Digital Scholarship and Data Science Essentials for Library Professionals is an open and collaboratively curated training reference resource. It aims to make it easier for LIBER library professionals to gain a concise overview of the new technologies that underpin digital scholarship and data science practice in research libraries today, and find trusted training materials recommendations to start their professional learning journey.
El concepto de innovación educativa resulta cada día más ambiguo e impreciso por la falta de claridad en cuanto a concretar si estamos hablando de acciones y proyectos puntuales o por el contrario nos referimos a una dinámica que se genera en el seno de la comunidad de aprendizaje. Esa es la razón clave que nos lleva a plantearnos la necesidad de indagar sobre este tema.Nuestro objetivo es contribuir a generar esa dinámica de innovación sostenible en los centros educativos de manera que desde la respuesta que cada claustro da a las necesidades del alumnado surjja la vivencia de la innovacion. Para ello ha sido muy importante construir una fundamentación teórica que da soporte a la herramienta que hemos ccreado y utilizado para la recogida de información.Resulta complicado resumir los resultados por ser una investigación centrada en la narrativa, el discuro y la identidad de cada centro en torno a la innovación, sin embargo, podemos recoger que la utilización de la rúbrica construida, nos ha permitido realizar una propuesta de rasgos que pueden ser considerados claves para la sostenibilidad de la innovación.Y, finalmente, señalar que las conclusiones significan una puerta abierta para seguir indagando sobre el tema de la innovación educativa desde la vivencia que tiene lugar en cada uno de los centros educativos.
Students examine a video clip showing dead albatross chicks with their guts full of plastics. They are asked to write down a list of all the steps that lead to the chicks ingesting the plastic. Through pooling of information and group work the class creates a mind map of the steps including those that are geological, oceanographic and anthropogenic. This mind map becomes the tool for organizing the presentation of material through the course of the semester.

ISTE and New America interviewed district and state leaders, who shared key takeaways from their experiences with using PreK-12 open educational resources (OER).
En el presente recurso educativo se busca abordar temáticas de liderazgo LGTB, mediante casos específicos que permitan adquirir nuevos conocimientos a partir de las consideraciones científicas y empíricas dentro del desarrollo humano.
The focus of many open education projects is to provide access to education. But what does access mean? If the materials are not accessible for each and every student, do they fulfill the mandate to deliver fully open education? The open education movement has helped people in different parts of the world access content that they would otherwise not be able to view or interact with. Open education resources reduce costs for students and allow for greater flexibility for instructors. Accessibility can help push the movement even further forward.
The goal of the OER Accessibility Toolkit is to provide the needed resources needed to each content creator, instructor, instructional designer, educational technologist, librarian, administrator, and teaching assistant to create a truly open and accessible educational resource — one that is accessible for all students.
Individual students have different ethical "lines." This class discussion proceeds with a series of prompts that presents a set of scenarios that explores ethical boundaries. Students discuss right and wrong actions with respect to a river and discuss why those actions are "right" or "wrong" as well as how their ethical viewpoints vary.

From the 1960s to the 1990s, economically-disadvantaged school districts, primarily Latino, in Texas struggled to gain more adequate funding for their children's education. At first halted by a Supreme Court ruling, one leader gained additional support and continued pressing the issue, with the result that eventually the Court reversed its stance and required the state to develop a more equitable funding plan.Students will consider the historic actions taken by the communities and the Court and how their own community action can and should make a difference.
Energy access plays a vital role in reducing undernourishment and improving food security. It boosts agricultural productivity, enhances food quality, reduces losses, and enables transportation. However, addressing factors like political instability and poor policies is crucial alongside increasing energy use.
Energy use influences life expectancy. Access to energy services improves well-being and extends lifespan, while deprivation has the opposite effect. Modest energy increases positively impact longevity, especially in low-energy regions. However, beyond a certain point, additional energy use has diminishing returns for life expectancy.
The Human Development Index (HDI) measures overall well-being beyond economic growth, focusing on health, education, and income. Countries with low development levels use less energy, and small energy increases lead to significant HDI improvements. Energy efficiency improvements can be made without compromising quality of life, addressing environmental concerns and promoting equity.
hile higher incomes generally lead to greater life satisfaction, it's not a guarantee. People in countries with high life satisfaction tend to use more energy, which can enhance comfort and mobility. Modest increases in energy use can significantly improve life satisfaction, but there are diminishing returns at higher levels.
While moving up the income ladder is generally accompanied by increased energy use, there are significant variations within income groups. Factors such as the economy's structure, geography, climate, lifestyle, public policy, and consumer attitudes also influence how effectively energy use translates into income.
Population growth does impact energy use, but per capita energy consumption varies greatly across countries due to factors like geography, climate, economic structure, policies, and cultural preferences. Countries with small populations can have high energy consumption, while countries with large populations may use less energy.
Earth Scientists often work independently in laboratory or field situations, and may be confronted with ethical challenges at times when their is no external scrutiny of one's conduct. How can we best train students to "do the right thing" in accordance with professional ethical standards? A number of scenarios are presented so that students must consider the context, conduct, and consequences of their actions.

The purpose of this course is to convey knowledge of the various physical processes associated with slurry handling and transport during dredging. This knowledge is needed for the design of dredging equipment and for planning efficient equipment operations. The various processes are discussed and theories and simulation models that describe the processes are presented and compared during the course. The course can be broken down into four elements: 1. Pumps and engines a. Pump characteristics and cavitation b. Influence of particles on pump characteristics. 2. Hydraulic transport in pipelines a. Two-phase (solid-liquid) flow through pipelines b. Newtonian slurries c. Non Newtonian slurries d. Inclined and long pipelines. 3. Pump and pipeline systems a. Operation point and areas b. Production factors. 4. Case studies
