1.1.3 Comparing data sets using boxplots
This unit is concerned with two main topics. In Section 1, you will learn about another kind of graphical display, the boxplot. A boxplot is a fairly simple graphic, which displays certain summary statistics of a set of data. Boxplots are particularly useful for assessing quickly the location, dispersion, and symmetry or skewness of a set of data, and for making comparisons of these features in two or more data sets. Boxplots can also be useful for drawing attention to possible outliers in a dat

ITTE: Personalisation
This ITTE resource looks at the issue of personalisation in education in the context of ICT teaching. It looks at four key questions:
1. What is personalisation? The nature of educational provision for personalised learning and an introduction to the main issues.
2. What is a personalised curriculum? The curriculum as experienced by teachers and learners and some consideration of the content of the curriculum.
3. What is personalised learning? When and where personalised learning takes place
Effective Teaching of Able Pupils in the Primary Classroom
This is a report describing a small scale study and its findings, from the Oxfordshire Effective Teachers of Able Pupils Project. The report outlines the setting up and development of the study clearly, before reaching ‘tentative’ conclusions. It is divided into nine main sections, following a brief preface and introduction, and ends with a page of useful references. The author uses a variety of sources to illustrate the issues raised, such as ‘points for consideration’, questions, pupil
8 Paired samples T-Tests
Handling statistical data is an essential part of psychological research. However, many people find the idea of using statistics, and especially statistical software packages, extremely daunting. This unit takes a step-by-step approach to statistics software through seven interactive activities. No statistics software is needed.
1.6.3 Mailing lists and newsgroups
This unit will help you to identify and use information in maths and statistics, whether for your work, study or personal purposes. Experiment with some of the key resources in this subject area, and learn about the skills which will enable you to plan searches for information, so you can find what you are looking for more easily. Discover the meaning of information quality, and learn how to evaluate the information you come across. You will also be introduced to the many different ways of organ

21M.606 Introduction to Stagecraft (MIT)
Introduces students to the variety and scope of stagecraft while they learn basic shop skills. Students develop shop vocabulary and learn basic skills, including the safe use of all shop machines, basic handwork skills, names and uses of tools, and an overview of the various activities that go on in each shop. In each seven-week segment, students complete a project that uses all basic skills. From the course home page: Course Description Offered annually in the spring term, Introduction to St
2.13 Systematics and biogeography
This unit is concerned with macroevolution – the patterns and processes of evolution above the species level. A crucial consideration in macroevolutionary studies is that of the evolutionary relationships (phylogeny) of the organisms in question. The unit begins with an introduction to the scope of macroevolutionary studies and illustrates methods of reconstructing phylogeny, from both morphological and molecular data.
1.5.4 Summary The Euro has become an important currency of denomination for government and corporate bonds. There is now emerging a two-currency world, made up of the US dollar and the EU Euro. The advantages to countries of being able to borrow internationally in their own currencies have not been lost to them, so there will be an incentive for the east-Asian countries to develop their own ‘regional’ financial markets.
1.5.1 A ‘two currency’ world? The introduction of the Euro threatens to have a significant impact on the international monetary economy as well as on the economies of the EU countries themselves. As yet this impact is not altogether clear since the Euro has only been operating for a few years. But certain trends are emerging and the possibilities are opening up. It is the main features of these trends that we concentrate upon in this section. A preliminary point here is that the Euro exchange rate is not a policy va
