This week we will examine the concept of a function, a fundamental concept underlying all of modern mathematics. You’re undoubtedly already familiar with functions in an intuitive sense: a function is something which, given
an input, produces an output. But you’ve probably never seen the formal definition of a function as it relates to set theory, which is what we’ll look at this week.

88 Open Essays - A Reader for Students of Composition and Rhetoric
Unrestricted Use
CC BY
Rating
0.0 stars

This collection grew out of my work as a librarian with English instructors at Northwestern Michigan College as they struggled to adapt their composition courses to use Open Educational Resources in order to save their students the cost of an expensive commercial textbook. Composition textbooks include samples of writing that are copyrighted and cannot be printed or shared. This collection is intended to provide instructors with a wide variety of nonfiction examples of good writing that they can use to teach composition. A smaller collection was my final project for the Creative Commons Librarian Certificate program which I completed in March of 2019. These essays were collected from online magazines that offer their articles under Creative Commons licenses. A few are from individual authors who generously agreed to give their work an open license in order to share it for this collection.

APA Style Guide

Rating
0.0 stars

The standard citation style guide book for the fields of business, education, health science, public service, and social science is the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association, 6th edition, 2010. The American Psychological Association (APA) publishes the manual. We commonly refer to it as "the APA Manual".

The business, education, health science, public service, and social science departments at IRSC recommend APA format for papers written in these fields.

Two types of citations are included in most research papers: citations within the text of the document and a list of reference citations at the end of the paper.

In-Text Citations:

The APA Manual uses the author-date citation system for in-text citations.

Reference Citations:

The sources you use in your work are included as a separate list at the end of the paper. The APA Manual suggests using the title, References, for the list.

Accessibility

What do we mean when we talk about making online courses “accessible”? Does accessibility mean the same thing as accommodation or Universal Design for Learning? While the concepts are interconnected and all work in support of creating inclusive learning environments for students in higher education, each also has its own characteristics and definition.

Adaptive Learning Technology

0.0 stars

Adaptive learning has its origins in John Carroll’s
personalized learning concept which prioritized
allotting engaged learners the time to become
proficient in a task (1963). Today, the phrase
adaptive learning applies to three overlapping
areas involving technology and learning.
Adaptive learning technology refers to the
educational technology, courseware, and
learning systems that deliver instruction and
learning content. Personalized learning,
sometimes interchangeably called adaptive
learning, represents content, pacing, pedagogy,
and goals designed to meet students’ individual
learning needs (Office of Educational
Technology n.d.). Thus, adaptive learning
describes the combination of active,
personalized learning delivered through
adaptive learning technology (Brown et al.
2020; Kerr 2016).
