How is Energy 101 different from a textbook or an app?
Energy 101’s digital nature invites rapid and continual updating and evolution to maintain its timeliness and relevance despite changing market conditions. The traditional editing and publishing cycle means energy data in printed books is between 2 and 3 years old, rendering those books out-of-date as soon as they are published.
Since its launch in August 2014, Energy 101 has been updated with new data twice per year, new chapters on energy policy, and a new format to make it compatible with iPhones, tablets, and computers. Future chapters will be added on energy storage, the midstream sector, energy security, and energy geography.
Is there a New User Guide for the the web site?
You can view and download the Energy 101 New User Guide here.
Who made Energy 101?
Energy 101 came to life from an award-winning semester-long class offered at UT Austin titled “Energy Technology & Policy.” The class has been offered since 2007 to a mix of engineering, business, policy, and geosciences students. In 2013, a team including DISCO Learning Media’s founding members converted the class from a traditional direct-instruction format to a massive open online course (MOOC) through UT’s partnership with online course provider edX. More than 44,000 students from around the world enrolled, and nearly 5,000 of those finished the 10-week course, both of which are records for energy MOOCs. From February to August 2014, the DISCO team, still working through UT, converted the online course into a full-length, interactive reference that combined the multimedia and interactive components of the MOOC together with an original text. Website operators returned to the Webber Energy Group in June, 2020. You can read more about the author here.
