stefan
thanks for the email--there have been a few changes since ed sent out
the
email to all of you guys.
first, the scheduling : it's all on monday...3.30-7.20pm
second, we will have major funding from a consortium of companies to do
something big with application of the 'giti' [i.e.computing and
communications] technologies...looks like the theme to anchor the
involvement will be distance learning. this may sound boring...but, it
looks like there's a potentially big market. and, besides, it gives us
an
application to try out analysis of a bunch of the tech-related issues
you
have raised.
having said all of that, the course will not be on distance learning.
we're still going to educate you guys to use some effective analytical
frameworks to be dangerous when someone asks you: what's the market for
adsl? and other such questions.
hope you and your friends can join us. we'll be posting a new website in
about 2 weeks or so...will send you an announcement when it is up.
thanks for your interest..
