Oh No! Oil Spills
Developed for second grade. Students will create shoreline habitats on a mini scale. They will think deeply and investigate the effect of oil spills on the environment. To do this, they will put objects similar to animal fur or feathers in an oily situation, as well as put themselves in an oily situation.

Kent State's New Sculpture Walk
Four works of art now appear along Kent State University's Esplanade, the pedestrian walkway through campus, as a part of the Ohio Percent for Art Program. See how the project began and learn more about each individual piece along the Esplanade.
Computational Chemistry: An Introduction to Molecular Dynamic Simulations
This module gives a brief overview of computational chemistry, a branch of chemistry concerned with theoretically determining properties of molecules. The fundamentals of how to conduct a computational project are discussed as well as the variety of different models that can be used. Because of the difficulty of dealing with nanosized materials, computational modeling has become an important characterization tool in nanotechnology.
Making Sense of Complementary and Alternative Medicine: Analysis of a Family Nurse Practitioner Prog
The overall goal of this inquiry project was to evaluate approaches to incorporating complementary and alternative medicine into the curricula of nurse practitioner (NP) programs. Specifically, Burman undertook a comprehensive assessment of how the concept of complementary and alternative therapies is (or is not) addressed in her FNP curriculum. The outcome of this assessment is a 'curriculum component portfolio' with selected pieces of evidence, critical reflection and recommendations.

Mini project : dual processor computation
This is a Mini Project about dual processor computation from the 2009/10 BEng in Digital Systems and Computer Engineering (course number 2ELE0065) from the University of Hertfordshire. All the mini projects are designed as level two modules of the undergraduate programmes.
The objectives of this module are to demonstrate, within an embedded development environment:
* Processor – to – processor communication
* Multiple processors to perform one computation task using parallel processing
Learning and Teaching
The choreographer considers how hypermedia annotation tools such as this could scaffold students' project work and reflection as they track and communicate their work.
Connecting Common Experiences - Armen Berjikly, Julio Vasconcellos (Experience Project)
Armen Berjikly, the Founder and CEO of The Experience Project, and Julio Vasconcellos, VP of Business Development discuss their experience of building a technology start-up that unites people who can improve each other's lives. Berjikly discusses how he built his new venture from fund raising to establishing the company infrastructure.

16.852J Integrating the Lean Enterprise (MIT)
This class addresses some of the important issues involved with the planning, development, and implementation of lean enterprises. People, technology, process, and management dimensions of an effective lean manufacturing company are considered in a unified framework. Particular emphasis is placed on the integration of these dimensions across the entire enterprise, including product development, production, and the extended supply chain. Analysis tools as well as future trends and directions are
RVC 29 - The LIVE Centre and VetConnect
In our latest podcast, Dr Kim Whittlestone and Jeff Bullock describe the role of the Lifelong Independent Veterinary Education (LIVE) Centre at the RVC and their VetConnect project - a high tech means of improving case-based clinical learning experiences for students and vets.
Private Universe Project in Mathematics: Workshop 2. Are You Convinced?
Proof making is one of the key ideas in mathematics. Looking at teachers and students grappling with the same probability problem, we see how two kinds of proof—proof by cases and proof by induction—naturally grow out of the need to justify and convince others.,8 min. Working With Towers- In the third grade, students in the Kenilworth study build towers four-high, and hypothesize about towers three-high. In the fourth grade, they build towers five-high. 20 min. “Gang of Four” In the fourth g
Making of Gypsy Diasporas
Marginalised for centuries and the subject of “many attempts” to theorise their origins, Gypsies’ own accounts of their ancestry have tended to be disregarded. This PDF document describes an AHRC-funded project aiming to provide “a comprehensive overview of Gypsies’ own versions of their diasporas”. In doing so the project aims to investigate the emerging Gypsy “diaspora discourse” which crosses political, ethnic and cultural boundaries to allow Gy

4.125B Architecture Studio: Building in Landscapes (MIT)
This subject introduces skills needed to build within a landscape establishing continuities between the built and natural world. Students learn to build appropriately through analysis of landscape and climate for a chosen site, and to conceptualize design decisions through drawings and models.
This class was taught concurrently with course 4.125A. Some of the assignments are the same, some are different, and the sites for the final project are different. But since they were taught in tandem, it
