The learner reads about the kinds of questions that are most effective to use on student questionnaires evaluating instruction. Generic evaluations are less helpful than evaluations focused on the specific types of instruction and learning expected in a content area. Sample questions are provided.
Learners play a game to review concepts connected with student assessment. The categories on the game board are "General Assessment," "Science Assessment," "Math Assessment," and "Famous Scientists."
In this learning activity you'll explore what time management is, some general techniques for improving your time management skills, and the Pomodoro Method.
In this animated activity, students read about the two general types of variable resistors: potentiometers and rheostats. A brief quiz completes the learning object.
Students read an explanation of reactive power in a power distribution system involving motors, generators and transformers. A brief quiz completes the activity.
Learners read how the NOR gate can be configured to obtain the other common logic gates. Schematics and Boolean expressions demonstrate how the AND, OR, and Hex Inverter functions are achieved through the use of only NOR gates
Learners examine a general approach to solving for the current through, the voltage across, and the power dissipated by each resistor in a series DC circuit. A three-resistor series circuit is used as an example.
In this interactive object, learners identify the different roles generally assumed by teachers and instructional assistants as they form a partnership in the classroom.
Learners examine how language can interfere with clear communication. They select examples of ambiguity, assuring expressions, doublespeak euphemisms, jargon, emotive content, false implications, meaningless comparisons, and vagueness. In an interactive exercise, learners identify ways to overcome these barriers.
