Symmetry and Reflections
This document provides learning objectives and tasks about symmetry and reflections. It defines symmetry as shapes becoming exactly alike after being flipped, slid, or turned, and reflection as one half of a shape being the mirror image of the other half. Students are instructed to watch videos explaining these concepts and complete worksheets practicing drawing lines of symmetry and reflections of shapes. They are also asked to design a symmetrical crown for the Queen incorporating different shapes.
BCcampus Open Pedagogy Effective Learning Design Matrix
The document discusses open pedagogy and effective learning design. It presents a matrix that compares open versus not open resources and approaches, and effective versus not effective learning design. Open resources and approaches involve using open educational resources (OER) and requiring students to publicly share their work. Effective learning design is described as authentic, flexible, learner-centered, and involving creative assignments that invite reflection and real-world learning with student choice. The document argues that combining open resources with effective learning design can provide greater academic freedom and opportunities for reflection and improvement compared to traditional closed approaches.

Open education resources (oer)
This document provides an overview of Open Educational Resources (OER) from a workshop for BCIT part-time studies. It defines OER as freely accessible teaching, learning and research resources that can be fully used and shared digitally. Examples of OER include open textbooks, videos, course materials and software. Research presented found that student achievement and outcomes were the same or better when using OER compared to commercial textbooks. OER quality was evaluated in studies and found to be about 50% as good, 35% superior, and 15% inferior to traditional resources. The document discusses OER licensing, notably Creative Commons, and provides lists of open education repositories and resources that instructors can use and adapt for their courses.
Open educational resources
Open educational resources provide several benefits including reducing costs for students and instructors, increasing access for those unable to afford textbooks, encouraging sharing of ideas and materials, allowing for feedback to improve resources over time, and providing a large volume of available materials. Some challenges to open educational resources include ensuring the quality of materials, managing licensing and proper attribution, limited availability for niche courses, the time required to locate and curate resources, and that published textbooks can be more convenient to use for instructing.

AECT 2010 Presidential Session: Openness, Data, and the Future of Education
This document discusses the benefits of openness in education through open educational resources (OER), open courseware, and open courses. It argues that openness is necessary for education, as sharing knowledge is how education occurs. Openness combined with educational data allows for continuous quality improvement through processes like strategic tutoring. While openness of materials is important, open licensing that allows reuse, redistribution, revision and remixing of content is also needed to fully realize these benefits. When implemented, openness can help address issues like college affordability while benefiting students, teachers, institutions, and society through opportunities like lifelong learning.
Library Instruction Overview
This document discusses various tools and strategies for library instruction. It begins by defining library instruction and noting that it can take many forms such as orientations, literacy programs, research planning assistance, and more. It then discusses how instruction can be tailored for different communities from young children to professionals. Various instruction methods are outlined such as explaining library organization, finding resources, and research techniques. The document also discusses online tutorials, embedded librarians, and subject guides as instruction tools. It emphasizes the importance of collaboration between libraries and other groups.
Open Educational Resources (OER): Benefits and Challenges
Open Educational Resources (OER) provide both benefits and challenges for educators and students. The main benefits are that OER saves students money by providing free educational materials, exposes students to a variety of resources, and allows for more customized course content. However, the primary challenges are the time costs for instructors to find, review, and curate high-quality OER materials to replace traditional textbooks. Instructors and students also need time to become familiar with using OER in place of standardized commercial textbooks.

This document introduces open educational resources (OER) and open textbooks. It discusses how rising textbook costs, student advocacy, and new licensing models have enabled the development of OER. Open textbooks offer benefits like customization, immediate updates, and low or no cost to students. While concerns remain around quality and transition efforts, open textbooks present an affordable alternative to commercial materials. The document provides examples of open textbook models and resources for discovering, selecting, adopting, and using open textbooks in courses.
OER Aguinaga
Open Educational Resources (OER) are teaching, learning, and research materials that reside in the public domain or have been released under an open license permitting free access, use, adaptation, and redistribution with limited or no restrictions. OER offer benefits like more timely information not dependent on textbook revisions, opportunities for customization and accessibility in digital formats. However, challenges include ensuring quality, sustainability, knowledge of technology use, and potential pushback in a capitalist society focused on traditional resources. The document advocates being agents of change by adopting OER.

Moving Beyond OER: USNH
This document discusses moving beyond open educational resources (OER) to broader open education strategies. It defines OER and reviews studies showing OER are of similar or better quality than traditional resources and have similar or better learning outcomes. The document advocates for integrating OER into ongoing course design rather than as a special project. It discusses open pedagogy, policy support for open education, and creating global change through alignment and planting seeds for an open future. The goal is to reconsider approaches to teaching and learning through open education.
Investigating Open Content
Open content refers to educational resources that can be freely used, modified, and shared. It aims to improve access to education and reduce costs. Open content resources follow the four R's of reuse, revise, remix, and redistribute. Common misconceptions are that open content is always free or the same as open source. In reality, open content has significant implications by lowering education costs while increasing access to materials. Examples of open content include resources on sites like iTunes U, Khan Academy, and NASA. However, concerns remain around issues like globalization, attribution, and exploitation of open content.

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
9
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.
