Designing an Earth System Course
This Starting Point module describes the process of putting together a course in Earth System Science course. Users will find information on what an ESS course is, why this approach is useful and how to actually create the class. This module supports faculty efforts to structure Earth system science ...
Designing a Spectroscopy Mission
Students find and calculate the angle that light is transmitted through a holographic diffraction grating using trigonometry. After finding this angle, student teams design and build their own spectrographs, researching and designing a ground- or space-based mission using their creation. At project end, teams present their findings to the class, as if they were making an engineering conference presentation. Student must have completed the associated Building a Fancy Spectrograph activity before
15.394 Designing and Leading the Entrepreneurial Organization (MIT)
This subject is about building, running, and growing an organization. Subject has four central themes:
How to think analytically about designing organizational systems
How leaders, especially founders, play a critical role in shaping an organization's culture
What really needs to be done to build a successful organization for the long-term and
What one can do to improve the likelihood of personal success.
Not a survey of entrepreneurship or leadership; subject addresses the principles o
2.993 Designing Paths to Peace (MIT)
Teaches creative design based on the scientific method through the design, engineering, and manufacture of a detailed inlaid tile. This is an introductory lecture/studio course designed to teach students the basic principles of design and expose them to the design process. Throughout the course, students will be introduced to the terminology and concepts that underlie all forms of visual art; which--in many ways--forms the basis for the design of all physical objects. Along with learning mechani
HST.939 Designing and Sustaining Technology Innovation for Global Health Practice (MIT)
Innovation in global health practice requires leaders who are trained to think and act like entrepreneurs. Whether at a hospital bedside or in a remote village, global healthcare leaders must understand both the business of running a social venture as well as how to plan for and provide access to life saving medicines and essential health services.
Each week, the course features a lecture and skills-based tutorial session led by industry, non-profit foundation, technology, and academic leaders t
PE.550 Designing Your Life (MIT)
This course provides an exciting, eye-opening, and thoroughly useful inquiry into what it takes to live an extraordinary life, on your own terms. The instructors address what it takes to succeed, to be proud of your life, and to be happy in it. Participants tackle career satisfaction, money, body, vices, and relationship to themselves and others. They learn how to address issues in their lives, how to live life, and how to learn from it.

Designing an Invention, Fundamental Concepts
NASA Sci Files segment exploring the fundamental concepts to designing an invention including doing research and recording detailed observations. Produced specifically for students and is suitable for elementary and older students.
(This is an Emmy award-winning series of instructional programs that introduces students in grades 3-5 to NASA and integrates mathematics, science, and technology through the use of Problem-Based Learning (PBL), scientific inquiry, and the scientific method.
Montage
Montage is a full-text ejournal on topics in the history of art and architecture. It is published online by the University of Iowa Art History Society, offering scholarly articles, book reviews and exhibition reviews, all written by graduate students from across the U.S.A. At November 2009 the journal has published two issues, ranging broadly across art history, film, architecture, and even archaeology. Example article titles include: 'Pika-Don and Motion Pictures: The Atomic in Film'; 'All Sa
From eLearning to eUniversity
This paper analyses the specifics and the tendencies in building the knowledge society as
well as the role of the universities in this process. Some European policies and programs dedicated to the
new role of the universities in realizing the Lisbon Strategy are analysed as well. It is emphasized on the
importance of integration of the knowledge triangle (education, research and innovation) into a research
university and on the urgent need to re-design the university activities according to
Favoriser lintérêt des filles pour la génétique par linvestigation
Depuis plusieurs années, il a été remarqué un désintérêt des jeunes en général, et en particulier des filles, pour les sciences. Cet état de fait est un des critère pris en compte pour concevoir une séquence denseignement visant lapprentissage de la structure de lADN et la notion de mutations, en classe de seconde. La séquence sera développée dans le cadre du projet européen SCY (Science Created by You), dont lobjectif est de créer des situations dinvestigations suppor
Evaluate the interactive and reusable service in adaptive on demand applications
In this paper, the researcher based on the open platforms and tools for personalized learning idea, with the Interactive & reusable function in UI design model, directly dealing with Knowledge on demand (KOD) service from the aspect-oriented and object-oriented issue. Moreover, to propose the KOD combine with VOD (Video on Demand); AOD (Audio on Demand); COD (Course on Demand) and IOD (Information on Demand in Global index searching) in diversity of hypermedia metadata.
Surmonter linterférence culturelle et linguistique à laide de CALL
This research project aims to design a CALL system (Computer-Assisted Language Learning). The goal of the system is to help users overcome cross-linguistic difficulties, that is to say, transfer and interference stemming from a native language (L1) in the process of acquiring a second or foreign language (L2). It is built following an ontological engineering methodology, which is well-known in
the artificial intelligence community. In this article, we describe what is cross-linguistic influence,
