Hello from Inside!

First of all, iUniv is pleased to announced that Yasutaka Kageyama, Chief Creative Director at Castalia, was interviewed on Education-Portal.com recently.  He had attended the 2011 OpenCourseWare Consortium conference where Castalia had made presentations of our two iconic platforms, iUniv and Schooly. 

Please take a look at this interesting interview:

We thank Education-Portal.com for their interest in us! :-)

On a separate note, Insider apologizes for being Outside for a while.  He/She will go inside more often from now on.  The theme ‘SUICIDE’ was in the wake of a Japanese ‘indigent’ idol (she grew up in a family of 10 brothers and sisters including herself and used to talk about her ‘tough’ childhood) who somehow took her life at age 24.  Insider was not an avid fan of her but was very sad to hear that.  Why did she have to skip the bright future that must have been ahead of her?   No one knows the answer except for her - but Insider hopes that those educational videos on suicide may help understand their mentality as well as help someone, who is also thinking of putting an end to his/her life, may think twice and stop.  The Yale University course is one of the important videos to see.
