Virtual Concerts in the Park
Time was when orchestras and ensembles wanted to reach out to new audiences, they took their instruments out to the park and shopping malls where teens and young families tended to gather. In today’s world, increasingly, people are meeting online. Some intrepid, tech-savvy musicians and ensembles are out there in the virtual community, presenting virtual concerts in the new virtual park. Who are they? What are their experiences and what are the lessons we can learn?
Utah Virtual Lab for teaching Science, Methods, and Statistics
The Utah online Virtual Lab is a JAVA program run dynamically off a database. Instructors author a statistical virtual reality simulating theories and data in a specific research focus area by defining independent, predictor, and dependent variables and the relations among them. Students work in an online virtual environment to discover the principles of this simulated reality: they go to a library, read theoretical overviews and scientific puzzles, and then go to a lab, design a study, collect
Rice Virtual Lab in Statistics
Resources to assist students in understanding of statistics. Topics covered include Analysis of Variance, Boxplot, Confidence interval, Contrast among means, Correlated t-test, Correlation, Histogram, Independent groups t-test, Regression, Repeated measures ANOVA, and t-test. The applets in the simulations/demonstrations are in the public domain and can therefore be used without restriction. Simulations and demonstrations and source code are available for download.To view a video of the award w

UMUC-Verizon Virtual Resource Site for Teaching with Technology.
The UMUC-Verizon Virtual Resource Site for Teaching with Technology provides resources for use in the selection of appropriate media to accomplish specific learning objectives.The site also provides resources for faculty using technology in research assignments, small group projects, and discussions to encourage activity.
The Virtual Instructional Designer (VID)
The Virtual Instructional Designer (VID) is a Learning Anytime Anywhere Partnership (LAAP) grant-funded project to create a Web-based performance tool for post-secondary faculty designing Web-based distance courses. The purpose of the VID is to provide 24/7 desktop access for faculty to instructional design assistance on the process of developing online instruction or courses.
Virtual Cell Animations
Virtual Cell contains animations developed to introduce students to new concepts including; transcription, translation and the lac operon. By walking through the still images and movies, viewers can easily choose between either studying a specific step from one of the processes or taking a more immersive look at the process in it's entirety.
Virtual Foliage
A compendium of thousands of pictures of plants and plant structures organized phylogenetically. This collection covers most aspects of botany.
Cell-ebration
This site has been created to show students how cells work. It reviews the functions of the cell organelles. This web site focuses on the structure and function of the cell membrane. Students will learn how the organelles interact with each other to keep the cell alive. This web site adds to the knowledge of most middle school students about organelles and expands to how the cell works as a whole. Scientists who study this area are known as cell physiologists. Physiology is the study of the func
Virtual Museum of Fossils
Spectacular photos of fossils arranged by time period, with maps showing continent locations. Maps also show ecosystems.
Virtual Earthquake
Virtual Earthquake is an interactive Web-based activity designed to introduce you to the concepts of how an earthquake epicenter is located and how the Richter magnitude of an earthquake is determined. This is the old version. A newer simulation called Earthquake is now available.
Virtual World Retail Sales Training Demo
This short video clip demonstrates how virtual worlds can be used in sales training. In this case the retail salesperson asks all the right questions and manages to upsell the customer.
Virtual World Irate Customer Retail Sales Training Demo
This is a virtual world video that illustrates how virtual worlds can be used in training, in this case a retail salesperson encounters an irate customer and does not handle it well.
Blood Cell Basics
Students will make a proportional model of blood out of red gelatin, a plastic bag, and rice. They will learn about the different components that make up blood and will investigate what happens when the arteries and veins experience buildup from cholesterol. They will then work in pairs to brainstorm ways to clean our clogged arteries.
Orchestrating cell separation in plants: What are the risks and benefits?
In this podcast, Professor Roberts from the School of Biosciences discusses his research into the mechanism responsible for regulating cell separation in plants. In particular how plants ‘shed’ parts of themselves such as leaves or fruit. Professor Roberts explores the potential application of his research, through prevention or encouraging of the ‘shedding’ proces

2.1 Introduction In this section we are going to review the different needs that drive the creation of corporate governance frameworks. The contingent model of regulation applies to financial reporting: the idea that equilibrium in regulation exists, but is broken by some intrusive event, often a financial scandal. This leads to a search for a revision of the rules, and a new equilibrium is worked out. This is very much a pattern that drives change in corporate governance. Two-Cell Battery Virtual Chem Lab
In this hands-on activity, students build their own two-cell battery. They also determine which electrolyte solution is best suited for making a battery.
This site allows you to insert beakers, flasks, use droppers, mix solutions...just like in a real lab.
