Flipping the Classroom
Printable Version “Flipping the classroom” has become something of a buzzword in the last several years, driven in part by high profile publications in The New York Times (Fitzpatrick, 2012); The Chronicle of Higher Education (Berrett, 2012); and Science (Mazur, 2009); In essence, “flipping the classroom” means that students gain first exposure to new material outside of class, usually via reading or lecture videos, and then use class time to do the harder work of assimilating that knowledge, perhaps through problem-solving, discussion, or debates. Bloom's Taxonomy (Revised)In terms of Bloom’s revised taxonomy (2001), this means that students are doing the lower levels of cognitive work (gaining knowledge and comprehension) outside of class, and focusing on the higher forms of cognitive work (application, analysis, synthesis, and/or evaluation) in class, where they have the support of their peers and instructor.

Semantic Web
The Semantic Web is a collaborative movement led by international standards body the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C).[1] The standard promotes common data formats on the World Wide Web. By encouraging the inclusion of semantic content in web pages, the Semantic Web aims at converting the current web, dominated by unstructured and semi-structured documents into a "web of data". The Semantic Web stack builds on the W3C's Resource Description Framework (RDF).[2] According to the W3C, "The Semantic Web provides a common framework that allows data to be shared and reused across application, enterprise, and community boundaries".[2] The term was coined by Tim Berners-Lee for a web of data that can be processed by machines.[3] While its critics have questioned its feasibility, proponents argue that applications in industry, biology and human sciences research have already proven the validity of the original concept.

Touch Textiles | open09 turtle
During their first semester BA Hons Textiles students at Uclan undertake a series of workshops designed to raise their sensory awareness. The first exercise relates to touch. This workshop involves each participant in an investigation of an unseen, mystery object, while blindfolded. Working in pairs, the non blindfolded, ’sighted’ partner observes, and writes down the descriptive narrative spoken by the ‘touching’ partner, who is asked to memorise the experience as much as possible. In some instances the blindfolded students instantly recognised the name of the object they were feeling and later were able to draw it as an integrated form. Several students thought they had an idea about what colour the object might have, or gave it a stereotypical ‘right way up’ in their drawing, or in one case, a drawing appeared to relate to the ‘fit’ of the object when it was held in her hand. Touch has been called ‘the mother of the senses’. For more about perception:
