The materials in this module -- which include PowerPoint slides, two activity worksheets, and a LibGuide -- were developed for a 90-minute "back to basics" professional development workshop for college faculty and staff. The content provides a basic introduction to open educational resources, copyright, and open licenses.

This open education resource is a collection of collection of Concepts of Operating Systems in Question & Answer form that are useful as out-of-class activity while flipping the classroom.

This lesson explains what peer review is, why it's important, and how to practice peer review. Peer review is a valuable communication skill that employers seek out in potential employees. Strategies for how to apply this skill to the job hunt are discussed within the lesson.This lesson was adapted from The Peer Review Kit: A Resource for Educators, developed by learning designers at ed2go, a Cengage company.

This online module is designed to appeal to learners of all ages that want an introduction to the skills necessary to play piano. This course will cover basic finger patterns, scales, and how to start reading music through the amalgamation of multiple online resources intended to appeal to the different learning styles of all students. By the end of this module, the learner should be able to perform the C scale, name the individual notes, and be able to demonstrate simple finger techniques. Please note that having a physical piano while completing this lesson will facilitate a much higher comprehension of the material. 

This video introduces freshmen to the importance of social skills and networking in both personal and professional contexts. It explains how good social skills, such as active listening and empathy, can help build meaningful relationships and a supportive community. Additionally, it highlights how networking can connect students with mentors, internships, and professional opportunities, setting the foundation for career growth and success. The video encourages students to practice and develop these skills, emphasizing their long-term benefits for a successful college experience. 

The development of systems and network concepts for students can begin with this highly interactive inquiry into cell phone networks. Cell phones serve as a handy knowledge base on which to develop understanding. Each cell phone represents a node, and each phone’s address book represents an edge, or the calling relationships between cell phones. Students conceptualize the entire cell phone network by drawing a graphic that depicts each cell phone in the class as a circle (node) connected by directional lines (edges) to their classmate’s cell phones in their address book. Students are queried on the shortest pathway for calling and calling pathways when selected phones are knocked out using school and classroom scenarios.

Students then use a simulation followed by Cytoscape, visually graphing software, to model and interrogate the structure and properties of the class’s cell phone network. They investigate more advanced calling relationships and perturb the network (knock out cell towers) to reexamine the adjusted network’s properties. Advanced questions about roaming, cell towers and email focus on a deeper understanding of network behavior. Both the paper and software network exercises highlight numerous properties of networks and the activities of scientists with biological networks.

Target Audience:
This is an introductory module that we recommend teaching before each of our other modules to give students a background in systems. This module can be applied easily to any content area and works best as written for students between 6th and 12th grades but can be adapted for other ages. The lessons work best when in-person with students. If you are looking for an Introduction to Systems for remote learning, please use our Systems are Everywhere module.

This resource will help students prepare to read Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird. The Official Movie Trailer with questions helps the students to preview the novel itself, while the webquest introduces students to the time period of the novel. Understanding the racial tensions of the time period are crucial to understanding the conflicts of the novel, so students will learn about time-period trials and conflicts that were prevalent especially in the south.

The goal of the course is to give computer literacy and skills to teachers of the PEP-TEC school located in the sub-urban province of Monrovia, the capital of Liberia. The first course is introduction to Windows which is a pre-requisite to MS Word, Excel that will also form the core modules of this curriculum. The curriculum leads teachers/learners to creading e-portals for remote learning.

"Introduction to Business Law in Papua New Guinea" supports LEGL1007 students at Southern Cross University. It is organised into five parts: studying business law, negligence, contract law, consumer law, and agency in the Papua New Guinea legal system. While it is an introductory text designed to support students enrolled in a particular unit, it is also suitable for other interested users and anyone seeking to learn more about business law.

This lesson is designed for beginner English learners looking to understand how to use the articles a/an with nouns.

We now know how to analyze pure compounds, but what if we have a mixture? Spectrophometry becomes quite complex when dealing with multiple species of compounds at once. In order to purify a compound we can separate if from a mixture based on its intrinsic chemical properties. Remember that fluorescein is negatively charged at a pH above pKa of the carboxyl group. We can take advantage of this fact and use its attraction to positive charges to separate it from other molecules. In ion-exchange chromatography, we will use a stationary phase with a positive charge, allowing negatively charged molecules to bind and positively charged species to flow through. We can then disrupt this interaction and retrieve our now-purified molecule, and use spectrophotometric analysis of our purified fractions to determine how well we were able to separate our molecules.

The following topical questions and selected resources are designed to guide you through the current debate on the origin of Yellowstone hotspot: does it originate from processes operating only in the shallow portions of the Earth's mantle, or from a deeper-seated feature, perhaps a mantle plume generated at the core-mantle boundary? The resources linked from this page include an assortment of web- and non-web resources, published papers, abstracts, and graphics. Direct links to web resources are followed by a "more info" link that gives a short description of the web resource. These resources by no means comprise a comprehensive treatment of the literature on the subject, but should at least give you a place to start in your study of the origin of the Yellowstone hotspot.
