World's Largest Natural Sound Archive Now Online - 1 views

  •  
    he "largest and oldest" collection of natural sounds in the world is now digital and available online, Cornell University announced. The Macaulay Library at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology houses a scientific archive of biodiversity audio and video recordings. Previously in analog format, the recordings - which go back to 1929 - are now completely digitized, and can be heard at MacaulayLibrary.org. "In terms of speed and the breadth of material now accessible to anyone in the world, this is really revolutionary," Greg Budney, Macaulay's audio curator, said in a statement. It took archivists 12 years to finish digitizing the collection, which has nearly 150,000 audio recordings that run a total of 7,513 hours, according to Cornell. The library features 9,000 species, including mostly birds, as well as whales, elephants, frogs and primates.

Virtual reality: could it revolutionise higher education? | THE News - 0 views

  • Conrad Tucker, an assistant professor of engineering at Pennsylvania State University, has received funding to build a virtual engineering lab where students hold, rotate and fit together virtual parts as they would with their real hands
  • One question his project aims to answer is whether students learn as well in VR as they do in real classrooms, or whether without being physically present with their classmates, they miss out on developing intangible skills such as teamwork
  • The same year saw the University of British Columbia experiment with a full lecture in VR. Five students were given an earlier version of the Oculus Rift headset and sat in a virtual classroom where they watched a gaming lawyer deliver a lecture
  • ...4 more annotations...
  • with headsets covering their entire field of view, the students were unable to take notes in the real world.
  • ou activate more of your brain because…it’s not a single channel [sense]
  • llow users to toggle between modes, hiding and then revealing the reconstructed parts
  • could, however, help universities to optimise their use of space, reserving real labs for when they are truly needed.
