Training Educators to Design and Develop ODL Materials
Welcome to this facilitator’s guide. It contains exciting materials for conducting a workshop to train educators to develop Open and Distance Learning (ODL) resources. As you navigate through this document you will find materials needed for planning and conducting sessions for training educators in the development of ODL learning resources. These materials have been designed so that they can be used for professional development as well as for personal knowledge.

How to scaffold the students to design experimental procedures? A situation experienced by 108 high-
This paper presents a proposition to improve the construction of concepts when doing experimental activities, and, in fact, to improve the construction of sense in experimental activities. This research involved 108, 17-18 year old students designing an experimental procedure for palaeontology learning. We first developed an analyse of the expert procedure and second, we realised a teaching sequence in which students were led to design an experimental procedure to measure the facial angle of a c
Les technologies éducatives standards : un nouvel éclairage sur l'approche qualité d'un système
Cet article montre l'opportunité pour la communauté EIAH de disposer d'un cadre de référence proposé par l'ISO sur les systèmes ouverts et distribués. Ce travail s'inscrit dans le domaine de l'ingénierie pédagogique qui met en uvre les principaux projets sur les technologies éducatives normées. En effet, instancier un tel modèle de référence nous amène à appréhender la vision systémique, l'approche qualité, et le rôle des concepteurs dans un système de formation à distan
An e-Learning platform for SME Manager Upgrade and its Evolution Toward a Distributed Training Envir
The purpose of this paper is to describe the work in progress related to the customisation, the trial and the evaluation of an innovative e-learning platform for manager upgrade in Small and Medium Enterprises (SME) in the framework of an EC funded project named InTraServ and its forthcoming re-engineering process aimed to the adoption of distributed services in the framework of another EC funded project named Diogene.
The present e-learning solution includes several state-of-the-art technologi
How GRID could improve E-Learning in the environmental science domain
This paper will outline the requirements for an interactive e-learning system defined as part of the German research project GIMOLUS [1].
After a short overview over the Open Grid Service Architecture (OGSA) it will be shown that the capabilities of existing e-learning solutions are too limited in order to fulfil these requirements.
The last part will show how a GIMOLUS system could be built using a GRID service architecture and what the benefits are in doing so.

Microbiology On-line
Microbiology Online is joint project of Society for General Microbiology (SGM) and the Microbiology in Schools Advisory Committee (MISAC) to provide support for microbiology education. The project provides teaching resources from SGM and MISAC, advice for teaching microbiology, information on teaching practical microbiology and low-cost training for teachers. Users can follow links to information on why we study microbiology, microbiology safety, facts and FAQ's and additional links.
Human Impacts on Sharks: Developing an Essay Through Peer-Review on a Discussion Board
Through computer technology (WebCT, Blackboard), students develop a paper topic (in this case, the human impacts on sharks) that is peer reviewed by additional students answering guided questions. This Starting Point page details the learning goals, context of use, teaching materials, and assessment method for this activity. Also included are useful references and resources and topics discussed.
Floodplains in the field
In this lab, students measure a topographic and geologic cross-section across a floodplain by simple surveying and augering techniques. Placing the lab context for use, this site provides learning goals and skills, equipment lists, teaching notes and materials, assessment recommendations, and links to further references and resources.

Le développement de l'intelligence chez l'enfant - Olivier HOUDE (video)
Conférence du 25 janvier 2000 par Olivier Houde.
D'où détenons-nous ce précieux trésor qu'est notre intelligence ? Pour René Descartes (1596-1650), la réponse était simple : Dieu a déposé dans notre esprit, dès la naissance, des idées logico-mathématiques claires et distinctes, noyau de l'intelligence humaine. Quatre siècles plus tard, en ce début 2000, quelle réponse apporte la science à cette question ?
Centrifugal Effect
This simulation represents the case of an object sliding frictionless over the surface of a flat disk that is rotating. I will call the object 'the puck', as in ice hockey. The 'Distance' in the simulation is the distance to the disk's rotation axis. The 'Velocity' is relative to the disk; 0.3 velocity means that at the instant of being launched the puck's velocity relative to the disk is 30% of its co-rotating velocity at that particular distance to the rotation axis. That is, close to the rota
View of the Guaranty Building on Monument Circle, 1931
Unlike many other office buildings that only offered street-level retail space, the Guaranty provided retail space on the first two floors. Here, Singer Sewing Machines, Western Union Telegraph Company, and Robinson Optical Company occupy the first floor. Petri Diamonds and Metropolitan Casualty Insurance are located on the second floor.

SP.721 D-Lab I: Development (MIT)
D-Lab Development addresses issues of technological improvements at the micro level for developing countries—in particular, how the quality of life of low-income households can be improved by adaptation of low cost and sustainable technologies. Discussion of development issues as well as project implementation challenges are addressed through lectures, case studies, guest speakers and laboratory exercises. Students form project teams to partner with mostly local level organizations in deve
What is Black History Month? Part 2 of 4
This video is part two of four and discusses Dr. Mae Johnson who was the first African-American to go into space, Ralph Bunch for being the first black American to win the Nobel Peace Prize, and Curtis John Pride who was the first hearing-impaired African-American to play Major League Baseball and in the World Series.

51. The Classical Gold Standard University of Minnesota snowball fight - 2011 Auburn University's GPS mapping of coastal utilities to aid hurricane recoveries Talennet Duits Deze subsite maakt deel uit van Talennet, een netwerk van talenwebsites.
<img src="http://mises.org/Controls/Media/DocumentImage.ashx?Id=6158" vspace="4" hspace="4" style="margin: 10px;" /><br />
University of Minnesota students gathered on the mall Friday for a good old fashioned snow ball fight. The event was organized entirely by students and Goldy even showed up to launch a few snowballs.
Auburn University researchers and students are mapping thousands of utility meters, valves and fire hydrants along Alabama's Gulf Coast -- a project that will help communities recover quicker after hurricanes.
Walking along streets and beaches, they have covered 90 miles and recorded more than 12,000 utility points in Orange Beach and Gulf Shores, typing in the locations on advanced GPS units.
