The field of active galaxies is recognised as one of increasing importance. But how do we know there are different kinds of galaxy? What are active galaxies? How are they powered? This unit examines the different types of active galaxy and looks at the crucial role of the active galactic nucleus and the energy source at its heart.

User Interfaces for a Virtual Learning Environment: Two Study Cases
A recent powerful idea in the design of Web-based learning environments is the usage of virtual places. The employment of interface metaphors is one of the approaches enabling inexperienced users to feel comfortable in such virtual environments. We have designed a Virtual Environment for Distance Education and Training (VEDET), which provides basic virtual spaces, resources, and services. In this paper we discuss the user interface of two Web-based distance learning courses Business on the Inter
Organisational patterns for e-learning centres
In this paper we explore the notion of using organisational patterns in educational design for the development of e-learning centres. We are using patterns to discuss some of the key aspects concerning the implementation of an e-learning centre within an institution, with an emphasis on the purposes and pedagogical principles that will help to successfully support such an initiative. The research approach which informed our pattern development work includes use of a qualitative survey of a set o
This Land Is Your Land, This Land Is My Land
In this activity, students will review and evaluate the ways land is covered and used in their local community. They will also consider the environmental effects of the different types of land use. Students will act as community planning engineers to determine where to place a new structure that will have the least affect on the environment.
Build an Anemometer
Students create their own anemometers — instruments for measuring wind speed. They see how an anemometer measures wind speed by taking measurements at various school locations. They also learn about different types of anemometers, real-world applications, and how wind speed information helps engineers decide where to place wind turbines.
Teaching and learning in diverse university settings: analytic frameworks for integrating different
This paper describes progress on the TLRP project on “Enhancing teaching-learning environments in undergraduate courses”. The project is concentrating on differences and similarities that exist in the teaching-learning environments provided in mainly first and final unit course units in four contrasting subject areas and across the different settings provided in departments within those subjects. We have been collaborating with 17 departments across 15 universities and one college. The data
Pupil groupings within classrooms: social pedagogy within cultural contexts
There have been many studies of teaching and learning in classrooms, for example, involving teaching approaches and styles, learning or broad classroom level structures (e.g. age of pupils, ability, curriculum). These studies offer insights into teaching effectiveness, patterns of learning and broad explanations of classroom effects, yet they add little insight into the complex ecology that characterises children’s development in school contexts. Studies of teaching and learning within classro
Provide Specialist Wine Services
A study of wine production and storage methods in red, white, fortified and sparkling types.
BCGCO2003 Carry out concreting to simple forms
This resource will show you how to pour a concrete slab. The
example used will be for the construction of a cookhouse slab. However, the tasks to
do this also apply to other types of slabs
Inductors
This module looks at the different types of inductors and their attributes.
Develop an exercise program for a beginner client
In developing a fitness program different types of exercises are
combined into sessions that meet the clients' fitness goals and capabilities. In this
scenario the learner uses the results of screening tests to develop a fitness program for a
beginner client. As you start to plan a fitness program make sure you understand the
implications that the client's health and fitness status will have on the way the program is
developed. You will need to consider th
Communicate in the workplace
This unit describes the basic level of workplace
communication that is expected of workers. Tips are given on good telephone skills,
personal presentation, communication skills, types of communication, memos and
meetings. Also advice is given on dealing with workplace accidents and filling out
an accident report.

MEM 18.5AA Bearings - fault diagnosis installation and
removal
In this unit you will learn about types of bearings, how to inspect bearings and other components and how to install and remove bearings, for both plain and rolling element.
Interpret sectional views on an engineering drawing
Sectioning is used to show detail on a drawing that cannot be seen clearly from the outside. The cutting plane (section plane) is the plane that cuts through a component to create a sectional view showing the internal details that cannot be seen from the outside. It's like cutting an apple in half. A cutting plane does not necessarily need to cut the whole object. There are three major types of sections used in engineering drawing: full section, half section, and part section.
Identify the types of engineering drawings used in industry
Engineering drawings show what a component looks like and how to manufacture it. The main types of drawings are assembly drawings, subassembly drawings, detail assembly drawings, and detail drawings. The Australian Engineering Drawing Handbook (Part 1) is produced by Standards Australia and outlines the basic principles and techniques.
Plan for minimal Environment Impact Practices
This unit is about planning for minimal environmental impact. It is of a practical nature - you will need to show your understanding of the unit competencies in practical ways, that is, in the field and over a period of time. It covers the knowledge and skills to plan outdoor activities to ensure that minimal environmental impact occurs. At the end of your study, you should understand key ecological concepts and identify sources and types of environmental impact. You will become aware of land ma
