Utilising the Blackboard™ Discussion Forum for Developmental Feedback
This short paper provides a brief summary of the usage of the Blackboard™ VLE ‘Discussion Forum’ function during the running of the postgraduate module. The paper outlines reasons for using this technology, the felt benefits and limitations, and how it is intended to use this in my teaching going forward.
Voting Cards in Lectures: Promoting Participation and Providing Feedback

What’s on Your Ipod?: Using Podcasts as a Learning Aid
This report describes the use of podcasts as a learning aid in the Simulation module (BN3324). This project intends to provide an alternative way of learning for those students which have preference for aural learning.
11.364 International Environmental Negotiation (MIT)
This seminar will explore the difficulties of getting agreement on global definitions of sustainability; in particularly building international support for efforts to combat climate change created by greenhouse gas emissions as well as other international resource management efforts. We will focus on possible changes in the way global environmental agreements are formulated and implemented, especially on ways of shifting from the current "pollution control" approach to combating climat
17.869 Political Science Scope and Methods (MIT)
This course is designed to provide an introduction to a variety of empirical research methods used by political scientists. The primary aims of the course are to make you a more sophisticated consumer of diverse empirical research and to allow you to conduct advanced independent work in your junior and senior years. This is not a course in data analysis. Rather, it is a course on how to approach political science research.
STS.007 Technology in History (MIT)
Today many people assume that technological change is the major factor in historical change and that it tends to lead to historical progress. This class turns these assumptions into a question—what is the role of technology in history?—by focusing on four key historical transitions: the human revolution (the emergence of humans as a history-making species), the Neolithic Revolution (the emergence of agriculture-based civilizations); the great leap in productivity (also known as the industria
TWC9: EF June CTP, jPlayer, Kinect Gesture Toolkit, and a flying car This week on Channel 9, Dan flies solo covering the week's top developer news (A technical snafu in our other studio hosed the audio of the first recording of the show with Brian Keller).
Episode 50 - Matt Winkler Builds an AppFabric Application Join Wade and Steve each week as they cover the Windows Azure Platform. You can follow and interact with the show at @CloudCoverShow. In this episode, Matthew Winkler—Senior Program Manager Lead on the AppFabric Team—talks to Steve and Wade about building AppFabric Applications. AppFabric Applications bring new ways o
Visual Studio Toolbox: All-In-One Code Framework Mei Liang is our guest this week. She is here to talk about the Microsoft All-In-One Code Framework, a code sample library provided by the Microsoft Community team. The Microsoft Community team monitors the MSDN forums, as well as other developer hangouts, and then creates code samples that address the issues developers run into. In this video, Mei shows us how to search for samples using the All-In-One Code Framework Sample Browser, which runs as a Visual Studio extension. She then shows us

Propagation of Miniature Roses by Plant Tissue Culture
Tissue culture is a propagation technique widely used in modern agriculture because it allows production of many clonal plants from relatively little starting material. During this lab exercise, miniature roses are propagated by simple plant tissue culture. Students learn the different steps involved in the tissue culture procedure, practice aseptic technique when handling explants, and observe the effects of different hormones and nutrient levels on explant development.
Characterization of Single-Walled Carbon Nanotubes by Raman Spectroscopy
Raman Spectroscopy can be successfully employed to study Carbon nanotubes at single nanotube level. Length, diameter, electronic type (metallic or semiconducting), and whether nanotubes are separated or in bundle can be known by the use of Raman Spectroscopy.

A Migrant's Heart
Jatinder Verma, a man of Indian descent who was born in East Africa and came to England at the age of 14, explains through a trip back to India how he is caught between two worlds, struggling to preserve his cultural heritage while being acculturated into his adopted country. His story demonstrates how migrants think about their sense of place in relation to where they have come from. (27:12)
Berlin: Changing Center of a Changing Europe
Berlin's emergence as Germany's new political capital symbolizes the end of communism and a transformation occurring throughout the country and continent. Many of the issues that Germany now confronts — such as the shift of considerable resources to rebuild Eastern Germany and the rise of neo-Nazi sentiments — are seen in microcosm in Berlin. (27:23)
