“The BA Supercourse represents the collection of over 1,000,000
PowerPoint academic lectures categorized into the disciplines of
Science. Educators borrow
slides to improve their teaching. Our goal is to give the scientists
lectures they need to improve their research and training”
We developed this beta version of the Scientific Supercourse by
scouring the web to find all .ppt and .edu files in science.
We used an existing classification scheme of academic
disciplines to categorize the different disciplines of science.
We made the lectures available in familiar formats such as
for google searching or Yahoo browsing. Finally we have established
a demonstration of a personalized scientist quality control system.
