1 Caring: a family affair
Care is needed at all stages of life. This unit makes care in the family its focus because the overwhelming majority of care, including health care, is supplied in families, much of it in private, much of it unnoticed and unremarked upon. The meaning of the term (informal carer) and the word (care) itself are explored.

The I-35W bridge collapse in Minneapolis in August 2007, resulting in at least 13 deaths, illustrates the importance of structural integrity. This unit looks at the investigation that followed the collapse of the Silver Bridge over the Ohio River in 1967 which demonstrates how the study of safe design and the assessment of components and structures under load is of increasing importance in engineering design.

Population Density of the World, 1990-2015 (WMS)
This animation shows the population density of the world in the years 1990, 1995, 2000, as well as a projected population density map in 2015. These figures have been adjusted to match United Nations totals. The most dramatic differences in population are not readily visible in this animation because they are located in cities. The maximum population density in 1990 was about 79,000 people per square kilometer, while the estimated maximum population density in 2015 will be about 236,000 people p

What Every Educator Should Know About No Child Left Behind and the Definition of Proficient
With the enactment of No Child Left Behind (NCLB) in December of 2001, states across the nation have been working diligently to ensure that their students are proficient. They have been mandated to create accountability systems with curriculum standards and aligned benchmark assessments and to make certain that by the year 2014 all students within their state are proficient. However, with this federal mandate came 50 different accountability systems and numerous definitions of proficient. Becaus

"True or False" by Adelaide Anne Proctor (poetry reading)
Victorian chicklit. She-Who-Must-Be-Obeyed tells me that's the only snide remark I'm permitted to make.
Adelaide was British, not Australian, in case you were thinking so. She was the most popular female poet of her day. Would-be poets should consider forgotten poems like this, take warning and try a lot harder. It may not be a great poem but it's pretty damned good.

Moving Social Security Online (Conference) - Session 5 [Audio]
Speaker(s): Mark O'Neill, Jerry Fishenden, Martin Ferguson | LSE Public Policy Group, LSE Moving Social Security Online Conference, Wednesday 29 June 2011. In the present fiscal climate, governments must cut the costs of delivering services at the same time as maintaining quality. They must also cope with the demands of increasing numbers of the unemployed and the aging. A key imperative therefore is to move the bulk of social security processes and transactions online.

4 Language study skills
Learning languages and finding out about other countries can be fun, as well as useful, and this unit is an introduction to the differences in culture and language about which we all need to be aware. There are 10 independent sections: any selection of them can be studied in any order. Some are about why knowledge of other languages and cultures can be important; others are about what it’s like to study a foreign language or to have a career using a foreign language. This unit is aimed at seco

7.1 Climate models
This unit provides an introduction to global warming. We will be considering the history of global warming by looking at the pattern of ice ages and analyisis of recorded temperatures. We will aim to gather meaningful information from this data. We will briefly assess the impact and influence of humans on global warming and, finally, we will examine climate models and how to predict future changes.
5.13 Other primary vibrators
How do different instruments produce the sounds we classify as music? How do we decide whether something – a piano, a vacuum cleaner – is actually a musical instrument? In this unit we investigate the way vibrations and sound waves are harnessed to create music.
