some of the leading personalities in them. Fascinating people and fascinating obsessions. And all are open to anyone to join in. Free. Is this a change in the whole way the world works? (level: Medium) |

ITM-01 Behind the Net How does the Internet all fit together and actually work? What is the engine room? What are servers, networks, software, hardware and how do they all seem to talk to each other so we can communicate across the world with ease? How does HTML work? This unit not only gets all that stuff clear, but it will set students off on an exploratory adventure behind the net! They will end up with the skills to go on exploring forever. (level: Medium) |
