#OER Collections. Module 1: Introduction – Open Washington: Open Educational Resources Network. Greetings!
Welcome to How to use Open Educational Resources, a self-paced workshop. So, what is this course all about? This course walks you through techniques to incorporate Open Educational Resources (OER) into your teaching practice. Why the Switch to OER Is Easier Than You Think. Textbooks Why the Switch to OER Is Easier Than You Think Taking into account library articles, web links, videos, simulations and more, many courses are already using a number of open education resources — and the move to full OER doesn't necessarily mean a total revamp, according to research out of Excelsior College.
OER Explained - Faculty Guide to Open Educational Resources (OER) - LibGuides at Highline Community College. According to the Scholarly Publishing and Academic Resources Coalition: "Open Educational Resources are teaching, learning, and research resources released under an open license that permits their free use and repurposing by others.
OERs can be full courses, course materials, lesson plans, open textbooks, learning objects, videos, games, tests, software, or any other tool, material, or technique that supports access to knowledge.

The Fifth Principle in the Code of Best Practices in Fair Use for Academic and Research Libraries is entitled "Reproducing material for use by disabled students, faculty, staff, and other appropriate users.
" It describes in some detail the circumstances in which making and providing copies of collection materials in formats that are accessible to persons with disabilities constitutes fair use, as well as certain limitations to which that general principle is subject. The accompanying text notes that for persons with non-print disabilities (hearing-impaired individuals who need close-captioned or narrated video, for example), fair use may be the only available alternative. It also suggests that there is clear authority for treating the preparation and making available of accessible copies as a fair use under Sec. 107. What, then, is the importance of fair use?

InstaGrok.com. At-Risk. At-Risk is an interactive, game-based simulation that aims to reduce the stigma associated with mental illness in order to reduce the number of students with undetected or untreated conditions.
Tailored for use among university faculty and staff, At-Risk addresses the fear and stigma of mental illness that may prevent university faculty and staff from approaching and assisting students exhibiting symptoms of mental illness, such as depression, anxiety, and thoughts of suicide. In the 45-minute simulation, players assume the role of a faculty member who is concerned about five of his students. The player analyzes profiles of these virtual students to identify the three who are at-risk and then engages in simulated conversations with each of them to determine whether and how to refer them to the counseling center.
The virtual students are fully animated and possess their own emotional intelligence and memory. Price: Free. NOVA Labs. 18 and Up. G4C Award Nominees. Amazon Interactive.

Go-Lab Portal. The Go-Lab Portal represents the technical framework of the Go-Lab Project.
It offers science teachers and their students the opportunity to conduct personalized scientific experiments with help of numerous innovative teaching tools and resources. The Go-Lab Portal enables school teachers to find appropriate online labs and supportive inquiry learning apps and to assemble the selected tools in customizable Inquiry Learning Spaces (ILSs) structured according to the phases of the Inquiry Learning Cycle. Furthermore, there is the possibility to adapt already available ILSs according to the teacher’s own lesson plan, and to share the ILSs with the students to be used in the classroom.
Each of these online laboratories and Inquiry Learning Spaces relates to one or several Big Ideas of Science. Intro to Psychology - Crash Course Psychology #1. PhET: Free online physics, chemistry, biology, earth science and math simulations. Hands-on experiments. Ciênsação has been developed with the support of UNESCO Brasil to promote a culture of short hands-on experiments and skill-fostering science education.
We understand that the pressure of a dense curriculum and the urge to prepare for the next exam leave little time for elaborated experiments. 101 - Mobile-first learning tools built specifically for college STEM courses.

You've surely seen spheres and cubes before. In this lesson, you'll learn about polyhedra — three-dimensional shapes whose faces are polygons — and you'll also learn about two special types of polyhedra: prisms and pyramids. Polyhedra A die is in the shape of a cube. A portable DVD player is in the shape of a rectangular prism. A three-dimensional shape whose faces are polygons is known as a polyhedron. The faces of a cube are squares. The other parts of a polyhedron are its edges, the line segments along which two faces intersect, and its vertices, the points at which three or more faces meet.

MSPhysicsMSPhysics is a real-time physics simulation plugin for SketchUp, similar to SketchyPhysics.
Unlike SketchyPhysics, MSPhsyics is written completely from scratch, integrating the latest NewtonDynamics physics SDK. The difference between the two is that MSPhysics is significantly faster, has a more advanced scripting API, and comes with a reliable Replay animation tool, which allows recording simulation and exporting to SkIndigo, KerkyThea, and a sequence of images. Another difference between MSPhysics and SketchyPhysics is having advantage over user input. In SketchyPhysics there was a struggle in creating keyboard and mouse controlled games. Whenever simulation would run, there had to be an active control panel window that would redirect user input, that is to prevent the interference of SketchUp's keyboard and mouse shortcuts. At the moment, the project is under development. Huge credit goes to Julio Jerez for writing the NewtonDynamics physics engine.

Internet Archive: Digital Library of Free Books, Movies, Music & Wayback Machine. The Raptor Reloaded – Enabling The Future. The team behind the original Raptor has released the Raptor Reloaded, an updated and re-factored version of the Raptor Hand. The entire device was modeled in Fusion 360, a free CAD tool that can import and export most standard solid body modeling formats such as STEP and IGES. By designing the hand in a tool compatible with numerous CAD packages, we hope to lower the barrier to contribution to the e-NABLE project for engineers and designers. Previously, if a designer wanted to make a small adjustment to a part of a hand, they’d have to rebuild the entire part in their CAD software before they could make the change.
Now they can download the source files and just spend their time making the specific change they had in mind. With this new set of source files, we hope to improve the pace of research and development within the design community. Shawn Shields. Video Gallery. Shakespeare Uncovered. Shakespeare Uncovered combines history, biography, iconic performances, new analysis, and the personal passions of its celebrated hosts to tell the stories behind the stories of Shakespeare’s greatest plays. The Series 2 resources (A Midsummer Night’s Dream, King Lear, Romeo and Juliet, and Othello) were created in partnership with the Folger Shakespeare Library. The resources for the first series (Macbeth, the comedies Twelfth Night and As You Like It, Richard II, Henry IV and Henry V, Hamlet and The Tempest ) were created in collaboration with an advisory board comprised of high school educators and Shakespearean scholars.

What if you could have free access to countless classes on topics from A to Z, just by connecting to the internet? OpenCourseWare makes that a reality by publishing high-quality college materials online. OpenCourseWare's free online college courses gained popularity after the Massachusetts Institute of Technology launched the program in 2002. MIT wanted to "enhance human learning worldwide by the availability of a web of knowledge. " They also thought that along with providing valuable free classes online, students would be better prepared for coursework in the actual classroom. Anyone can access OpenCourseWare online, whether they are a registered student or not. Open UMass Boston.
