Getting Started
Getting Started Welcome! Welcome to Sherlock Holmes & the Internet of Things. This is NOT a traditional online course but instead it is a unique, highly dynamic collaboration.

The collaboration is currently broken into two camps — those who applied to the MOOC and those who have formed teams outside of the MOOC. Both are working towards similar goals as they build prototypes intended to answer the Sherlock Global Challenge. They come from a diversity ...
