4.7 Am I saying too much?

Probably not. The people who worry about this are usually the very people who hold a conference together! There's no time pressure, as there might be in a face-to-face discussion. So, even if one person says a lot, there is still ‘space’ for everyone else. Don't worry unless:

  • over half the messages are from you; and

  • your messages are mainly offering your opinions rather than engaging in dialogue with others.

If so

4.6 Not knowing what to say

It's perfectly possible to learn from what other people say without contributing anything yourself. After all, at a face-to-face tutorial some people won't say anything, perhaps because they feel shy. Working online means you can't see other people smiling in encouragement, so it can be hard to take the plunge and join in.

One good thing about online discussions is that they generally happen over a longer period. This gives you plenty of time to think about what you want to say, and eve

3.2.1 How might you use it?

Chat has its limitations for serious discussion, but you may find it helpful to keep in touch with other students. You might ‘meet’ with other students in your group by arranging a time once a week when you can all be online. It can really help to know that there are others out there with problems similar to your own.

3.3 Real time chat

Online chat is a means of having a quick written conversation with one or more people who are online at the same time. Compared with email, there's less of a time lag in waiting for a response. Messages are likely to be more spontaneous, and it can be anarchic when several people reply at once.

3.2.1 Assistive technology

We have arranged the information in the following sections by considering the main groups of disability and the technology that they use, although some students may use more than one assistive device and the same assistive device may be used by students with different disabilities.

It is important to note here that the descriptions in the following sections are rather general and this hides the wide diversity of impairments, abilities and experiences of disabled people. Grouping the cat

5 Performance and pay

The School Teacher's Pay and Conditions Document states that awards of additional points of salary should only be given for ‘sustained high-quality performance’. It should never be assumed that an award will be automatic, and salary points should not be given to a teacher or headteacher for simply doing the job that would normally be expected in order to fulfil their contract or job description.

It is extremely important that the governing body reviews the headteacher's salary annua

1.2.3 Basic principles

Whatever resource you choose to use to find information on the internet, many of the same principles apply. Each source that you use will probably look quite different from the one you tried before, but you'll notice that there are always features that are similar – a box to type your search terms in, for instance, or a clickable help button. Different resources refer to the same functions using different terminology, but the principles behind them are exactly the same. The trick is to chec

1.2.2 Choosing keywords

Keywords are significant words which define the subject you are looking for. The importance of keywords is illustrated by the fact that there is a whole industry around providing advice to companies on how to select keywords for their websites that are likely to make it to the top of results lists generated by search engines. We often choose keywords as part of an iterative process; usually if we don't hit on the right search terms straight off, most of us tweak them as we go along based on t

SMU Lyle Students: "I ROBOT"
First year engineering students in SMU's Lyle School worked in multi-disiplinary teams during their fall 2012 design class to build robots capable of duplicating the water testing and remediation work Lyle faculty and students are doing in United Nations refugee camps. "When it actually works, it's amazing!" said Lyle student Jordan Kayse. This video captures all the energy of "demo day" in SMU Lyle's Innovation Gym.
