4.7 Informing students Students need accurate information about accessibility before they enrol on a course. This may seem like common sense, but it is a significant contributor to students’ legal complaints. It is important that details of reasonable adjustments are carefully recorded, including the limitations of alternative formats and accessible design. The second accessibility activity, ‘Specifying, designing and evaluating accessibility’, will look more closely at specifying and evaluating web resources
"My Life, the Theater..." by Allen Zadoff--The Pick of the Week from 60 second Recap®
In this video, teenage students will be introduced to "My Life, the Theater.." by Allen Zadoff. What do you do when you're afraid of the dark? Get a job as a lighting guy for your school's theater production, of course! If only all of Adam Ziegler's problems were so easily solved. But this is high school, and Adam's suffered more than his fair share of tragedies--starting with the accident that killed his father and made Adam's world go black. But all is not tragedy in this parts-funny
1.1 What happens during an earthquake? The Earth is an active planet, with activity occurring in the oceans, in the atmosphere and in the solid Earth itself. This course looks at a dramatic example of solid Earth activity: earthquakes. You probably have some idea from newspapers, television or perhaps personal experience, of just how powerful earthquakes can be. In a matter of minutes earthquakes have devastated cities and killed a quarter of a million people. I was in only a medium-sized earthquake in 1978, but even that ha
Music Printing
From the middle of the 15th century onwards, the intellectual and cultural life of the West was revolutionised by the development of the printing press. This album explores the technological problems and solutions specific to the printing of music and shows how technology has transformed the way music scores are produced today. The five video tracks examine early music printing processes, 20th century photo lithography and the invention Sibelius, the music programme that changed everything. Thi
TALAT Lecture 2405: Fatigue an Fracture in Aluminium Structures
This lecture outlines modern fatigue design procedures and standards, the respective background information; it introduces fatigue design by testing; it presents fatigue data analysis and evaluation; it covers safety and reliability issues in aluminium design. This material has been utilized together with further definitions for classification of structural details to provide a proposal supported by the European Aluminium Association as a National Application Document, which may also be conside

Speaker(s): Dr Rory Brooks, Rebecca Eastmond, Dr William MacAskill, Caroline Mason | Editor's note: We apologise for the poor audio quality of this podcast. Does philanthropy create utopia, and if so for whom? Those receiving, or those giving? Our panel discuss the motivations of philanthropy and its impact, and ask what it really means to make the world a better place. Rory Brooks is co-founder of the international private equity group MML Capital Partners. Rebecca Eastmond is a Philanthropy Ad
2 The what and how of monitoring Monitoring cannot happen without the honesty of staff, and the trust of governors. Gann (1998) Monitoring can take many forms. How the governing body undertakes this role is a matter for their own decision. What is important is that they work in partnership with the professionals and involve themselves in the process of ensuring that policies and plans are being implemented, and that these are
7.1 Introduction Micro fabrication often involves multiple layers of different materials, each following a sequence of process steps, usually deposition/lithography/etching. The microelectronics industry has been a driver for many of these techniques and that momentum has carried over into the MEMS community. The treatment that follows covers examples from both industries. The appropriate deposition technique depends on the purpose of the layer – a thin insulating barrier layer in a transistor or capa
Introduction This unit contains material that is essential to learning about music technology. Here you will explore the concept of sound and be introduced to the physics behind travelling pressure waves as the physical manifestation of sound. You will also learn about the subjective perception of pitch and loudness, in particular their relationship to frequency and amplitude. This study unit is an adapted extract relevant to The Open University course TA212 The technology of music, which is
2.12 Fluid balance Although a person can survive for several weeks without food, without fluids, someone can survive for only a few days. A loss of water equivalent to just 1% of body weight is enough to make someone feel thirsty and to have an effect on ability to concentrate. Such a loss has been shown in some studies in schools to result in a 10% decrease in the mental performance of children. A 4% loss results in dizziness and reduced muscle power. By the time there is a 6% loss, the heart is racing and swe
2.2 Use of language Use of language is extremely important in law. As a law student it is important that you use language in an accurate way. The rest of Part A of this unit will therefore consider the importance of language in law. By now you will have had a few opportunities to look up the 2.1 Introduction to minerals and why we need them Both vitamins and minerals are essential in the diet in small quantities and so they are often grouped together as micronutrients. Which items in the diet are classified as macronutrients? Conclusion This free course provided an introduction to studying Law. It took you through a series of exercises designed to develop your approach to study and learning at a distance and helped to improve your confidence as an independent learner. Red Blood Cells Shear deformation in bubble raft 8 Part B: Evidencing your IT skills This Part requires you to present a portfolio of your work to demonstrate that you have used and integrated your IT skills within your study or work activities to achieve the standard required. For example, you might include learning about new software for a particular task, using databases and other resources more effectively in searching for information, setting up and using different ways of communicating and sharing information, setting up and using computer-based models to predict, expla 2.1 Planning your search Your approach to searching will depend to a great extent on what kind of person you are. In an ideal world, when searching for information for a specific purpose, we would all find what exactly we were looking for at the first attempt, especially if we are in a hurry. However, it's always a good idea to have some kind of plan when you are searching for information, if only to help you plan your time and make sure you find the information you need.
