This module introduces the project Copyright for Librarians. This module is a draft.

Amee Godwin's contribution to the OSS and OER in Education Series. In this post, she writes about OER as an active collaborative process aimed at enhancing teaching and learning.

Andy Lane's contribution to the OSS and OER in Education Series. In this post, he describes Open Learning and Open Educational Resources activities and projects at The UK Open University. He asks some critical questions about what it means to talk about Open Teaching (whether using OERs or not) and how might that teaching be organized so that it is supportive of informal and/or formal learning.

Applied Finite Mathematics covers topics including linear equations, matrices, linear programming, the mathematics of finance, sets and counting, probability, Markov chains, and game theory. Endorsed by CollegeOpenTextbooks.org.

Linear algebra, vector space methods, and functional analysis are a powerful setting for many topics in engineering, science (including social sciences), and business. This collection starts with the simple idea of a matrix times a vector and develops tools and interpretations for many signal processing and system analysis and design methods.

This module represents information regarding the purchase of music for choral ensembles. Procedures for purchase are noted and recommendations regarding the exact information to include when ordering music to insure the correct music is purchased and received.

This module, designed for the EAC Toolkit (NSF SES 0551779) will test the Toolkit and Connexion's ability to network different online and offline sources for ethics across the curriculum. It consists of four components designed to provide students with tools for carrying out an in-depth analysis of the cases found at www.computingcases.org; it also makes substantial references to the draft manuscript of a textbook in computer ethics entitled Good Computing: A Virtue Approach to Computer Ethics. (The book will consist of the cases displayed at Computing Cases--Therac-25, Hughes Aircraft, and Machado--plus seven additional cases all developed through NSF projects DUE-9972280 and DUE 9980768.)The module presents the case abstract and timeline. It then refers students to Computing Cases where they will find the case narrative, history, and supporting documents that provide background necessary for analysis. The case abstract and timeline introduce students to the basic outlines of the case. The accompanying decision point taken from the case provides students with the necessary focus to carry out an in-depth analysis. Students respond to the decision point by working through four stages: problem specification, solution generation, solution testing, and solution implementation.

This is a case study designed to facilitate the learning of conservation of momentum and inelastic collisions. There are other physics concepts ingrained in the mathematics that are needed when examining this case.

This module represents the area of developing a choral department budget. While this is directed mostly at the choral director in a school its premise also applies to community and church choral directors. Material is presented to remind the director of budget development, how it must be shown to benefit the students (choir members), and its logical development as it pertains to those who receive the budget request and will make decisions about it.

This module represents recommendations for various public relations activities to promote the choral department. These are appropriate for school, college, community and church choral departments. They include websites, email directories, newspaper, television and radio releases, poster announcements and others.

This module represents information regarding making choral department purchases including music and larger purchases such as choral risers, recording equipment, etc. Directors must stay involved in the purchasing process to insure that the best product is purchased.

This module represents a discussion of choral diction with particular attention to English and Latin diction. Questions are given to stimulate one's attention to specific diction problems and solutions. References are also provided.

Christine Geith's contribution to the OSS and OER in Education Series. In this post, she writes about how OER may be shaping the future of a new type of university.

Es muy importante conocer y comprender las circusntacias personales en las que se vio envuelto Claude Oscar Monet para entender sus obras de arte. En esta modulo se trata de encotrar una pequeña bibliografia que nos acerque más a este reconocido pintor del Impresionismo.

Colección en la podreis encontrar una bibliografia de Claude Monet, un retrato del pintor y algunas obras.

The original of the Clicker Resource Guide, prepared by staff of the CU Science Education Initiative and the UBC Carl Wieman SEI. This module is a placeholder where the entire resource guide may be downloaded while the contents of the guide are being imported to the Connexions document language.

Cole Camplese's contribution to the OSS and OER in Education Series. In this post, he looks at how the Web is finally starting to fulfill its promise as a platform to support and extend conversations.

This collection begins with an overview of collaborative learning and OERs and is followed by modules taking a deeper dive in the specific areas around the topic.

This module discusses and illustrates how to conduct divided beat patterns---usually when a slow tempo creates the need to show by gesture the division of the meter. Beat patterns are given and musical examples are provided for practice.
