Foundations of Math (Part 1 of 4)
This is a video to help with mastering the foundation of secondary school math. The topics on this clip (place value, integers, exponents, order of operations, distributive property, decimal place value..) are what is needed to understand and master secondary math. Text narration on slides with music in the background. This is part one of four parts.

Integrating Social and Behavioral Theory into Public Health: Foundations/Macro-Mezzo Levels
This is the first part of a two-course survey that introduces an ecologic perspective that can be used to map factors that shape the health of individuals and populations.
Cholera Online : a modern pandemic in texts and images
This site is run by the US National Library of Medicine, to download PDFs the latest Adobe Acrobat is required. The site contains links to nearly 100 scanned original texts on cholera published between 1830 and 1900 and plans to incorporate 215 ultimately. There are also images related to cholera including maps, patients and photographic portraits of medical professionals. There are several ways to order the texts - by author, subject, timeline and location. A brief introduction gives some basic
Modeling and simulation in inquiry learning: Checking solutions and giving intelligent advice
Inquiry learning is a didactic approach in which students acquire knowledge and skills through processes of theory building and experimentation. Computer modeling and simulation can play a prominent role within this approach. Students construct representations of physical systems using modeling. Using simulation, they execute these representations to study the phenomena or systems modeled. However, the modeling task is complex, and students can fail to create adequate models, which prevents effe
WILD for learning: Interacting through new computing devices anytime, anywhere
We use the acronym WILD to refer to Wireless Interactive Learning Devices1. WILD are powerful and small handheld2 networked computing devices. The smallest handheld computers fit in one hand easily. The user interacts with the device either by touching the screen with a pen-shaped stylus, or by typing with both thumbs on a small keyboard known as a thumb-pad keyboard. The largest are the size of a paperback book and have a keyboard that is large enough to type on with all ten fingers. Their low
The Triangle Teacher - Pupil - Knowledge in E-Learning Environment
Our proposal starts from the study of the epistemological statute of the didactics of the mathematics (Henry, 1991; D'Amore, 1999), which faces the phenomenon of learning from the point of view of fundaments, in order to give useful and specific considerations for e-learning environment. In particular we will focus on how the triangle, teacher-pupil-knowledge changes when we use e-learning platforms.

Training strategies and knowledge acquisition: Using the same reflective tools for different purpose
The Emma educational system embodies a Knowledge Based System (KBS) that models a problem-solving method defined at an abstract level. In order to allow different explicit problem-solvings, the KBS is based on a Task-Method modelisation. The objectives of this paper are (1) to explain how we take advantage of the flexibility provided by the modelisation by using analysis-modules that can study what the influence of the student's propositions on the rest of the solving is; (2) to highlight that e
Un EIAH d'aide à la production de résumés de textes
Cet article décrit l'architecture d'un EIAH d'aide à la production de résumés de textes. Nous appuyant sur des modèles psycholinguistiques de cette activité, montrant que résumer un texte, c'est mettre en uvre différentes macrorègles sur le texte source [Kintsch & van Dijk 78], nous avons implanté des règles de diagnostic de l'utilisation de ces macrorègles. Cet environnement ne réalise pas de résumé-type auquel pourraient être confrontés les résumés produits. Il évalue
La natura della mediazione offerta dai sistemi basati su micromondi all’apprendimento della matema
In questo articolo prenderemo in esame il sistema ARI-LAB che abbiamo realizzato per sostenere gli alunni nello sviluppo di capacità nel problem solving aritmetico e cercheremo di descrivere alcune caratteristiche che questo software rende disponibile con il fine di valutarne le potenzialità sul terreno didattico. Nel fare ciò assumeremo due riferimenti: da una parte l'analisi della natura del sapere coinvolto nel problem solving aritmetico, descritta nella prima parte di questo lavoro, dall'
Music on a WIM: Andrea Clearfield (Part 1)
First up is Andrea Clearfield's composition Songs of the Wolf. Kristen Richard, a senior in horn performance in the studio of Mary Burroughs, and Alisa Gilliam, a piano faculty member at ECU perform the first movement of this piece—Wolf Songs.
Clearfield, a current American composer, teaches at the University of the Arts in Philadelphia. She writes compositions for a variety of musical avenues including orchestra, chorus, soloists, and chamber ensembles. Additionally, Clearfield recently won
Music on a WIM: Florence Price (Part 3)
The final two pieces, Trouble Done Come My Way and My Soul's Been Anchored in the Lord, were composed by Florence Price. Price, who wrote mainly spirituals, was the first African American woman to be recognized as a symphonic composer in the 1930s. She attended the American Conservatory and the Chicago Musical College to study music. Although she wrote more than 300 compositions, many remain unpublished today. Candace Little, a senior in music therapy and mezzo-soprano, and Catherine Garner on p

The Other Marquette Interchange -- Ray and Kay Eckstein Hall
In recent years, while maintaining its focus on providing an exceptional legal education, Marquette Law School has served as a dynamic public policy forum for all members of the community. Playing off its new location, it has become "the Other Marquette Interchange," a place for the exchange of ideas. Marquette Law School's innovative public policy work is advancing the conversation about critical issues facing our region, such as urban education, transportation, and more. Learn why the Law Scho

Learn how to Write an Essay - Thesis and Research
Different types of essays explains and how to state what the writer is going to do as a thesis statement. This is part of a series. This video moves rapidly and so students have a list of the information as they won't be able to take notes due to the speed. Consider reviewing all the videos in the series on the bottom of the opening page.
