An Integrated Approach for Analysing and Assessing the Performance of Virtual Learning Groups
Collaborative distance learning involves a variety of elements and factors that have to be considered and measured in order to analyse and assess group and individual performance more effectively and objectively. This paper presents an approach that integrates qualitative, social network analysis (SNA) and quantitative techniques for evaluating online collaborative learning interactions. Integration of various different data sources, tools and techniques provides a more complete and robust frame
Informal learning in the workplace
This paper focuses mainly on theoretical frameworks for understanding and investigating informal learning in the workplace, which have been developed through a series of large and small scale projects. The main conclusions are included but readers are referred to other publications for more detailed accounts of individual projects. Two types of framework are discussed. The first group seek to deconstruct the “key concepts” of informal learning, learning from experience, tacit knowledge, tran
Bivouac of the 11th Indiana Volunteer Regiment
The soldiers are gathered in small groups drinking and talking. An African American is with one group. Crates holding supplies are marked 11th Regt. The horses are tethered in the background near supply wagons.
Mapping Plate Boundaries
This in-class exercise, profiled on the Starting Point website, is intended to have the students discover plate boundaries based on the uneven geographic occurrence of geologic hazards. The website details the learning goals, teaching notes and materials, and context for this activity. It offers an extensive list of links to additional resources and materials for lecture on geologic hazards and plate tectonics.

Sartre à Venise, une palinodie
L’attachement de Sartre à Venise est profond et durable, mais aussi mystérieux car tout chez Sartre paraît s’opposer à Venise. Sartre trouve à Venise la possibilité de changer radicalement de projet existentiel, d’être « un autre Sartre », d’écrire, à travers une utilisation fréquente de la métaphore, cette espèce de contre-Nausée qu’est La Reine Albemarle ou le dernier touriste, avant d’en sortir, et de revenir à son essai engagé sur Les communistes et la paix.
Le cinéma à l'école
A l’intention des enseignants, ce film, réalisé par Robert Lefranc, présente deux exemples de réalisation de films en super 8mm muets à l’école, l’un en fin de primaire, l’autre au collège.
Dans une classe de garçons d’école primaire, on décide de faire un film. Le film montre différentes étapes de la réalisation de leur entreprise : choix du sujet : le chêne, écriture du scénario sous forme de dessins qui représentent les différents plans du film, tou
Soil Composition
Soil is essential for life on Earth. It is needed for food, air, clothing and so much more. Discussion topics include the terms 'soil', 'dirt', and 'sediment', factors affecting the formation of soils, soil horizons, and the twelve orders of soils.
La véritable nature de la recherche d’information
Il existe une méthodologie de la recherche de l'information spécialisée au même titre que des méthodologies de recherche des différentes disciplines. Cette méthodologie implique d'identifier clairement son objet de recherche et le vocabulaire qui le caractérise, d'utiliser les sources adéquates de recherche dans un ordre logique, de connaître les critères d'évaluation critique de la qualité de l'information et de confronter ses résultats à l'expérience de la vie de tous les jours
Les services de référence en milieu universitaire : de nouvelles orientations!
Communication présentée dans le cadre du programme de formation continue de la Corporation des bibliothécaires professionnels du Québec, vendredi le 11 mars 2005.,L'arrivée des ressources électroniques, l'enseignement à distance et les habitudes de recherche de la génération Web ont obligé les bibliothèques universitaires à adapter leurs services et leurs pratiques. On remarque une évolution vers un modèle de bibliothèque centrée sur l'apprentissage, qui exploite le potentiel des
Individualized Reading Instruction in the Elementary Grades, Winter 2008
Explores techniques for assessment of reading and writing skills and for development of individualized instruction in classroom settings; develops strategies for meeting the needs of individual students through the evaluation, utilization, and adaptation of commercial reading materials and through the formation of principles and techniques for producing effective teacher-prepared materials.
Lexical network size and connectivity in schizophrenia: effects on priming and cued recall
Aberrant semantic associative connectivity may be an underlying characteristic of the cognitive and symptom profile of schizophrenia. Words of varying network size (small or large) and connectivity (high or low) were used in lexical decision and cued recall tasks to test the hypothesis that word processing speed and recall in schizophrenia are modulated by increased activation of associative connectivity. Patients with schizophrenia and controls exhibited increased priming and higher probability
Synthetic repurchase programs through put derivatives: theory and evidence
A Synthetic Repurchase is an open market share repurchase program enhanced with sales of put derivatives on the firm’s own stock. Microsoft, in 1999, using a synthetic repurchase program sold put derivatives on its own stock and received $766 million in premiums and, at the same time, signaled that it is a good-quality company and certified its future earnings. I present theoretical rationale that explains why a synthetic repurchase program provides an efficient signal about a firm’s future

Carbon nanotube reinforced carbon nano composite fibrils by electro-spinning
Fibers of Polyacrylonitrile (PAN) are the precursor of 90% of produced carbon fibers. It is generally thought that the better the degree of molecular orientation in the original PAN fiber, the better the mechanical properties, in particular the modulus of the resultant fibers. Electro-spinning is a unique process in that it is able to produce polymer fibers having diameters ranging over seve ral orders of magnitude, from the micrometer range typical of conventional fibers down to the nanometer r
Essential Science for Teachers: Earth and Space Science: Session 4. The Engine That Drives the Earth
What drives the movement of tectonic plates? In this session, participants learn how plates interact at plate margins, how volcanoes work, and the story of Hawaii's formation.,Students and scientists explore the questions: How can volcanoes and earthquakes help us understand what is driving plate tectonics?
