Rectangle Division - Virtual Manipulative
Use this virtual manipulate to explore and practice division using pictures.
The grid shows a big number divided by a little number. The big number is the total number of blue and red blocks. The little number is the height of the blue rectangle. The number of red blocks is the remainder left over when the big number is divided by the little number
Mandelbrot and Julia Sets - A Virtual Manipulative
This virtual manipulative allows you to examine and experiment with the infinitely complex structure of Mandelbrot and Julia Sets. There are instructions to the right of the manipulative.
Polygon Fractals - A Virtual Manipulative
Using this virtual manipulative you may draw polygon fractals. Each is created by using a random probability process. There are more instructions to the right of the manipulative.
Tessellations – A Virtual Manipulative
Tessellations – Using regular and semi-regular tessellations to tile the plane. There are directions to the right of the manipulative. The learner can use this virtual manipulative to explore which shapes tessellate and which do not.

Arkansas State Flag and Arkansas State Song
Five Star Flags brings you the flag of Arkansas seen waving against a blue sky. The flag has a diamond on a red field represents the only place in North America where diamonds have been discovered and mined. The twenty-five white stars around the diamond mean that Arkansas was the twenty-fifth state to join the Union. The top of four stars in the center represents that Arkansas was a member of the Confederate States during the Civil War. The other
Using composite materials to replace bone
In this podcast, Professor Chris Rudd, Dean of the faculty of Engineering at the University of Nottingham, describes his work with composite materials in the car industry and how it can be applied to the field of medicine.
Traditionally, patients who have lost bone in an accident or have had bone removed due to cancer have had to endure two very long and very painful operations. One operation to attach steel plates to the bone, and a second operation once the bone has healed, to remove them.

22.611J Introduction to Plasma Physics I (MIT)
In this course, students will learn about plasmas, the fourth state of matter. The plasma state dominates the visible universe, and is of increasing economic importance. Plasmas behave in lots of interesting and sometimes unexpected ways.
The course is intended only as a first plasma physics course, but includes critical concepts needed for a foundation for further study. A solid undergraduate background in classical physics, electromagnetic theory including Maxwell's equations, and mathema
Design of an eLearning System for Accreditation of
Non-formal Learning
This paper deals with issues related to the non-formal learning in vocational
education, and the role of ICT for providing appropriate accreditation model in such
education. The presented conclusions are based on the Leonardo da Vinci project
LeoSPAN. The paper emphasises on the development of a model and a prototype
of an adaptive eLearning system that ensures the pre-defined learner outcomes.
One of the advantages of the eLearning system is the flexibility for people who
