Introduction to Open Educational PracticeUKCoPILOT
This document discusses open educational resources (OERs) and things to consider when reusing or creating OERs. It defines OERs as teaching, learning, or research materials that are in the public domain or released with an open license allowing free use, adaptation, and distribution. Advantages of sharing materials as OERs include avoiding duplicating work and building on best practices, while disadvantages can include additional effort needed for formatting or ensuring content fits different educational systems. Key considerations for reusing and creating OERs involve checking licensing, attributing original sources, choosing openly licensed content and hosting platforms, and using compatible software and formats.
1) Wikis allow for collaborative knowledge construction as students can edit and contribute to online texts together. The challenge is getting teachers and schools onboard.
2) RSS feeds allow students to efficiently follow various blogs and news sources, helping them learn and gather information for reports.
3) Social networking sites, bookmarking services, Flickr, and podcasting provide new ways for students to learn, interact, and demonstrate their knowledge through multimedia projects.
4) The rise of new literacies from powerful web tools represents a shift where students must learn to both consume and publish/edit information online, and where learning is a social, collaborative process not confined to the classroom.

This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...indexPub
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.
