Free massive online open courses (MOOCs)
A class with hundreds or even thousands of students might sound like a teacher’s worst nightmare. But a big idea in higher education these days is Massive Open Online Courses, or MOOCs.
Some universities offer free, non-credit MOOCs available to anyone in the world. Others charge for courses and provide credits. The idea is still developing. The Massachusetts Institute of Technology started its first MOOC in 2012. The school plans to offer many free, non-credit courses through a project called MITx. Many Chinese universities are beginning to offer free MOOCs now too.
Nowadays, MOOCs almost cover every topic, like computer science, technology, mechanics, engineering, languages, etc.
Generally speaking, there are no formal education requirements for these free online courses. Students watch short videos. Then, they take informal, ungraded quizzes after the videos each week for certain weeks. Quizzes are part of the lecture program to keep students engaged and keep them thinking, for students to be able to check that they understood what was covered. They can repeatedly watch the videos and take the quizzes whenever they want. Students receive homework. They can join online groups to exchange questions and answers about the courses. The teachers hold online groups to exchange questions and answers about the courses. The teachers hold virtual office hours to answer questions that the students have posted. They also present their own questions and observations.
Some supporters claimed that there are things that we can do better in the online format. We can certainly deliver high-quality education to many students at much lower cost. |

For anyone who hates doing yard work, your new best friend may have arrived. A robot can autonomously shovel snow, collect leaves and cut grass.
“We’re trying to help people not spend time on yard work,” said Steven Waelbers, the designer of the robot. “We want people to enjoy their free time with their family.”
The electric robot can run by itself in right directions with the help of two beacons (信号塔) that must be placed in the yard. The robot includes a camera and ultrasound sensor (超声传感器) that Waelbers said would stop quickly when it finds pets and people.
Owners of the robot will need to regulate the values stored in the robot. Then it will confirm the task it’s going to take. Before the robot operates by itself, an owner must manually wheel it around the yard — taking it around any obstacles like trees, bushes or mailboxes. By doing this, the robot is taught how long and wide the lawn is, and won’t accidentally destroy your rose bush or run to the neighborhood.
Once this setup is complete, and the $3,999 robot has been trained on where to cut grass, rake leaves and shovel snow, it operates without any supervision.
Waelbers has always loved to build robots and play with electronics. He started work on a high-tech company after his father asked him to make a robot that would shovel snow for him. Waelbers plans to start sales in early 2017. |

English the Global Language
English is spoken as a native language by around 377 million people, and as a second language by around 375 million speakers in the world. Speakers of English as a second language will soon outnumber those who speak it as a first language. Around 750 million people are believed to speak English as a foreign language. English has an official or a special status in 75 countries with a total population of over 2 billion.
The domination of the English language globally is a sure thing. English is the language of international communications, business, tourism, education, science, computer technology, media and the Internet. Surprisingly, 70% of all information stored in the Internet is in English.
British colonialism in the 19th century and American capitalism and technological progress in the 20th century were undoubtedly the main causes for the spread of English throughout the world. From the fifteenth century the British began to sail all over the world and became explorers, colonists and imperialists. They took the English language to many places. For the last hundred years, the USA has played a leading role in most parts of the world. The Hollywood film industry also attracted many foreign artists in quest of fame and fortune and a large number of American films produced every year soon flooded the market.
However the future of English as a global language will depend very largely on the political, economic, demographic and cultural trends in the world. |

The Wichita Falls Police Department is trying to help curb crime in neighboring communities throughout the city. On Saturday Wichita Falls Police gave a free two-hour presentation to help locals keep their community crime free.
More than 20 people showed up at the Martin Luther King Center in east Wichita Falls to be part of the presentation.
Wichita Falls Police Officer Jeff Hughes said that they wanted to make sure the folks out there were aware they were doing everything to take away the opportunity from a bad guy.
Hughes reminded those in attendance that their homes outside presentation could be an open invitation to criminals. One of the biggest ways to prevent crime, according to Hughes is to use CPTED. Also known as Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design.
“The biggest site, that we are dealing with now, that we are endorsing fully, is Nextdoor and it’s simply just nextdoor.com,”
The site is free and helps locals set up a Virtual Community that they can interact with from the comfort of their own home.
“With www.nextdoor.com it all happens in a web based program where if you send something out it gets to that group or that person instantly, they will get an alert on their phone or an email.” said Hughes.
According to Hughes, he has already seen a positive impact locally from the site and hopes it can continue to expand in Wichita Falls. |

Making Your Home a Safer Place
We all tend to think that we are safe in our homes but unfortunately, many homes are not as safe as they are supposed to be. It is impossible to make your home 100% burglar-proof but there are ways to improve your home safety.
Always lock the door and windows when you go out for work or even if you are inside the house. The burglars can take advantage of the opportunity in a minute.
Be suspicious of strangers. You can never know who is pretending to conduct a research or who is using it as a disguise to see if your home is worth breaking in.
Never leave valuables or cash in visible places. Hide them out of sight because they may attract burglars.
Do not leave the door key under planters, doormats or similar hiding places. The burglars know exactly where to look for it.
Teach your children not to open the door or answer the phone when they are home alone. Although it is better to make an impression that your house is not empty, children may unintentionally reveal too much, for example, when the home is empty.
Consider installing an alarm system. A loud sound alarm usually drives the burglars away before they can steal anything from your home.
Make sure you have good lighting outside during the night. Well-lit homes are deterring the burglars because they increase the risk of being noticed while sticking around the house or trying to break in. |
