Polymer concrete and fiber reinforced polymer concrete are alternatives to traditional concrete that can reduce drawbacks like greenhouse gas emissions and energy consumption. Polymers can be classified as synthetic, natural, organic or inorganic. Polymer concrete is made by mixing polymers, aggregates, and sometimes cement or other binders. It has properties like high compressive strength, impermeability, chemical resistance, and good adhesion. Fiber reinforced polymer concrete adds fibers like glass or textile to improve flexural strength and ductility. Geopolymer concrete uses industrial byproducts like fly ash and is more eco-friendly than ordinary Portland cement. Both polymer concrete and fiber reinforced polymer concrete have applications in construction where properties like strength, corrosion resistance and durability are
Polymer concrete is a composite material made by impregnating a conventional concrete with monomers like methyl methacrylate or styrene, then polymerizing them to fill its pores and voids. This reduces porosity and improves strength and durability properties. Three main types are polymer impregnated concrete, polymer cement concrete, and polymer concrete. Polymer impregnated concrete uses precast concrete impregnated with monomer then polymerized. It exhibits higher strength, stiffness, and durability compared to conventional concrete.
High performance concrete provides improved durability and structural capacity compared to conventional concrete. It has a denser microstructure due to a lower water-cement ratio, making it more impermeable and durable. Various methods can be used to produce high strength concrete, including seeding, revibration, and using admixtures. High performance concrete requires careful material selection and mixing to obtain properties like low permeability, high early strength, and resistance to chemical attack. It is an engineered concrete that achieves optimized performance for given loading and exposure conditions.
Teaching and learning are interconnected processes that are crucial to curriculum development and implementation. Teaching involves stimulating and guiding learners, while learning is demonstrated through observable changes in behavior. Effective teaching is goal-oriented, considers learners' needs and styles, and involves planning, implementing, and evaluating lessons. It should match learners' cognitive and behavioral processes to facilitate meaningful learning.
Vision, mission, objectives, and goals provide strategic direction for an organization. A vision describes what an organization aspires to become, while a mission outlines its current purpose. Objectives specify quantifiable targets to achieve within a set timeframe. Goals are short-term milestones that support achieving long-term objectives. Together, they guide an organization and provide a framework for evaluating performance.

The goal is to help educators thoughtfully evaluate and improve their teaching methods over time.
What does Information Literacy mean? Some examples from different disciplinesSheila Webber
This document summarizes a presentation on the differing conceptions of information literacy across academic disciplines. It discusses findings from a study that interviewed academics in marketing, English, chemistry, and civil engineering. Key findings included differences in the types of information considered important, how information is accessed and used, and the focus of information literacy. For example, marketing focused on using data and problem-solving while English emphasized accessing texts and developing critical thinking skills. The presentation concludes by discussing implications for creating relationships between librarians and academics around information literacy.
The document discusses approaches to enhancing course delivery through more flexible learning options. It suggests getting to know the learners and their needs, as they have other commitments outside of school. It also emphasizes putting learners in control of their own learning by making resources available whenever and wherever they are needed. The document then outlines a staged approach to introducing more electronic learning resources and activities into courses, starting small and building upon existing materials and knowledge. It concludes by encouraging blending online and in-person learning and accommodating different learning styles.
Fostering Lifelong Learning through Information Literacy education: Explorin...Sheila Webber
The authors of the presentation are Sheila Webber and Bill Johnston. The presentation was at the International Lifelong Learning Conference held in Yeppoon, Australia on 18th June 2008. The conference abstract was: "Information Literacy (IL) has been acknowledged as a key element of lifelong learning (Candy et al., 1994). The aim of this presentation is to explore the lifelong learning dimensions of pedagogies for IL in different disciplines. Our starting points are the categories of pedagogy for IL identified in a research project funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC). We will look at them in relation to: a.Candy Report’s attributes and qualities of the lifelong learner in relation to the ideal structure of the undergraduate curriculum described in that report. b.The competing models of lifelong learning identified with OECD and UNESCO respectively. The AHRC project investigated conceptions of UK academics in four disciplines: Marketing, English, Chemistry and Civil Engineering. It is notable that some conceptions of teaching IL focused on the requirements for the students’ course of study, whilst others focused on supporting students both in their course and for their life beyond university. For example, in marketing one conception of pedagogy for IL was Helping students understand how information literacy is critical to them, for marketing and life whilst another was of Upgrading students’ information toolbox at an appropriate point (of the course). We will reflect how these differing approaches relate to different aspects of Candy’s model/structure. Similarly, some conceptions focused more on students’ development as people and citizens (thus with more connection to the UNESCO view), and others on students’ development as practitioners. The discussion will be augmented by evidence from the literature and the authors’ experiences of implementing IL in the University curriculum, including Webber’s work as a CILASS (Centre for Inquiry-based Learning in the Arts and Social Sciences) Fellow at the University of Sheffield.

This document provides an outline for a presentation by Sheila Webber on evaluating the impact of information literacy education. It discusses the importance of considering context, including the university's strategies and the subject discipline. It presents examples of desired learning outcomes for information literacy from interviews with academics in different disciplines. The document emphasizes that information literacy education is carried out across disciplines and that indicators of its impact cannot be evaluated through a single training session but must consider longer-term outcomes like independence of thought and critical thinking.
This document provides an overview of a module on managing teaching and learning. It includes:
1) Specific outcomes and objectives for the module focused on demonstrating leadership qualities, managing curriculum, understanding learning theories, and creating a safe learning environment.
2) A presentation on orientation to the module highlighting the importance of understanding school leadership, managing people and resources, and leading curriculum delivery.
3) Results from a questionnaire on school functionality analyzing responses related to school ethos, vision/planning, leadership, roles/responsibilities, and links to community. Most schools reported positively in establishing a clear vision and strong leadership.

This document provides an introduction and overview for a course on making sense of educational research. It outlines the course modules, schedule, assessments, and resources for developing information literacy skills. Students are asked to introduce themselves, discuss their needs and goals for information literacy, and begin exploring resources and databases for educational research.
The document discusses orchestrating learning from an educational psychology perspective. It summarizes early promises of technology-enhanced learning that learners would become self-regulated and teachers/schools made obsolete. However, research shows technology may amplify self-regulation problems. The role of technology should be to support existing learning situations by structuring activities and allowing teachers to orchestrate learning. Orchestrating involves distributing activities across individual, small group, and whole class levels using instructional approaches like reciprocal teaching. Research is needed to understand how activities and scaffolds at different social levels combine to impact learning.

Webinar: Designing a schema for a Data WarehouseFederico Razzoli
Are you new to data warehouses (DWH)? Do you need to check whether your data warehouse follows the best practices for a good design? In both cases, this webinar is for you.
A data warehouse is a central relational database that contains all measurements about a business or an organisation. This data comes from a variety of heterogeneous data sources, which includes databases of any type that back the applications used by the company, data files exported by some applications, or APIs provided by internal or external services.
But designing a data warehouse correctly is a hard task, which requires gathering information about the business processes that need to be analysed in the first place. These processes must be translated into so-called star schemas, which means, denormalised databases where each table represents a dimension or facts.
We will discuss these topics:
- How to gather information about a business;
- Understanding dictionaries and how to identify business entities;
- Dimensions and facts;
- Setting a table granularity;
- Types of facts;
- Types of dimensions;
- Snowflakes and how to avoid them;
- Expanding existing dimensions and facts.
