Oklahoma University will be offering a series of free online workshops called “Supercomputing In Plain English.”  The workshops will be help on Tuesdays at 3PM starting on January 25, 2010.  You can follow along with the presenter using a variety of videoconferencing options along with lecture slides and the opportunity to submit questions via e-mail or phone.

See the web site for the workshop or get in touch with Andrew Ruether from ITS (aruethe2, x8254) for more information.  If you are planning to participate, drop Andrew an e-mail.  If we have enough interest we will set up a dedicated videoconference space.
