John Covach: Are Tribute Bands Rock Music's Future?
Professor John Covach explains how tribute bands play an important role in preserving rock's musical legacy. Covach is the author of the widely used textbook What's That Sound? An Introduction to Rock and Its History and chair of the music department at the University of Rochester. He is often quoted in the press on history of rock and roll, popular music and The Beatles.
Learning Content and Interoperability
In the era of Internet and new information and communication technologies one
of the most important things is appropriate use of technologies in order to achieve desired results.
In present paper, they are compared two case studies – on one hand there they are presented
research results about interoperability in two open-source learning environments developed
in Sofia University, Bulgaria and, on other hand, there are given results from “South West
Wales Interoperability Project”, sponsore
Shear deformation in bubble raft
Bubble raft undergoing shear deformation. The direction along which dislocations generally move is that with the highest resolved shear stress. From TLP: Introduction to dislocations, http://www.msm.cam.ac.uk/doitpoms/tlplib/dislocations/dislocation_motion.php
A note on organizational learning and knowledge sharing in the context of communities of practice
The knowledge management (KM) literature emphasizes the impact of human factors forsuccessful implementation of KM within the organization. Isolated initiatives for promoting learning organization and team collaboration, without taking consideration of the knowledge sharing limitations and constraints can defeat further development of KM culture. As an effective instrument for knowledge sharing, communities of practice (CoP) are appearing to overcome these constraints and to foster human collabo

Designing for Collaboration and Mutual Negotiation of Meaning Boundary Objects in Networked Learn
This paper addresses the issue of collaborative learning and networked learning within continuing professional
development. Collaborative learning is defined as the meeting of specific differences and dependencies among
participants and practices within and across communities, afforded and constrained by the pedagogical design.
The study explores how boundary objects serve as resources to support collaborative learning as a means of
representing, learning about, and transforming knowledge. Based

What’s Gotten Into You?
In this activity, students use models to investigate the process and consequences of water contamination on the land, groundwater, and plants. This is a good introduction to building water filters found in the associated activity, The Dirty Water Project.
Composting – Nature’s Disappearing Act
In this activity, students explore the idea of biodegradability by building and observing a model landfill. This serves as an introduction to the idea of composting. Students learn about the role of engineering in solid waste management.
Pupil groupings within classrooms: social pedagogy within cultural contexts
There have been many studies of teaching and learning in classrooms, for example, involving teaching approaches and styles, learning or broad classroom level structures (e.g. age of pupils, ability, curriculum). These studies offer insights into teaching effectiveness, patterns of learning and broad explanations of classroom effects, yet they add little insight into the complex ecology that characterises children’s development in school contexts. Studies of teaching and learning within classro
The RCBN Consultation Exercise: Stakeholder Report
One of the early objectives of the ESRC Teaching and Learning Research Programme (TLRP) Research Capacity Building Network has been to undertake an extensive consultation exercise in order to identify the priorities for research capacity-building and to generate a database of expertise from across the UK educational research community. This report provides an account of the first element of the consultation exercise, interviews with twenty-five key stakeholders each representing the major consti
