  1. Open Educational Resources Margaret Waterman Faculty Development Day Jan. 12, 2012

  2. Open Educational Resources • Freely available materials for teaching and learning • Many may be modified • Many, many types • Books, lectures, courses, modules • Animations, data sets and visualization • Simulations, interactive maps • Real time data

  8. http://gecenter.comcastbiz.net/5_Publications/US_news_1999.jpg US News and World Report, July 1999 Remote sensing Salish Sea Green = tree cover, Black = developed areas

  9. And in just a few years Green = tree cover, Black = developed areas

  10. MoSSea: Modeling the Salish Sea http://faculty.washington.edu/pmacc/MoSSea/movies/SSS_daily_salish.mov

  11. Investigating with an excel based model http://historymatters.gmu.edu/d/107

  12. Quantitative Skills and testing variables with an excel based model Predict generally what changes you’d expect to see in the SIR model results with respect to S, I, and R individuals if you were to simulate the use of masks. http://bioquest.org/icbl

  13. Simulation Results for Scenario 2 of Avian Influenza with 250 people (200 susceptible) and the use of masks with a 10% reduction in transmission. Masks are used starting on day 30, when the epidemic has already nearly run its course. http://bioquest.org/icbl

  14. Simulation Results for Scenario 3 of Avian Influenza with 250 people (200 susceptible) and the use of masks with a 10% reduction in transmission. Masks are used starting on day 10, when the epidemic is still in its growth phase. http://bioquest.org/icbl

  15. Footprints “I’m glad I don’t live on a 1200 acre farm like you, Sam!” teased Sue as the two friends hurried into their Biology class. “Why?” asked Sam, “Weren’t you just complaining about living in your parent’s downtown condo?” “Well, that’s true,” Sue admitted, “But I was thinking about today’s class assignment on sustainability. I bet you have the biggest footprint in the whole class.” Much to Sue’s surprise, Sam didn’t look all that concerned. He held out his hand and replied confidently, “I’ll take that bet!” http://bioquest.org/icbl

  16. Introduce an Online Simulation: a global resource used locally, comparatively • http://www.myfootprint.org/en/visitor_information/

  17. The Results Sue Sam

  18. Online tools for data visualization Used for interdisciplinarity, developing questions and hypotheses, examining relationships among variables, interpreting data Worldmapper www.Worldmapper.org Gapminder: A Data Centered View of the World www. Gapminder.org

  19. Objective: Tools for Visualizing Data www.worldmapper.org

  20. Total Carbon emissions by country www.worldmapper.org

  21. Gapminder: redisplaying same data AND ?? http://bioquest.org/icbl

  22. What else can affect life expectancy?

  23. Exploring Gapminder • www.gapminder.org • Gapminder world • “health and wealth of nations” • What learning objectives could we achieve with this tool?
