An introduction to Open Educational Resources (OER)

...chemistry, philosophy. This is not just about online courseware. It's really revolutionising how we think about learning, and how we think about teaching. We make learning environments, and learning environments include what a student might do with the computer. Speaker 1 Worrying is discouraging. Speaker 2 Worrying is discouraging. Candace Thille But it also includes...

Introduction to computational thinking

...Chemistry, physics, economics … Timing: 6 minutes Watch the following video. In chemistry computational methods, computational concepts have been used to actually invent new molecular structures that would have desired chemical properties. In physics, (this is one of my favourite examples), I am going to labour on this a little bit in quantum computing. There is a very...

...chemistry community. In addition, there is the implication that this information has been obtained from a specific source (e.g. the specific study on these samples), and as such, it should be accompanied by a reference. The correct way to show this statement in an answer would therefore be: Analytical tests on samples of Greco-Roman cosmetic powders have revealed that the...

...chemistry or for other reasons, there is evidence that the majority of pet owners see their animals as part of the family. “This doesn’t mean they regard them as humans,” says Professor Nickie Charles, a University of Warwick sociologist with a particular interest in animal–human relationships. Close links with animals are often in addition to rather than instead...

...chemistry and physics. Reproduction, for example, counts as a high-level phenomenon, which can be explained in terms of more basic genetic and cellular processes, which can themselves be explained in chemical and physical terms. This sort of explanation, where a phenomenon at one level is explained in terms of those at a lower level, is called reductive explanation. The...

...chemistry teacher who lives in the Maldives, has navigated three difficult – and very different – pregnancies. Shifneez has a severe form of sickle-cell disease, an inherited disorder that causes her red blood cells, which are normally plump and round, to transform into a crescent shape. These deformed blood cells can clog the circulation, starving the body’s...
