A growing list of schools are turning to the "serendipity engine" to help students find cross-discipline collaborators for passion projects.

finding a cross-disciplinary collaboration is tougher--most of us are more likely to head to a meetup or networking event to fish for someone outside of our skill set. That’s fine, but it’s not a very efficient way to find exactly what you’re looking for.

This section of Navigator is the entryway to the extensive listings of vetted projects exploring uses of emerging technologies contained in the Horizon Project data set — easily the largest database of its kind in the world.

App of the week Denso Free, from the Apple App Store Denso is a couch potato's dream. It is an easy way to discover and organise interesting Web videos. It works like Instapaper, except that instead of saving text, you are saving videos for future viewing. Sadly, the app will not work with YouTube videos, but it works with many other sources. It has compiled a list of videos to help you find topics that interest you. You can also watch, share and comment on videos shared by your friends on Facebook and Twitter. This is a universal app for both the iPhone and iPad but, as with most apps which handle video, it looks best on the iPad. Perhaps the best thing about this app is that it was made in Singapore.

Metadata is searchable by anyone, even in private mode Anyone who gets to it can download a video You may not be able to use the files as streamed by YouTube as they’re usually in an MP4 format Possibly not great for streaming to a tablet or phone
