This a BRIEF overview of Creative Commons licensing for my colleagues (administrators, faculty, and staff) at Central Alabama Community College. This learning opportunity was funded by a grant from ACHE & ACCS, and due to current policy regarding copyright, the College will have to authorize permission to use, edit, &/or redistribute. It is hoped that these policies are being re-visited for the betterment of OER creation and use in Alabama.

Students have spent a lot of time throughout the unit working on their Personal Website. In the final couple of days students finalize their websites. They work with peers to get feedback, put the finishing touches on the websites, review the rubric and reflect on their process. To cap off the unit, they will share their projects and also a overview of the process they took to get to that final design.

The CSforCA CS Equity Guide is designed for administrators interested in
implementing equity-minded computer science (CS) in K-12 schools, districts, or
counties.

The CU Online Handbook shares some of the great things faculty are doing in their online courses across the university. The CU Online Handbook is also available online as an e-book. This is the 2nd edition of the CU Online Handbook (Lowenthal, Thomas, Thai & Yuhnke, 2009). Themes throughout this edition of The CU Online Handbook focus on how faculty can connect and build relationships with students and how technology can help in this process. Whether teaching online for years or are just beginning, this edition of The CU Online Handbook will help faculty improve the quality of the online courses they design, develop, and teach.

Use this checklist to make sure that all the requirements for open licensing are met. Please note that it is very helpful to review this checklist BEFORE you begin development work so that you are designing your resource with open licensing requirements in mind from the beginning.

Students can sometimes have emotional outbursts in school settings. This fact will not surprise many teachers, who have had repeated experience in responding to serious classroom episodes of student agitation. Such outbursts can be attributed in part to the relatively high incidence of mental health issues among children and youth. It is estimated, for example, that at least one in five students in American schools will experience a mental health disorder by adolescence (U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, 1999). But even students not identified as having behavioral or emotional disorders may occasionally have episodes of agitation triggered by situational factors such as peer bullying, frustration over poor academic performance, stressful family relationships, or perceived mistreatment by educators.

This exhibit was created as part of the graduate course "Digital Libraries" in the Library and Information Science program at the University of Denver in Fall 2015.

Our chosen topic for the digital collection project was The 10th Mountain Division- Camp Hale. The 10th Mountain Division was a mountain warfare unit that primarily fought on skis. Camp Hale was one of their training sites and is located in Colorado. Our goals with this exhibit were to bring about awareness of the 10th Mountain Division and their connection to Colorado, explore different perspectives of this particular warfare unit, and give wide access to a curated digital exhibit that represents a unique part of Colorado history. We strived to demonstrate the variety of perspectives of Camp Hale through a variation of digital objects and content that will be engaging for all types of users: images, newspaper articles, videos, maps, and text.

The lesson will begin with the teacher leading a discussion related to animal traits and the environment using a T-chart graphic organizer. The students will have the opportunity to discuss their ideas with a partner, and then the teacher will introduce the essential question of the lesson: "Can an animal's traits be influenced by the environment?" Next, the teacher will show students a video clip and nonfiction text related to the arctic fox, which is an animal that experiences a seasonal change in its fur color, and record information about the fox's traits and habitat on a T-chart graphic organizer. Then, students will research a different animal to determine how its traits can be influenced by its environment using digital or print sources and take brief notes. Lastly, students will develop an explanatory text in a claim-evidence-reasoning format that includes an illustration to help convey their scientific ideas clearly. This lesson results from the ALEX Resource Gap Project.

This is a Canvas Commons Module for WRI Technical Report Writing.

WRI 227

Focuses on techniques of gathering, organizing, and presenting technical information and graphics. Requires technical reports derived from realistic situations in the student’s major.

Explore how a capacitor works! Change the size of the plates and add a dielectric to see how it affects capacitance. Change the voltage and see charges built up on the plates. Shows the electric field in the capacitor. Measure voltage and electric field.

Capital markets include the stock and bond markets, and this is where businesses turn for funding when they need investors. In this course, students will learn how capital markets keep the economy moving and how they provide opportunities for businesses, entrepreneurs and investors to achieve their goals.

During this module, students take a virtual mobile lab drive with scientists to investigate and learn about atmospheric carbon gases, their sources, and impacts on air quality.

Cards, Cars and Currency is a set of personal finance programs that encourages participants to learn about three areas of personal finance: credit cards, debit cards and purchasing a car. Cards, Cars and Currency includes five individual programs that can be used together or individually to enhance personal finance learning.

Short Description:
CLEJHE is an open-access, double-blind peer-reviewed journal of case studies intended to aid in the preparation of leaders at all levels of higher education.

Long Description:
Cases on Leadership for Equity and Justice in Higher Education (CLEJHE) is an open-access, open education resource journal that publishes peer-reviewed cases for use by leadership preparation programs and those involved in developing leaders for post-secondary institutions. Through an equity lens, the journal strives to publish timely and highly relevant cases that involve and address significant puzzles of practice facing leaders at all levels in higher education. Cases provide narratives, exhibits, and teaching notes that seek to inform and offer suggestions to enhance the practice of the learners and leaders within our community of practice.

CLEJHE is a collaborative project at the University of Colorado Denver involving ThinqStudio and the School of Education and Human Development programs for Leadership for Educational Equity in Higher Education and Learning, Design, and Technology (LDT). The journal editors are doctoral students from the Leadership for Educational Equity in Higher Education program.

In this assignment students receive six air photos of a 4 km stretch of Fountain Creek in El Paso Country, Colorado (38.7 N, 104.715 W) taken between 1989 and 2006 and are asked to evaluate and discuss how Fountain Creek has changed through the years. The main nuts and bolts of the assignment are an analysis of these repeat air photos and production of a map that depicts how the course of the river (or its cut-banks, point bars and bank-to-bank width) changes through time. To make this map, students can use trace paper/Mylar, or software such as ArcGIS or Adobe Photoshop or Illustrator, but whatever their method they use they need to be able to establish a scale allowing them to measure and calculate rates of change. What change to quantify is purposely left open ended - students typically focus on measuring rates of cut-bank erosion, point bar migration, bank-to-bank width changes, channel length or sinuosity variation over the prescribed study area - and is usually linked directly to what they decide to map, such as the course of the river or the extent of the 'active' channel. After producing their map and making measurements, the final part of the assignment is synthesis. In the final questions, students are asked to summarize and describe in words what's happening to the channel through time, with reference to their map and calculations, and to consider the environmental conditions that are driving the changes observed.
