The development is described in a paper published in the journal Nature Materials by MIT professors Moungi Bawendi and Vladimir Buloviä#and graduate students Chia-Hao Chuang and Patrick Brown.
The new process is an extension of work by Bawendi the Lester Wolfe Professor of Chemistry to produce quantum dots with precisely controllable characteristics
Buloviä#the Fariborz Maseeh Professor of Emerging Technology and associate dean for innovation in MIT's School of engineering explains that thin coatings of quantum dots allow them to do what they do as individuals to absorb light very well

This allows us to initially improve performance under safer conditions and the algorithm provides a means to then transfer the learned corrections from the lower execution speed to higher speeds.

Still, student feedback suggested a desire for higher-quality videos in the online certification courses.
The result has been much happier students. How It Works The development of a new online program in project management provided Maris

students won't watch the videos. Likewise, students may not be able to"relate to"the instructor.
In one example, noted Maris, an instructor looked young, and students would comment on that in their feedback.
It took the videos along with interaction with the instructor in the discussion forum e-mails and online help sessions"for students to be convinced that he really is the expert."
"In using actors, the obvious challenge was that they might not be"believable "if they mispronounce the jargon of the subject.
Research has shown that adult learners"quit retaining information"after that much viewing time, said Maris. In order to achieve that length,
videos focus on specific concepts learners are going to need to understand. This approach has a second advantage:
Or a new topic video based on SME or student suggestions can be inserted wherever it's needed.
Conversely, when data shows that students aren't using specific videos at all, or if students give feedback that a given topic isn't pertinent to the work environment,
those videos are removed from the program. To give the videos a shelf-life of"maybe a couple of years,"noted Maris,

"We have learned from student feedback that they're more likely to watch the shorter lectures and well produced videos."
