Session 5: Carry on learning - resources for online educators Learning and teaching is a dynamic process. Just like its face-to-face counterpart, online education is not a static. New approaches, strategies and methodologies to facilitating, advancing and supporting online education are regularly developed and shared amongst practitioners. Aspects of delivering learning online might appear challenging to those new to the field. Its dynamism makes it exciting and inspiring.
Purpose/Aim of this Session
A Curious Cash Crop: Butterflies
This BioBulletin Web site takes an in-depth look at butterfly farms. The site includes text, videos, photographs, and interviews with key scientists.
Governors' target setting: primary schools
Target setting for pupil attainment is seen as being a means of raising standards in schools through placing pupil achievement at the core of school planning. This unit will help governors of primary schools ensure that appropriate targets are set and provide guidance on assessing the data that needs to be evaluated to come to such decisions.
Juvenile Zebra fish
The juvenile stage is the third stage in the zebra fish life cycle. In the juvenile stage, the zebra fish is continuing to grow in size. At this stage, the juvenile fish can feed on its own and does not need a yolk sac.
Jungle habitat of the Rio On in Belize, Central America
Tropical rainforests, also known as jungles, have a rich diversity of vines, trees, and shrubs. Jungles have many microhabitats, such as within the canopy where little light reaches the organisms below.
Inner and outer ear anatomy
Sounds are actually waves from vibrations. The outer ear catches these waves and funnels them down into the inner ear. The waves reach the eardrum and in turn make the eardrum vibrate. Three small bones receive these vibrations next, then a snail shell-shaped structure called the cochlea. The cochlea is filled with liquid, and this liquid stimulates hairs inside the inner ear. The hairs transmit the signal to the auditory nerve where the signal is taken to the brain and processed as sound.

Jacob Lurie: Finiteness and Ambidexterity in K(n)-local stable homotopy theory (Part 2)
Jacob Lurie, Harvard University
Abstract: Dijkgraaf-Witten theory is an example of a topological quantum field theory. It gives a procedure for manufacturing manifold invariants from a finite group G and a cohomology class in the n-th cohomology of G with coefficients in the non-zero complex numbers.
Attempting a similar construction where the field of complex numbers is replaced by an arbitrary field k, one encounters some obstacles when the characteristic of k divides the order of G.

Kevin Costello: Supersymmetric gauge theory and derived geometry, Lecture 2
Kevin Costello, Northwestern University
Abstract: Most mathematical work on supersymmetric gauge theories has been through their topological twists. These lectures will be about partially-twisted supersymmetric gauge theories, which are closer to the full physical theory. These partial twists have natural interpretations in terms of derived moduli of bundles.
Chris Schommer-Pries: The unicity of the homotopy theory of higher categories.
Chris Schommer-Pries, Massachusetts Institute of Technology
Abstract: We will describe recent joint work with Clark Barwick in which we provide a
complete axiomatization of the homotopy theory of (infinity,n)-categories. The space of
theories satisfying our axioms is a classifying space of n copies of Z/2 and includes the models of Barwick, Bergner, Joyal, Kan, Lurie, Rezk, and Simpson, among others.
This generalizes a theorem of Toen when n = 1, and it verifies two conjectures of Simpson.
Will youth vote be there for Obama?
Obama is campaigning on his efforts to bolster student loans, but it remains to be seen if young voters will back his campaign as strongly as they did in 2008, says Michigan State University political scientist Sarah Reckhow.

Cloud Protocols
The purpose of this activity is to observe the type and cover of clouds including contrails. Students observe which of ten types of clouds and how many of three types of contrails are visible and how much of the sky is covered by clouds (other than contrails) and how much is covered by contrails. Intended outcomes are that students learn how to make estimates from observations and how to categorize specific clouds following general descriptions for the categories. They will learn the meteorologi

Breakingviews: Telefonica 2013 dividend not safe
July 26 - Telefonica has scrapped its 2012 dividend but pledged to reinstate it in 2013, this looks overly optimistic say Breakingviews.
Java OOP: Runtime Polymorphism through Inheritance
Richard Baldwin
With runtime polymorphism, the selection of a method for execution is based on the actual type of object whose reference is stored in a reference variable, and not on the type of the reference […]
