Yes, I am VERY ENTHUSIASTIC about nanohub.org. I find it extremely useful, rich, intuitive and enjoyable. I found it during my sabbatical last year at Stanford where I was taking one of their nanotech courses. One of the professors told me about nanohub.org and suggested I check it out. Well, I was VERY impressed when I looked at it. I have been using it almost daily since then.
Specifically, I particulary enjoy both of Supriyo Datta's on-line nanoelectronics courses (ECE453 and ECE659). I have taken both these courses on-line and thoroughly enjoyed both. I find myself constantly referring back to them for "refresher" purposes. I have slowly incorporated some of this material into my own version of Supriyo's nanoelectronics course. My goal is to offer a full-fledged Intro to Nanoelectronics course at the University of Portland in two years. Also, I am very impressed with the MolCToy simulation tool. My students thoroughly enjoy the nanoelectronics course material along with on-line MolCToy simulations. This is all thanks to nanohub.org and Supriyo Datta.
I also enjoy many of Mark Lundstrom's on-line presentations.
In summary, I am EXTREMELY impressed with what Purdue University has done with nanohub.org. Great job !!! Major kudos to Supriyo Datta !!! I hope that Purdue doesn't change nanohub.org too much. I like it just the way it is. I find it very easy to use, useful and intuitive. I hope that Supriyo Datta continues to offer more on-line presenations and courses (or updated versions of his current courses) on nanohub.org.
I could go on and on about my passion for nanohub.org. But I'll stop here :)
