This short document gives you an overview of what the activity "group puzzle" is and how to plan using such an activity during a video conference with breakout rooms. The resource is available in German and is aimed at teachers in higher education. 

The activity is designed to help students conceptualize the spatiotemporal relationships between erosion and deposition across a convex topography, which serves as a proxy for understanding rill and gully formation, knickpoint migration, valley excavation, and the interplay between sediment supply and accommodation across distributary features. The exercise utilizes simplistic flume observations and measurements to generate digital terrain models (DTMs) of generated topographies; by changing individual flume parameters between experimental runs (such as discharge, slope, and sediment type and moisture content), students are able to determine controls on sediment dispersion.

This guide is intended to be utilized by students to help them use AI to assist in research and to scaffold their writing. Instructors can use it, if they allow AI to be used in their classes, to assist students in their research and writing endeavors. Some screenshots have been redacted for copyright reasons. A paper using this guide is under review and a citation will be provided when available. The guide can assist anyone when writing, especially research papers, but it is geared toward a student population for use in or outside of the classroom.

Students use media and technology to develop new forms of learning experiences in schools, workplaces, and informal settings. Students participate in a range of new and ongoing projects that hone understanding and skills in learning science, instructional design, development and evaluation.

This is the final course in the three-course sequence (11.129, 11.130 and 11.131) that deals with the practicalities of teaching students. Areas of study will include: educational psychology, identification of useful resources that support instruction, learning to use technology in meaningful ways in the classroom, finding more methods of motivating students, implementing differentiated instruction and obtaining a teaching job.

This CC-BY licensed, fully editable and adaptable "First Day of Class" PowerPoint is intended for faculty using Open Educational Resources (OER) in their courses. Similar to presentations provided by traditional publishers that introduce required course materials, this PowerPoint resource explains in a few concise slides what OER is, why it's so great, and how students can access the OER needed for their course that semester.

Melinda dP. Bandalaria (Ph.D) from the University of Philippines Open University (UPOU) lectures on how ICT provides high levels of flexibility for learning. She also looks at collaboration, synchronous vs asynchronous learning, improved access to learning materials via OERs and MOOCs. She calls for teachers to use a 'Flipped Classroom'.
