Assessment strategies for global learning: II case studies
(EdItLib, 2003)The processes of assessment have begun to take pride of place in considerations of online teaching and learning. As the technological means become more robust for bringing students together online, designs of various kinds ... -
Cage Painting within the fifth discipline of learning organisations
(Inderscience, 2008-12)Learning organisations face new challenges in the 21st century. Increased flow of trade in commodities, manufactured goods and information as well as mobility of people have led to increased global interdependence, ... -
Calling Palestine: Enriching learning in women's studies
(EdItLib, 2003)This presentation explores how the use of inexpensive technologies, enriched student learning about Arab Women and the Middle East. The goal was to understand that the meaning of gender emerges within disparate political ... -
Cave-Fill Deposits in Pre-Atokan Paleocaves in the Mississippian (Osagean) Burlington-Keokuk Limestone in Southwestern Missouri
(Wichita State University. Graduate School, 2011-05-04)Two siliciclastic-filled (sandstone and shale) paleocaves in the Mississippian (Osagean) Burlington-Keokuk Limestone are exposed in roadcuts in Dade County, Missouri. These caves formed in pre-Atokan time as suggested by ... -
Co-constructing intercultural communication competence through an online cage painting simulation and scenario repository: A theoretical perspective
(2006)Increased migration and international travel, the connectivity and information access provided by the Internet, and reduced trade barriers are some characteristics of a world that we refer to as being borderless. The world ... -
Comparison of quantitative X-ray diffraction methods for characterizing composition and yield between distilled water and dispersant-aided extractions
(Wichita State University, 2019-07)This research attempted to quantify the relative advantages and disadvantages of competing methods for extraction and characterization of mineral colloid material (effective spherical diameter 100 - 1000 nm) in soils. ... -
Complexity and Ecology
(Springer Netherlands, 2005-12)Covering an area of more than 6 million square kilometres, the Amazon Basin dominates northern Brazil and forms a large part of the South American continent. The richness of its biodiversity, and the hostility of its natural ... -
Complexity in landscapes
(Springer Netherlands, 2005-12)In the previous chapter, we saw that interactions between organisms lead to complexity in ecosystems. Interactions between organisms and their environment also contribute. Soil formation, for instance, involves a combination ... -
Concept system analysis of the ThirdPlaceLearning theory
(2014-06)The ThirdPlaceLearning (TPL) frame and its sub-frames, constructed by Cognitive Linguistics methods, is a visual representation of the interconnected concepts. A list of defined terms and their underlying concepts were ... -
Considering the formation of hematite spherules on a Mars by freezing queous hematite nanoparticle suspensions
(Elsevier B.V., 2017-04)The enigmatic and unexpected occurrence of coarse crystalline (gray) hematite spherules at Terra Meddiani on Mars in association with deposits of jarosite-rich sediments fueled a variety of hypotheses to explain their ... -
Controls on suspended sediment concentrations and turbidity within a reforested, Southern Appalachian headwater basin
(MDPI AG, 2015-06-19)Water quality data collected between 2007 and 2014 within the Allen Creek Watershed were used to: (1) determine the factors controlling the temporal variations in turbidity and suspended sediment concentration (SSC) within ... -
Coral mortality, recovery and reef degradation at Mexico Rocks Patch Reef Complex, Northern Belize, Central America: 1995–1997
(Kluwer Academic Publishers, 2004-11)The 1995 coral bleaching event in the western Caribbean was the first reported episode that significantly affected the Belize barrier and lagoonal patch reefs. Bleaching was attributed to a 2 mo period of warm water ... -
Depositional and structural history of the Sedgwick basin, South Central Kansas in relation to petroleum entrapment
(Wichita State University. Graduate School, 2009-05-01)The Sedgwick Basin is an important hydrocarbon producing area in Kansas. Subsurface structural and isopach (thickness) maps and cross-sections illustrate the depositional and tectonic history of the area. It has undergone ... -
Depositional patterns and stratal relationships on the distal margins of a foreland basin: Middle Jurassic Gypsum Spring and lower Sundance Formations, Bighorn Basin, WY
(Wichita State University, 2012-12)Depositional patterns and stratal relationships in the Middle Jurassic Gypsum Spring and lower Sundance Formations were influenced by a combination of paleotopographic highs and eustatic changes in the eastern Bighorn ... -
