 * Interactive about how to make your house more eco-friendly: http://www.mercurynews.com/greenhome I like this interactive because of the rollover 'lightboxes' that show up when you hover over the icons. It is a simple design that doesn't overload with information. If I were going to make this better, I'd include more media like videos and audio to make it more engaging. This video doesn't really relate to my project topic (worm farming) but it's an example of an environmentally-themed topic, it relates to our field trip, and I will try and use the lightbox elements in my course.

Coursera Web Design https://www.coursera.org/specializations/website-development

This is the first of a five course program that I was interested in when I did advanced web design in mmy BCS, it is an online course that teaches the three key web languages: HTML, CSS and JavaScript. It teaches you to create a web page using basic elements to control layout and style as well as the ability to support interactivity. The course is divided into five sections but I only looked into the first one, it expected you to do two, one hour assignments, a 30 minute exercise and four 20 minute quizzes. I found it quite exciting but eventually realised that this required as much dedication and management as the BCS I was doing, but I would definitely recommend this course to anybody interested in learning responsive web basics.

VISHU:KERALA CULTURE & HERITAGE http://www.openculture.com/ I have chosen a festival celebrating in Kerala, Southern most state of India.This festival is called Vishu, which is our New year. I found the above mentioned website is very useful to learn about the culture and rituals of different countries. Through this website, a lot of resources are available in the form of audio books, they have online courses, they have small certification courses, eBooks, textbooks and so on.

Indian Heritage & Culture I have chosen this topic because,the way of life of India is the method for living of the general population of India. India's dialects, religions, move, music contrasts from others concerning an alternate sort of move has its own particular music, design, sustenance, and traditions varies from spot to put inside of the nation. The Indian society, regularly named as an amalgamation of a few societies, ranges over the Indian subcontinent and has been affected by a history that is a few centuries old. Many components of India's assorted societies, for example, Indian religions, Indian theory and Indian food, have had a significant effect over the world. http://www.livescience.com/28634-indian-culture.html https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Culture_of_India Paliws2 (talk) 02:49, 13 April 2016 (UTC)

Microsoft Azure fundamentals I have found a Microsoft Azure fundamentals course created by a partner of Microsoft; Bob Tabor. The course has 100 modules/videos and has been broken down into four segments/mini course the following links are to each mini course: (in correct order) Microsoft Azure Fundamentals Microsoft Azure Fundamentals: Websites Microsoft Azure Fundamentals: Virtual Machines Microsoft Azure Fundamentals: Storage and Data The target audience for the online course are Experienced Technical Audience who are new to azure, don't let this put you off watching and learning though because at the end of the day it is still a fundamental course. As I mentioned earlier this course is rather large course to under take, fortunately the created has take this in to account when creating the modules of the course, it is possible for the viewer/learner to skip modules that they may find uninteresting, this also means that someone who is either looking to learn about specific parts of Azure can easily do so, or someone who has completed the Azure course can refresh their memory by going to a specific module, rather than having to review several modules just in case there was important information in a prior module.

Apple OS X Training http://training.apple.com/

This is a truly interesting topic for me, Apple is a large corporation with massive pulling power. Apple allows those interested to participate in apple training modules for Apple Mac OS X, Xsan and productivity applications. The target audience would be young to more mature adults with an interest in Apple computing. Apple has a slick stand out marketing campaign which gives it the "SIZZLE" marketing competitive edge. --Rozeehh21 Rozeehh21 02:10, 5 April 2016 (UTC)

Apple XCode 2.5 Objective C tutorial http://training.apple.com/

This is a tutorial that I was using a while back in order to learn Objective C on an older version of Xcode. It's quite hard to find tutorials for XCode 2.5 and out of all the ones I found, this one here struck me as the best.

Working in a blueberry farm https://vimeo.com/158862878 This video is very concise, simple and easy to follow. People wanting to work on a blueberry farm (specifically in GBL) or for those who are just curious will have a fair idea of how the operation is. I was planning to do this topic for my project but decided not to because I don't have enough time to do the necessary preparation (obtain permission to shoot on site, gather pictures, etc) and that picking season is about to end. So, I will be doing this https://www.youtube.com/embed/R-iHh7Z4k4Y instead. Jjtrocino (talk) 20:42, 8 April 2016 (UTC)

This is a recipe & food blog where the owner share recipes, photos, cooking tips and instructional videos. From a concise video connected to Youtube, I've learned to make delicious caramel pudding. Directions are clear and easy to follow, the background music is fair-sounding, which makes it a user-friendly online courseware, although the blog is cluttered with too many ads. The target audience would be those who are interested in cooking&baking.

Japanese Kanji (WaniKani) https://www.wanikani.com/ WaniKani is a tool which uses a number of different learning techniques to teach Japanese kanji. Learning Kanji can be a rather overwhelming undertaking, and the aim of this application is to make this process as easy and effective as possible. It breaks the kanji down into radicals, and uses mnemonics and spaced repitition to help users to memorize each of the characters. I spent the few months between finishing my Art & Design degree and starting the Diploma of Web/Multimedia Dev beginning to teach myself the Japanese language and this is the tool I used to get started on learning kanji.

Tourism in India India is a beautiful country. A life-time would be short to view all the beautiful sights that this country has to offer. Families going to holidays or young people going just to freak out, if the location is appropriate having a fun time is totally within the reach of all. http://www.tourism-of-india.com/ Harshitk16 (talk) 12:59, 14 April 2016 (UTC)

Ranging from course like "Excel 2013 Essential Training" and "After Effects CC Essential Training" to others like "Online Marketing Fundamentals" and "The Practicing Photographer", ensuring there will always something for everyone. I like Lynda.com as it has alot of courses ranging from many topics, with a large variety, with more coming every week. However it does require a subscription.

Microsoft HoloLens: Course101 https://developer.microsoft.com/en-US/windows/holographic/holograms_101  Holograms 101  is a free step by step guide created and presented my Microsoft. The purpose of this tutorial is to assist anyone (even beginners with minimal or perhaps even no programming knowledge*), to learn how to create their own holographic experiences. Even though this demonstration is created to help future HoloLens (Augmented Reality) users (and utilises Unity software for the development*), it's also a great introduction learning experience for people and others to develop skills, knowledge, experiences, and the confidence to create their own similar or same AR Developments (ARD). This sharing of skills, knowledge and experiences (KSA's*) creates transferable skills; to be able to then incorporate and implement Augmented Reality creations and developments into other areas of AR (non HoloLens*) and other similar software development tools (such as Unreal Engine: similar development software to the recommended Unity*).
