Online Education

I'm a university professor who's been involved in online education for a long time, and was lucky enough to be there when the revolution started in 2011 with the Artificial Intelligence MOOC from Stanford. This course led to the founding of Coursera, Udacity and edX, among other MOOC companies.

Speaking of Udacity, in 2013 I applied for the Online Master of Science in Computer Science from Georgia Tech in association with Udacity and AT&T. I enjoyed every minute of the program until I finally graduated on May 2017. The OMSCS is an excellent Master's program for many reasons, for example Georgia Tech's constantly high ranking because of the tradition of excellence and hard work, the top quality of Udacity's material, the super low cost of the whole degree at under $7k, and the online nature of the program, to name a few. If you are seeking a Master's degree in computing from a top university, you should definitely consider this degree.


My Contribution
I've ben getting more and more actively involved in online education since 2016, when I started making online courses on Udemy, Lynda, edX. This has grown from an anxiety-relieving hobby to a career for me. These are my courses so far:

• Beyond Arduino Series, at Udemy. The objective here is to take Makers and instruct them on the whole vast world of microcontrollers out there once they're through with the Arduino bootcamp. There's more to life than the Arduino Uno!
  • Part 1: GPIO
  • Part 2: Analog I/O
  • Part 3: Interrupt Driven Embedded Applications
  • Part 4: C for Embedded Applications
• Hacking STEM, a Superpower to stop struggling at Science and Engineering class, and start learning. This course teaches the basics of the top-down approach to problem solving. A game changer.
• The C++ Standard Template Library, found at Lynda and LinkedIn Learning.
• FPGA Embedded Design Series, at Udemy. It's a tutorial-like series of courses intended to get the student up and running with FPGAs.
  • Part 1: The Verilog Hardware Description Language
• Electric Circuits in DC, at edX. This course was produced in Spanish under my employer's site galileoX. I'm a co-instructor.

I truly believe that the future of education is online.
