News from the Field: Courses in Haptics

Ç Anumber of haptics researchers offer courses devoted to haptics or have haptics as a major component of a course. The increasing number of these offerings is perhaps best exemplified by the tutorial held at the 2012 Haptics Symposium in Vancouver that was devoted to “Best Practices for Teaching Haptics” (http://2012.hapticssymposium.org/node/68. html). In this issue of “News from the Field,” we feature some of these courses that cover a variety of content, haptic development platforms, and target different audiences. If available, a link to the course has been given. I would like to thank the instructors of these courses for providing the material for this feature.
