Chautauqua Short Courses for College Teachers "Chautauqua Short Courses are an annual series of forums in which scholars at the frontiers of various sciences meet intensively for several days with undergraduate college teachers of science. The series is held at colleges and universities throughout the United States as well as at selected special sites. These forums provide an opportunity for invited scholars to communicate new knowledge, concepts, and techniques directly to college teachers in ways which are immediately beneficial to their teaching. The primary aim is to enable undergraduate teachers in the sciences to keep their teaching current with respect to both content and pedagogy. From year to year, there is an attempt to rotate courses among different regions of the country." "Fathom is the premier
destination for authenticated knowledge and online learning.
"All across North America,
thousands of people of all ages and backgrounds are participating in the
Cornell Lab of Ornithology's bird projects. From backyards and city
streets to remote forests, these people represent the world's largest
research team. We call them citizen scientists.

There are no additional fees to pay and no hidden costs. Members can study what they choose, at a pace that suits and within a small budget." "Teachers are very busy, very practical people. They will learn about technology when they see a clear benefit to their students, and when the opportunity to learn fits with their very full lives and busy schedules. For this reason, we have developed a set of over 150 "technology tutorials" that will soon cover all of the prerequisite skills and knowledge that our expert panels identify that teachers should have. These lessons take the form of short, animated tutorials that generally last from three to five minutes each, and because they are available through the Internet, they are available around the clock." Fashion and Textile Research Skills Tutorial "The modules within this tutorial are self-paced and can be selected individually from the contents list for quick access, or you can work through the whole tutorial step-by-step as a complete course. The prerequisite for undertaking this tutorial is a basic level of skill in handling a mouse." Compiler: WorldWideLearn,
