My Work in the News
MIT Class "Building Mobile Applications"
What do you do when the experimental class you offered in designing applications for Google’s Android mobile phone operating system brings your students $300,000 and unprecedented experience in creating real-world-ready applications? If you’re MIT professor Hal Abelson, you expand it to phones and other mobile devices made by Microsoft and Nokia…
…Students assemble into small groups of between 2 and 5 members. Industry mentors and technical experts, who include representatives from Nokia, Microsoft, Google, [and] BankAmerica, are assigned to work with each group. “I’m really happy that we have such a great group of industry mentors,” Abelson says. “I think it’s really important that students get to do this under the tutelage of experienced applications developers.”
Teams then have one semester to build working apps, which will be demonstrated at an event in mid-December.

MIT iLabs
[A] project called iLabs makes lab instruments accessible over the Web. "You can
imagine some future where there is a complicated, expensive or even dangerous
piece of lab equipment, but students will be able to access it from anywhere in
the world," [MIT Professor Harold] Abelson says.
"One of MIT's electronic device measurement laboratories is already completely
accessible online to students," he says. "It's not a virtual laboratory; it's a
real laboratory, but you are getting to it over the Web."
Users can measure and record characteristics of various electronic components
from a remote location. Students in Singapore, participating in a shared
electronics course, have been using the electronics laboratory at MIT for some
time.
"We have other labs that will be online soon as well, such as a chemical
synthesis reactor and a wind tunnel. We also have some structural laboratories
with vibration sensors that are available over the Web."

MIT iMOAT
"The iCampus/MIT Online Assessment Tool (iMOAT) application, which is
already in use at MIT and other universities, is a replacement for freshman-
placement writing exams. Students register to take a test and are sent
reading material... Three days later they submit an essay. A teacher uses
the same iMOAT application to grade the exam on a PC."

Vendor Metrics (Staples, Inc.)
"We today post our vendor shipping performance on our Web site. So our
vendor, who is going to get penalized for late shipments and so forth, at
any time knows exactly where every one of his shipments stands, what his
on-time percentages and fill-rate percentages are, on the Staples vendor Web
site."
--Tom Stemberg, CEO Staples, Inc. - Wall Street Journal, 7/17/00
Back-To-School (Staples, Inc.)
”Looking to make one of its strongest traditional sales seasons even stronger,
Staples Inc., the Framingham retailer of office supplies, is planning to have
its dot-com division begin an online teacher registry for back-to-school
supplies. Using a personal computer at home or a computer link at more than 900
Staples stores, parents and students can access these lists and make online
purchases. …” - Boston Globe, 6/20/00
