Exactly. When discussing this with professional college level teachers, I often get what appears to be some degree of skepticism in their response, "Yeah, but what about 'quality' of the education?" My answer is, "The presentations are for simple-ideas. Deduction of presentation of fact. Any one item taken by itself can be explained by a willing presenter of any degree or credential. The information being offered can be taken up by any willing and able listener. The study and sharing of simple ideas has no rigorous demand upon what we often call 'quality'. It needs only to be true and well explained. If one considers legacy offerings for traditional institutions of learning, success for their endeavors is measured by how well simple-ideas have be taken up by students in a manner that makes them potential ingredients that go into recipes for success. Sadly, I think the institutions of learning have built a sort of firewall between themselves as disseminators of ingredients (books and calculators) and the chefs (hammers-n-saws) who turn those ideas into useful products. Using the KhanProcess to augment the classroom presentation increases likelihood of acquisition and retention of ingredients by students of every learning-rate which gives the teacher more time to talk about recipes. I had only the most rudimentary grasp of this process when I started the 'Connection . . . but intuitively I knew that it was insufficient to put out a simple cookbook, Wire it up like this and trust me . . . it will work". That's why the 'Connection is mostly ingredients topped off with only one chapter of recipes at the back of the book. Further, issues of 'quality' are easier to address. Throughout our formal education experience, we're offered x-thousand simple- ideas. Your PhD is awarded when you demonstrate a mastery of those ideas. The really neat thing about the KhanProcess is that the source of those ideas can be any willing/able presenter or teacher without having an deleterious impact on legacy notions of 'quality'. Some teachers I've talked to get that far away look of appreciative contemplation, others remain skeptical. Given the apparent value and rate of growth for the KhanProcess, even skeptics might do well to consider exploitation of these new tools. Another neat feature of productions by KhanProcess is that one's students might revisit the 'classroom' years hence for a review and the teacher might never know it. But the fact that a student remembers where they were introduced to those ingredients before can come back for a memory jump-start is a huge asset to that individual's successes later. I've suggested to some college administrators that these presentations could be a real adjunct marketing tool for their school struggling to bring in and retain students. Suppose learning requirements for say 10% of their total credit hours could be achieved on line at no cost other than the student's performance. Further, they could take the course as many times as they wanted to raise the grade. But credit for those courses would not be awarded until the other 90% was completed at the usual tariff and expenditure of time in the classroom. This seems to be a good way to get a student invested in achieving the desired outcome for graduation. Having semester worth of high level achievement to capstone their transcript seems like pretty powerful incentive to get-er-done. Over time, there would become a library of these. When someone asked a question that lent itself to the format, your answer would become another lesson that could be located by a search of the data base of lessons. You seem to have become highly successful giving away your knowledge, but there is a value here that is worth paying for. But my guess is that when you think of a kid in Pakistan or Fiji or China who has dreamed of flying ever since he saw his first small airplane, you will want him to have whatever knowledge you can give him. That's the idea . . . or at least I think it is. It's coming together in a plan for a series of activities that sure make sense to me today. Nothing ventured, nothing gained. I'm going to stir the pot see if it still makes sense a few years from now. Bob . . .

    Thanks Bob. I have that one as well. I am still looking for some dimensions on the gamma match though. The gap is identified, but not how far it is from the wingtip support for instance. Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=369417#369417

    suggestion >It is easy to confuse the quality of the presentation, which can be >easily be shown to and judged by others and the quality of the >knowledge transfer, which is not as easily judged. But who is the ultimate arbiter of quality? If I enroll in some formal class, is my grade in that class the true reflection of value or 'quality'. As student, I think I have to be the final judge as to the value received (knowledge) for value given ($time$ and $tuition$). There have been hundreds of studies on retention rates for material offered in the legacy student- classroom-professor setting. For the time and dollars it costs to go to college, one is prompted to re-assess return on investment. But when you sit down with a well crafted KhanProcess presentation, what demands are made of the investor? Who is to decide whether the efforts 'invested' have a satisfactory return? Certainly the instructor is completely out of the loop. Of 1500 or so folks who receive the List messages every day, there are only a few dozens of 'active' participants . . . but I would think that the remainder would un-subscribe if they did not find value in watching those conversations go by. >College professors are as prone to be attracted to shiny things as >anyone else. Sure, but this isn't about professors of any stripe, it's about packaging useful information into formats that are free of intimidation, expenses bordering on predatory and a pedantic focus on getting a grade/sheepskin. >I think to try to engage with the formal educational system during >the startup of your endeavor will add nothing and present addition problems. I haven't the least interest in engaging the formal education system. I've offered some observations and links to what appears to be a bright educational star coming over the horizon . . . but whether or not 'they' take the process any further has no implications for anything I propose to do. I DO have an interest in seeing my wife's employer do well . . . for obvious reasons. She will be experimenting with these tools for her own purposes and then promoting them to the rest of the faculty. Any risk for "presenting additional problems" is not a clear. I think problems burdening most institutions are generated from within and perhaps too deeply entrenched. >Create the mechanism to transfer the knowledge from you to the >motivated learner, and the knowledge will be spread. If academia >finds it useful and not a threat to it's paradigm, perhaps they will use it.

Right on again . . . which goes to my assertion of problems being mostly generated from within. >I am currently watching the Calculus presentations.

Yes . . . yet nobody has made any demands upon you nor taken it upon themselves to assess the 'quality' of your outcome. If you're not happy with your experience, no doubt you'll discontinue the activity. If you are pleased with the outcome then the return on investment can be nothing but good. Talk about win-win.

    suggestion Greetings Bob, I think we have mixed 2 distinct discussions in to one thread. There are 2 systems that I think merit discussing. One is the teacher/learner system as described by the 2 people on a log. The second is the university/student system which goes beyond the scope of any discussion about knowledge transfer and involves money, politics, and ego. The one thing to keep in mind about the university/student system is that transferring knowledge is not the primary, nor do I think based on my experience one of the top 10, reasons for it's existence. This is what lead me to advocate for you avoiding academia. In the teacher/learner system both judge the quality by the transfer of knowledge. In the university/student system the student is the product and the quality of anything implemented in the university system 1s judged by it's cost, the amount of time it requires from the staff when being used to prepare the student to pass the tests required to make them employable, and any number of other criteria which may or may not have a bearing on if or how knowledge is acquired by the student. The student invests $time$ based on the premise that the credential will yield a better quality of life in the future, regardless of whether or not the knowledge is acquired or retained. A discussion of possible changes and their consequences to the university/student system would be a list unto it's self. I question whether defining it as "your wife's employer" rather than as "the formal education system" changes whether or not it's a duck. I hope however you choose to develop your knowledge transfer methodology, you will keep the teacher/learner system as a viable part. "Look, look, them electrons are heading up that draw.

The preliminary tag should have been removed from the .pdf a long time ago. I've updated both the .dwg and .pdf files to revision R. Thanks for the heads up! Bob . . .

Understand and agree . . . not hoping to develop any institutional alliances. But I do have a personal interest in Dr. Dee's endeavors as well. In the teacher/learner system both judge the quality by the transfer of knowledge. <snip> The student invests $time$ based on the premise that the credential will yield a better quality of life in the future, regardless of whether or not the knowledge is acquired or retained. A discussion of possible changes and their consequences to the university/student system would be a list unto it's self. You got that right! I question whether defining it as "your wife's employer" rather than as "the formal education system" changes whether or not it's a duck. Understand . . . but even the most disciplined skeptic can suffer hope. And she is a dedicated teacher who puts her students first. I hope however you choose to develop your knowledge transfer methodology, you will keep the teacher/learner system as a viable part. Absolutely. I think it has worked for me and noteworthy individuals have exploited the tools to take the concept to new heights. Pretty exciting stuff. I think we are in agreement my friend. Bob . . .

    Subject: HID lighting observations
    I'm still waiting to get into the lab to do some quantitative testing on some HID light kits. In the mean time, I've installed a pair on my Kia mini-van. I've observed the following: The lights generate noticeable but not overwhelming noise in the AM broadcast band during the warm up phase. About 30 seconds. Don't hear it after the lamps are warmed up. The kits I have generate a strong transient of some variety onto the bus when first turned on. If I have the cruise control engaged at the time, it drops off line. I have to shut the engine off completely to get the cruise control to reset and wake up. This sort of event isn't even watched for under DO-160 explorations. I'll have to set up on the bench to capture and quantify this characteristic. But in the mean time, be aware that a turn-on transient MIGHT manifest in erratic behavior of some micro-processor based electro-whizzies in your airplane. If any such events are identified and repeatable, I'd like to know about them. Bob . . .

The gap is identified, but not how far it is from the wingtip support for instance.
