Last night, some of the Center for Cognitive Ubiquitous Computing at ASU students in the program presented their final project work for their Spring 2020 NSF NRT project at ASU, Citizen-Centered Smart Cities & Smart Living core course, The Politics and Ethics of the Smart City. The ideas introduced and the discussions that came out of them were fascinating, and very needed in current times. Great job!
Arizona State University has launched ASU For You, in which they have gathered some of their most valuable learning tools in one place to meet ALL learners where they are, both in terms of physical location and educational needs: https://asuforyou.asu.edu/
ASU For You includes many learning tools at no cost such as virtual field trips; library access; video lessons, labs and simulations in K-12 subject areas; badge and certificate programs in areas such as health and well-being, smart cities and environmental science; tutoring, online courses and training videos for teachers or parents teaching from home; and courses for college credit.
While these resources are valuable at any time, they are particularly relevant today given the circumstances we all face with .
