A Framework to Analyze Argumentative Knowledge Construction in Computer-Supported Collaborative Lear
Computer-supported collaborative learning (CSCL) is often based on written argumentative discourse of learners, who discuss their perspectives on a problem with the goal to acquire knowledge. Lately, CSCL research focuses on the facilitation of specific processes of argumentative knowledge construction, e.g., with computer-supported collaboration scripts. In order to refine process-oriented instructional support, such as scripts, we need to measure the influence of scripts on specific processes
Knox appeals over Kercher murder

them, but they did not long stand our rapid
volleys. They ran pell mell, several of their officers
were wounded and fell into our hands together
with a large number of prisoners, and in thirty

Quel français tu causes ? Les langues parlées dans notre cinéma. Table ronde (audio)
La parution du livre de Michel Chion : Le Complexe de Cyrano (éd. Cahiers du cinéma, 2008) est une belle occasion d'engager le débat avec l'auteur, mais aussi avec des cinéastes. Quelle langue parle-t-on dans le cinéma français, ou plutôt quelles langues dans le cinéma d'auteur comme populaire ? Une rencontre animée par Claire Vassé (journaliste et écrivain).
Intervenants :
- Michel Chion (théoricien du cinéma, compositeur)
- Catherine Breillat (cinéa

Table ronde sur le thème de l'édition de cinéma pour le jeune public
Aujourd'hui, pourquoi accompagner les premières découvertes du cinéma par le livre ? Quelles initiatives en ce sens, comment écrire le cinéma, non pas comme c'est l'usage, pour des adultes, mais pour des enfants et des adolescents ? Quelles perspectives à l'échelle européenne ? Points de vue croisés d'éditeurs, d'auteurs et d'acteurs de l'éducation artistique.

Middle School Portal: Math and Science Pathways (MSP2)
The British Broadcasting Corporation offers this great collection of fun, educational games that help children learn basic concepts of mathematics. Twelve interactive games are available in all, illustrating principles of data handling, numbers, algebra, and measurement. Children can practice interpreting Cartesian coordinates by guiding a space ship across a grid, or compete with an animated character in a test of fractions and percentages. In addition to the online games, several other activit
European Questions – Turkish angles: Europe's citizens

Middle School Portal: Math and Science Pathways (MSP2)
This site contains questions that parents can ask their daughters concerning their feelings towards math, science, and career aspirations; provides biographies of role models; and provides links to additional resources. Studies show that girls and boys share an overwhelming number of characteristics. They have the same capacity to succeed in reading, writing and mathematics. And until puberty begins, they have similar physical development, so that coed teams before puberty would have as many out
Future Directions in the Law Regulating Weaponry in Armed Conflict
A discussion on future directions in the law regulating weaponry in armed conflict to mark the release of Bill Boothby's new book Weapons and the Law of Armed Conflict. Bill Boothby has served for 27 years as an officer in the Royal Air Force legal branch. He developed and implemented the British system for the legal review of new weapons, and formed and led the team charged with conducting these reviews. Tom Porteus is London director of Human Rights Watch.
Steps still being taken to undo damage of America's Nuremberg
The year 1947 was a watershed for medical ethics and medical care. Fifty years ago, the Nuremberg Code, created in response to the atrocities of Nazi medicine, called for the informed consent of participants in human research. That same year, penicillin was recognized as the standard of care for syphilis.
Researchers from the U.S. Public Health Service failed to connect these two milestones. They continued to conduct a long-running study in Tuskegee, Alabama, on the course of syphilis in untrea

HEALTHY INDIANA – A MINORITY HEALTH PLAN FOR THE STATE OF INDIANA
We are proud to present the Healthy Indiana - Minority Health Plan for the State of Indiana. This is another significant step forward in addressing the health disparities of minorities in our state. In March 2002, the Institute of Medicine (IOM) released a report with startling revelations about health care delivery for minorities. The report was titled "Unequal Treatment: What Healthcare Providers Need to Know About Racial and Ethnic Disparities in Healthcare." Not surprisingly, the IOM found t

Were Tuskegee & Willowbrook 'studies in nature'?
The book jacket of Bad Blood, James Jones's recent account of the Tuskegee syphilis experiment, describes the project as one in which "science went mad". Apparently the case is exceptional, an aberration from normal biomedical research behavior. But put the Tuskegee experiment alongside the Willowbrook experiments of the 1950s and 1960s, in which retarded and institutionalized children were injected with live hepatitis viruses, and clearly something other than "mad science" was at stake.

Racism and Research: The Case of the Tuskegee Syphilis Study
In 1932 the U.S. Public Health Service (USPHS) initiated an experiment in Macon County, Alabama, to determine the natural course of untreated, latent syphilis in black males. The test comprised 400 syphilitic men, as well as 200 uninfected men who served as controls. The first published report of the study appeared in 1936 with subsequent papers issued every four to six years, through the 1960s. When penicillin became widely available by the early 1950s as the preferred treatment for syphilis, t
