Introduction to the Line Integral. The instructor uses computer software for demonstration. The screen is dark with small writing, so the viewer may want to open the screen to 'full screen'. The instructor is clear and easy to understand.
Macroporous hydrogels as vascularizable soft tissue â implant interfaces: materials characterizat
Implantable medical devices, such as biosensors and implantable drug delivery systems, function optimally when rapid solute exchange can occur between implant and surrounding tissue. However, almost all materials implanted into the body are encapsulated in a fibrous layer that prevents this rapid communication. Macroporous materials are known to change this response by allowing vascularized tissue ingrowth, however many questions still exist as to the role material properties play. In this work,
What is Calculus, Anyway?
This brief clip (which is a segment of a larger video), provides an introduction to Calculus.  The instructor discusses what Calculus is and compares it to Algebra using side by side slides.  Excellent quality.

Basic Multiplication
In an easy conversational tone, the instructor uses the computer screen (the Paint Program)Â as his 'blackboard' and different colors to emphasis his points. As this is an introduction to multiplication, this video is for elementary students (fourth, fifth, and sixth-grades).
Sample Mean Experiment
The resource consists of a Java applet and expository text. The applet illustrates the distribution of the sample mean of a random sample from a given distribution. The sample size and the sampling distribution can be specified. The applet illustrates the central limit theorem.
Open Teaching in a Digital Age
The digital age has rung in profound changes for the higher education endeavor - not least of which has been a revolution in the way teaching materials are generated shared and re-appropriated by means of the Internet. This is the realm of OER: a new philosophy in teaching and learning which has the potential to open new channels for the flow of knowledge. OER UCT invites you to explore the unlimited potential to boost your individual academic profile as well as that of your department or facult
