Open access (OA) provides significant benefits to learners outside of academic institutions by making scholarly literature freely available. OA pairs well with open educational resources (OER) to support personal and community learning. While OA challenges the traditional paid publishing model, OER transformation involves changing who creates educational materials, how they are developed and updated, and who pays for them. Both aim to increase information sharing but address different systemic issues regarding academic culture and markets.

ON ASTOR PLACE in Lower Manhattan, you can stand on a street corner and see, for higher education, the power and fragility of the word "free."
To the right stands the Cooper Union Foundation Building, a steel-reinforced Italianate brownstone that has, since 1859, been home to Peter Cooper's vision of a college, "open and free to all," providing a world-class education in architecture, engineering, and the arts. For over a century, Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art has inspired fierce loyalty in graduates who excelled because of, not in spite of, the university's egalitarian spir ...
The document provides information for students applying to study mathematics at Oxford or Cambridge. It discusses:
1) The collegiate system where students are members of individual colleges for living, studying and socializing. Students should research which colleges offer their chosen subject.
2) The specific mathematics courses and modules to ensure they match the student's preferred learning style and meet entry requirements.
3) Required admissions tests like STEP which provide additional data for university decisions. Test information and past papers are linked.
4) Additional support and application opportunities available for care leavers and looked after children at both universities.
This document discusses arguments around whether college athletes should be paid. It notes that college sports generate billions in revenue for universities and the NCAA through television contracts and advertising, yet athletes receive only scholarships and are not paid. It argues that athletes deserve compensation given the profits they help generate and the long hours they commit to their sports. Allowing payment could help reduce the number of athletes living in poverty and better compensate them for their role in revenue generation.
The document discusses the future of widening participation and Aimhigher programs in UK higher education in light of recent government proposals. It outlines concerns that increased tuition fees may limit access to higher education for underrepresented groups and questions how government policies can balance expansion, affordability, and fair access. The document also examines implications for higher education institutions, schools, students, and government policymaking.

This document summarizes the author's experience moving from heading the web services team at a modern, centralized university to a traditional, decentralized university. At the modern university, there was a strong emphasis on branding and visual identity across a centralized website. However, at the traditional university, websites were managed separately by different departments, leading to duplication, incorrect information, and a lack of consistent branding or user experience. The author outlines steps to improve communication, gain support from top administrators, and reshape the web team to develop a unified online identity and branding while still supporting individual departments.

Social participation through forums and blogs has been used for student recruitment in higher education. Existing social media sites or creating your own can help drive traffic and peer recommendations. Fears around negative comments, lack of control and the unknown are holding institutions back. To improve, institutions should assign responsibilities, build relationships through targeted content, embrace change and recognize social media's potential for recruitment.
The document outlines the tasks for a photo scavenger hunt held at the University of Greenwich from June 25-27, 2019 as part of the IWMW 2019 conference.

Static Site Generators - Developing Websites in Low-resource ConditionIWMW
Paul Walk discusses static site generators as an alternative to content management systems for publishing websites. Static site generators allow content to be authored in simple text files using formats like Markdown and compiled into static HTML and CSS that can be hosted on basic web servers. They provide benefits like minimal infrastructure needs, easy preservation of content, and increased security compared to systems that rely on databases. However, they may not be as user-friendly for content authoring. In general, static site generators are best suited for smaller, simpler websites that don't require advanced user access controls or dynamic functionality.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17Celine George
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.
How to Fix the Import Error in the Odoo 17Celine George
An import error occurs when a program fails to import a module or library, disrupting its execution. In languages like Python, this issue arises when the specified module cannot be found or accessed, hindering the program's functionality. Resolving import errors is crucial for maintaining smooth software operation and uninterrupted development processes.
