OER Should I Use Them?
Open educational resources (OER) provide an alternative to traditional textbooks that allow professors to customize their courses, but come with challenges. OER materials are freely available online, but choosing and organizing resources from different sources can be overwhelming. While OER offer flexibility and lower costs for students, designing courses with OER may take more time than expected and not find exactly what is needed. However, OER allow inclusion of a variety of media types and participation in a community of open teaching and learning.
OER PROS and CONS
This document discusses the pros and cons of using open educational resources (OER) in the classroom. The pros are that OER can save students money on textbooks, provide high-quality resources, help prepare students for courses, and allow students to review materials after a course ends. However, using OER requires spending time finding resources, recognizing that a perfect fit may not exist, only using open licenses and public domain materials, properly attributing shared works, and updating resources if they become obsolete. Teachers must also spend time licensing their own work if they choose to share it and understand that the license is non-revocable. Overall, the document concludes that the benefits of using OER are worth the effort.

OER -- Open Educational Resources
This document discusses the benefits and challenges of using open educational resources (OER) in education. Some benefits mentioned include allowing students and instructors to access updated materials, mix and collaborate on ideas, and learn from experts worldwide. However, challenges include difficulty finding the right resources, lack of understanding about OER, reluctance to use anything but their own materials due to pride of ownership, and potential reluctance to share their own ideas/materials for the same reason. The document provides examples of OER that could help address different learning styles and support content areas instructors may not have expertise in.
Open educational resources
Using open educational resources in courses takes time to find relevant materials, customize them for the class, and replace any broken links or missing content. However, this process keeps the instructor engaged with the course materials and ensures each resource enhances the objectives. Resources must also be logically integrated into the course sequence and address the objectives. While shared materials may lack value or attribution, reviewing them critically helps instructors understand content and improve shared resources through peer assessment.
In Favor of Open Educational Resources
Open educational resources (OER) help preserve collective knowledge by preventing the loss of indigenous cultures' skills and wisdom. OER also increase cross-disciplinary understanding by allowing academics from different fields to learn from one another and acknowledge the interplay between nature and nurture. Additionally, OER help academic peers mentor each other by giving instructors models for rethinking their courses to meet changing student needs when their work is fully accessible.

Effective Practices and Open Pedagogy
The document discusses effective practices for open pedagogy based on John Hattie's research into visible learning. It recommends adopting an outcomes-based "backward design" approach when using open educational resources (OER), identifying desired outcomes before planning assessments and learning activities. It highlights high-impact teaching strategies from Hattie's meta-analyses, including feedback, teacher-student relationships, and reciprocal teaching. The document proposes applying these strategies when having students remix OER through valuable assignments involving providing feedback on each other's work.
The Pros and Cons of Open Educational Resources
This document discusses the pros and cons of open educational resources (OERs). It notes that while OERs improve access to educational materials, their quality is not always guaranteed and instructors must carefully review content. OERs can be misunderstood as providing official degrees. However, they offer minimal or no costs and allow peer review and sharing of best practices worldwide. While OERs increase accessibility, reliable internet access remains a challenge in some areas. Licensing terms can confuse users and intellectual property issues are a concern, though OERs reach wider audiences.

Prfm programming 2_with_notes
This document provides an explanation of how the Prfm Programming Language uses a stack to control drawings and animations. Key points covered include:
- Commands like addition, translation and repetition operate by pushing numbers onto a stack and popping them off to use as parameters.
- Repetition works by pushing a count onto the stack, decrementing it each loop, and continuing until it reaches zero.
- Copying elements from the stack using "ref" allows values to be preserved across commands like in a repetition loop to vary brush numbers each iteration.
- The stack approach provides flexibility to vary parameters dynamically based on previous calculations rather than using fixed values.

- The UK has implemented a Federated Access Management (FAM) system across higher education, further education, and schools to enable single sign-on access to online resources. JISC and Becta jointly fund and manage the FAM infrastructure.
- FAM allows institutions to outsource identity and access management to external service providers while still maintaining local control over users and resources. It reduces costs through central negotiation of licenses by JISC Collections and leveraging the collective buying power of UK educational institutions.
- Future challenges include improving the user experience, defining service provider interfaces, increasing FAM usage and identity management capabilities, supporting walk-in users, and addressing issues like inter-federation and cost allocation between

How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17
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.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
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
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

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.
