Multimedia plays a large role in each of our lives. Whether young or old, we are exposed to it.

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.

Paradoxically, while natural disasters clearly destroy wealth, they also seem to create wealth and employment when the damages are repaired. But 19th century French economist Frédéric Bastiat argued that this idea is a fallacy and fails to take opportunity costs into account. In this video, philosophy professor Dan Russell of the University of Arizona defines opportunity costs and explains the importance of Bastiat’s realization on contemporary economics.

In the Philippines, the AM radio is still an influential medium. Bringing science and technology to a broad spectrum of listeners is not just refreshing. It’s an innovation in an industry that prizes celebrity and hustle.

Angelo B. Palmones brought sense and reason to AM listenership through “Bago ‘Yan Ah!”, science-oriented program in one of the top AM stations in the country. But his commitment to wider S&T public awareness does not start and stop with the multi-awarded Sunday program.

Palmones initiated and supported many environment protection and science education programs. He has conceptualized “Bantay Kalikasan Hotline,” a media watch against raiders of the environment. He has organized “Invent Clubs” in several provinces to encourage creativity among students and out-of-school youth. He is also deeply involved in science-related activities in campuses and among student and teacher organizations.

A unique “Fisheries School on Air” program that he hosts, now on seventh year, has 90 alumni so far who are into tilapia, seabass, and crab cultures.

Born on August 8, 1966 in Kidapawan, Cotabato, Palmones earned his Bachelor of Science in Commerce at Notre Dame College of Kidapawan [1987], and took up law subjects at the Far Eastern University. He also went to the Asian Institute of Management for an executive development program [1999].

He is also co-founder and current president of the Philippine Science Journalists Association, Inc., and regular member of the National Press Club, and Kapisanan ng mga Brodkaster sa Pilipinas.

Among his numerous awards are DOST Media Award Hall of Fame [winner in 1998, 1999, 2000], Best Newscaster-12th KBP Golden Dove Awards [2002] and 13th KBP Golden Dove Awards [2004].

According to Professor Aeon Skoble of Bridgewater State University, the word “value” has very different meanings for economists and philosophers. Economists view value as subjective to reflect individual tastes and preferences. Philosophers, on the other hand, use the term objectively, to refer to concepts such as rights. In this video, Professor Skoble explains how these different conceptions actually compliment each other.
