AI Nuggets Presentations
23/09/10 16:45 Filed in: 480
If you have a topic for your AI Nugget presentation, you can sign up for it on Blackboard. Go to the “AI Wiki”, and follow the link to the presentation schedule for your section. Instructions are on the Wiki. I will publish the Web pages with more information on the AI Nuggets task soon. If your looking for topic ideas, try my collection of Web snippets in the AI Nuggets Evernote Notebook. You may also find some ideas at a related notebook, KM Nuggets, with an emphasis on knowledge management.

Slides Week 1 Available
23/09/10 14:48 Filed in: 480
You can download the slides for Week 1 now, either through the schedule by clicking on the link for the topic, or by going to the directory http://users.csc.calpoly.edu/~fkurfess/Courses/480/F10/Slides/. The latter is preferable if you want the Keynote version instead of a .ppt file. You can also find last year’s version of the slides for the other chapters. Most likely I’ll make minor changes before I use them in class, but the overall arrangement for a chapter will not change too much.
Blackboard Access Set Up
23/09/10 14:44 Filed in: 480
I had my quarterly wrestling match with Blackboard, and it should be available now. We'll use it for the submission of assignments (there's a menu entry "Assignment Submission") and possibly some of the labs, and for the AI Nugget presentation (under “AI Wiki”). If you already have a topic, pick a date, and enter your name and topic in the table with the presentation schedule. You'll also add a Wiki page there with your topic proposal, and later the draft and final versions of your presentation material.
Please note that the Wiki and the Discussion Board are part of a different, permanent course ( CSC-0480 ALL RELATED COURSES (CSC-0480-FKURFESS)), and linked to the 480 menu entry. I’ve copied the enrollment to that course, so it will appear in your list of Blackboard courses as well. Depending on how you navigate, you may also see the menu for that course, which has a greenish background. This linking business should be mostly invisible to you, however.

The first version of the project template is available now. Please use it as a blueprint for the project Wiki in your team.
Class News as RSS Feed
23/09/10 14:28 Filed in: 480
If you want to, you can follow theses class updates through an RSS feed. Since this is unlikely to be of interest to anybody outside this class, I’m not planning on making it available through one of the popular RSS channels. Let me know if you think that there would be any benefits in doing so.
