Our understanding is that the appropriate use of ICTs can increase the efficiency and effectiveness of your NGO, can help bridge the digital divide and can act as a springboard to enable you to do things which would be impossible without this technology.

Increasingly, parents are renegotiating recommended immunization schedules with pediatricians. Marcuse, also associate medical director at Seattle Children's Hospital, discusses this hesitancy and the potential consequences for disease prevention. In this videotaped lecture, he also addresses balancing parental rights with protecting public health. This lecture was part of the Howard A. Schneiderman Memorial Bioethics Lecture Series, which began in 1990 with an endowment from Schneiderman, the third biological sciences school dean. The series brings renowned experts to UCI to speak about the social and ethical implications of advances in biology and medicine.Tue, 17 Nov 2009 15:00:00 GMThttp://www.kocw.net/home/search/kemView.do?kemId=1476962009-11-17T15:00:00Zhttp://www.kocw.net/home/search/kemView.do?kemId=147692Project Zero's mission is to understand and enhance learning, thinking, and creativity in the arts, as well as humanistic and scientific disciplines, at the individual and institutional levels.Tue, 17 Nov 2009 15:00:00 GMThttp://www.kocw.net/home/search/kemView.do?kemId=1476922009-11-17T15:00:00Zhttp://www.kocw.net/home/search/kemView.do?kemId=147694Invent. Design. Discover. Share. This is the future of education today. The Big Ideas Fest is the starting point for a movement that supports innovation in education at a time when the need to accelerate high-quality learning is truly essential for our country and our future. The goal of this unique three-day meeting of experts and creative doers and thinkers is to spotlight, challenge and change the ways in which education can be made relevant to learning in the post-industrial world. The goal is to increase relevance beyond the sidelines of society and within the unique classrooms of the world, while placing learning at the front and center of all that we do.Tue, 17 Nov 2009 15:00:00 GMThttp://www.kocw.net/home/search/kemView.do?kemId=1476942009-11-17T15:00:00Zhttp://www.kocw.net/home/search/kemView.do?kemId=147693The primary mission of the Judaica Sound Archives at FAU Libraries is to collect, preserve, and digitize Judaica sound recordings; to provide educational programming to highlight the contents of this rich cultural legacy; and to promote the use of this unique scholarly resource for students, scholars and the general public.Tue, 17 Nov 2009 15:00:00 GMThttp://www.kocw.net/home/search/kemView.do?kemId=1476932009-11-17T15:00:00Zhttp://www.kocw.net/home/search/kemView.do?kemId=147687These are my lecture notes for a course I teach on mathematical biology at the Hong Kong University of Science & Technology.

At the beginning of each section there is a short summary to help the reader determine whether the content is applicable to his or her situation. Most of the Toolkit is designed for academics who are interested in finding and using OER in the courses they teach, or who wish to publish OER that they have developed. The sections have been kept short and to the point. They aim to provide just enough information to get the reader started. Each section ends with a list of references and suggestions for further reading. Some sections are aimed at institutional decision-makers and academics that interested in setting up a more formal OER project. These projects may start with just a few interested academics but, as they grow, institutional policies, funding and legal constraints become more relevant. Individuals who are not aiming to set up a institutional project may nonetheless be interested to read the whole document. Likewise, institutional planners, IT staff or librarians who are interested in setting up an OER project would benefit from understanding the academic's perspective. Finally, there is an audience that we care a great deal about, but who fall outside the scope of this document: the students. Some of the most innovative and successful open education projects are driven or supported by students. Examples of student involvement in OER projects are provided throughout the Toolkit.Tue, 17 Nov 2009 15:00:00 GMThttp://www.kocw.net/home/search/kemView.do?kemId=1476862009-11-17T15:00:00Z
