The TIGER project is a consortium between three UK universities that is collecting and developing open educational resources to share. The project receives funding from JISC and the Higher Education Academy. The goal is to provide reusable and customizable open resources for educators, students, and self-learners to use and modify for teaching, learning, and research. The document discusses using the Blackboard learning management system as a repository for OERs and the features it offers for importing, embedding, and sharing different types of open educational content.
The Ku Klux Klan was formed in 1866 in Pulaski, Tennessee as a secret organization that aimed to prevent Black people from voting and gaining equal rights after the Civil War. The KKK used tactics like violence and intimidation against newly freed slaves and Republicans. At its peak in the 1920s, the KKK had millions of members and targeted other groups like Jews, Catholics and immigrants in addition to Black people and Republicans. Over time federal laws were passed to curb the KKK's activities and many members were prosecuted for crimes, though offshoots still exist today espousing white supremacist ideals.
ELESIG is a community of over 2000 researchers and practitioners focused on investigating learners' experiences with technology in education. The group aims to share knowledge and resources to advance the field. Members communicate informally to stay up to date on research methods, provide feedback on projects, and network with colleagues. The community has a website, Twitter, and Facebook presence to facilitate collaboration and discussions.

The document discusses QR codes, including their history, how to create them for free or with paid trackers, apps that can scan codes on different mobile devices, best practices for using them, potential applications of QR codes in marketing and at college fairs, and emerging technologies like Google Goggles that can recognize images and objects from QR codes. It concludes by encouraging piloting a QR code project and providing contact information for the author.
Global warming is caused by the buildup of greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide in the atmosphere from the burning of fossil fuels. As more greenhouse gases accumulate, they trap heat from the sun and cause the planet to warm in a process similar to the greenhouse effect. The effects of global warming include increased temperatures, changes in weather patterns, rising sea levels, and damage to ecosystems. Scientific evidence like rising global temperatures, shrinking glaciers, and satellite data provide proof that the planet is warming due to human activities like burning fossil fuels. International agreements aim to reduce carbon emissions and transition to renewable energy sources to mitigate the impacts of climate change. Individual actions such as using energy efficient appliances, driving less, and recycling can also help address the problem

The document discusses using technology to enhance teaching and learning, noting that the institution has implemented mandatory online submission and marking for assignments for the past three years which has increased lecturer confidence in setting up submission areas and marking. It also provides feedback from students on electronic submission and marking, with some praising the convenience and speed while others felt there was less feedback or that it should be more uniform.
The document describes relationships between SAP database tables related to financial accounting, materials management, and master data. Key tables include BKPF for document headers, BSEG for document line items, MARA for material master general data, and CEPC for profit center master data. Tables are mapped between functional areas, such as linking purchasing documents to goods receipts. Fields like company code, document number, and material number are commonly used to link related records across tables.
This document discusses providing a safe place to store things that are important, whether they are positive memories, knowledge, or things to avoid. It suggests sharing things among close friends in a place where they can be easily found again. The document also includes an example of someone offering two tickets to a game in the second row behind the dugout and including phone numbers to contact about the tickets.
The document provides information about a Preview Day event at the University of Wisconsin-Stout for prospective students. The agenda includes registration, campus tours, information sessions on admissions, programs, financial aid and student services. UW-Stout has over 9,000 students, a 20:1 student to faculty ratio, and focuses on career-oriented majors in art and design, business, engineering, science, education and human services. The document provides details about the laptop program, study abroad opportunities, athletics and criteria for admission.
The document describes characteristics of 21st century learners and learning theories. It discusses three key characteristics of 21st century learners: they prefer active, hands-on learning; they learn content in a networked, multitasking way across disciplines; and they use technology and social media as part of their learning. The document then compares three learning theories: behaviorism focuses on environmental stimuli and consequences; cognitivism emphasizes mental processes like memory and knowledge organization; and constructivism views learning as individual meaning-making within authentic contexts.
