Introduction ‘Environment’ is one of the more popular words in the management lexicon, most generally understood to be referring to ‘something outside’. But common usage today often interprets the Environment (with or without the capital ‘E’) as referring to the planetary ecosystem. On that basis the Environment includes such things as global warming, the state of the ozone layer, deforestation and the means of energy generation. Organisations need to coexist with their environm

More Self Study English
This is a course for Dutch (Bachelor) students who need or want to pay some extra attention to their English language skills. In this course you will find four modules with theory and exercises on Listening, Grammar, Vocabulary and Writing. We will also give you links to useful websites. We strongly recommend that you do not try to do this course in as short a time as possible: learning skills takes time, so you will benefit optimally from the course if you spend weeks, rather than days on it.
Learning outcomes After studying this unit you should: understand the nature of entrepreneurship; understand the function of the entrepreneur in the successful, commercial application of innovations; confirm your entrepreneurial business idea; identify personal attributes that enable best use of entrepreneurial opportunities; explore entrepreneurial leadership and management style; identify the requirements for building an

General Introduction to Linguistic Science I
This course is designed as a general introduction to the scientific study of human language within the broader context of modern cognitive science.
Twitter For Educators
Twitter for educators provides good logic on why educators should use Twitter and how it can help them form a community, share resources, and meet people worldwide. This is a great resource to enhance technology instruction in the classroom and is an effective tool for school to home communication. (7:51)

Tech Ed North America: Kate Gregory - Modern Native C++ Development for Maximum Productivity Kate Gregory presents Modern Native C++ Development for Maximum Productivity at Tech Ed North America 2011. Go Kate! This session clarifies what features are in Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 and what is yet to come. It illustrates how new constructs such as lambda expressions enable better use of existing libraries and how your code can be simpler, safer and faster all at the same time. Also, s
Learning outcomes By the end of this unit you should be able to: develop an appreciation of the huge variety of different mammals that exist on Earth today; see how fossil evidence can help us to understand evolutionary history; understand how the structure of DNA can help us to detect differences between different species; apply the techniques of DNA analysis to work out which mammals are most closely related to each other; appreciate t
Introduction This unit provides an introduction to the evolution of mammals. We will be considering Darwin's observations on a great many mammals, and how he noticed that species fell into natural groups. We take as an example the evolution of one particularly interesting mammal, the whale, and look at evidence both from fossils and from DNA to see which other mammals are most closely related to whales. We see how the evidence from these two very different sources points to the same relationship and

Experiments in Electrochemistry
Experiments with batteries, made from readily available materials, are designed for upper elementary and high school students to learn about the rudimentary principals of electrochemistry.
Pierce Biotechnology
The pedagogical value lies in its concise description of the various analytical derivatization reactions and reagents used for gas chromatography. This site gives a nice description of the various derivatization reagents and what type of analyte they are used for. One of the few, if not the only, ASDL sites dealing with derivatization.
AJP Martin Nobel Prize Address
This site describes the historical development of partition chromatography. The pedagogical value lies in its historical perspective rather than its description of partition chromatography. This site provided a unique historical perspective on the development of partition chromatography and one of the pioneers of the technique.
Hydrophilic Interaction Chromatography, HILIC/SEC, HILIC/SXC
This site provides good background and operational parameters for the use of a specific type of chromatography, hydrophilic interaction chromatography. Pedagogical value, however, is probably only directed toward a graduate/advanced course in separations. This document provides a very clear explanation of operational parameters and mode of operation for HILIC. Very readable!
