For example, a screen reader cannot interpret visual content but it can read a description if one has been provided. Multimedia content might need to be supplemented with the same content in other formats. Deaf students need transcripts of audiovisual content.

According to Author(s): 3.3 Quantitative and qualitative evidence The Tables above provide official quantitative evidence: evidence, data or information which is expressed in numerical terms. On the face of it, this clearly shows that recorded crime increased significantly throughout the twentieth century, albeit with some ‘dips’ in recent years. Common sense is confirmed. But there are problems with these data. Remember, we are looking here at crimes recorded by the police. Do you think that all crimes are recorded? There might be different reas Learning outcomes After studying this unit you should be able to: define the broad issue of children as citizens. 2 Solar thermal energy Solar heating of trapped air, water and solids has been used for centuries, but modern architectural design can enhance all three effects for space heating, hot water supply and heat storage. Such passive solar heating relies on short-wave radiation being absorbed by materials so that they heat up and then slowly re-emit long-wave radiation. The most obvious example is inside a greenhouse, where solar radiation that passes through the glass heats the inside air to temperatures well abo Lecture 14 - 5/2/2007 Depositing web links in JorumOpen Mac vs PC Beyond the math visualization - Geometrica and Stochastica 3.2.2 Choice of scale It's important to choose a scale that covers the range of values you have recorded for that particular axis. If the scale is too big, then all of your measurements will be bunched up at one end of the graph, making it difficult to read. It is also very important to keep the scale consistent all along the axis, i.e. don't suddenly change the spacing between the units of measurement on an axis. INN Placement Website 4.4 Structure and stages Piaget's developmental processes can be described in the context of infant behaviour to show how they explain behaviour becoming more adapted, in a step-by-step way. First, the infant develops the ability to combine different schemas in order to achieve new ends. Then, the child represents schemas ‘internally’; they become representations of actions (‘operations’). Finally, by the age of 2 years, the child becomes capable of combining representations into sets of actions. He saw one o 1.2 Earthquake-triggered landslides and tsunami As well as being highly destructive in their own right, earthquakes can also trigger two other very destructive natural hazards. One of these is a landslide. This is a rapid movement of earth materials down a slope, the materials ranging from huge boulders to soil. Landslides can involve the movement of just a small amount of material or enough to bury whole towns in their path. They can have a number of causes, of which earthquakes are just one. The shock of an earthquake may be sufficient t World Cup Special - David Beckham and footballing icons Keep on learning There are more than 800 courses on OpenLearn for you to choose from on Virtual Maths - 2D Shapes, triangle

Mathematically controlled imaging process provides attractive results because of its infinite scaling capabilities with some other elements that contribute to the visualization. Its global/local and precise manipulation of parameters holds potential for realizing an unpredictable horizon of imagery. When it meets the artist's taste, this method could be a strong enough system of creation, and I have been producing images using the surfaces of hyperbolic paraboloid. On the other hand, a method ab
