This short course provides an introduction to reactor dynamics including subcritical multiplication, critical operation in absence of thermal feedback effects and effects of Xenon, fuel and moderator temperature, etc. Topics include the derivation of point kinetics and dynamic period equations; techniques for reactor control including signal validation, supervisory algorithms, model-based trajectory tracking, and rule-based control; and an overview of light-water reactor startup. Lectures and demonstrations employ computer simulation and the use of the MIT Research Reactor. This course is offered during the Independent Activities Period (IAP), which is a special 4-week term at MIT that runs from the first week of January until the end of the month.

Production of Educational Videos is an introduction to technical communication that is situated in the production of educational videos; the assignments are all focused on the production of videos that teach some aspect of MIT’s first-year core curriculum. The objective of these assignments is improvement in both communication ability and communication habits; these improvements are effected by providing participants with instruction, practice, feedback, and the opportunity for reflection. In addition to improvements in communication skills, improvement is expected in students’ attitude towards writing, oral presentations, and collaboration; as the semester progresses, students should feel confident of their ability to write, present, and collaborate.

This resource is a video abstract of a research paper created by Research Square on behalf of its authors. It provides a synopsis that's easy to understand, and can be used to introduce the topics it covers to students, researchers, and the general public. The video's transcript is also provided in full, with a portion provided below for preview:
"Ras is a key signaling protein that controls cell fates, including proliferation, differentiation, migration, and apoptosis, and Ras effectors are proteins that influence Ras-regulated signaling pathways. Because mutations in Ras have been found to play a key role in cancer initiation and progression, scientists hope that obtaining a clearer understanding of Ras–Ras effector interactions will improve the development of effective cancer treatments. To meet this need, a team of researchers recently constructed a comprehensive Ras–Ras effector network with information obtained from public pathway and protein interaction databases. The network was composed of 2290 proteins, including 12 classes of Ras effectors, connected through 19,080 protein–protein interactions, with an increasing number of interactions occurring in each layer of the 3-layer signaling network..."
The rest of the transcript, along with a link to the research itself, is available on the resource itself.

This OER, Student Self-Assessment: Future Career Plans, was created by Ashton Krueger, Hector Eslava, and Jill Camargo as part of the 2024 World Language OER Summer work and training. Educators worked with Chrystal Liu, Nick Ziegler, and Dorann Avey to create OER Learning Plans and materials.The attached Lesson Plan is designed for 9 - 12 World Language Arts teachers for Novice Learners of German. Students will use the same self-assessment assignment at the beginning and end of the unit to help gauge their growth. This Lesson Plan addresses the following NDE World Language Standard(s): 1.5, 2.1, 2.3, 3.1, 3.2, 5.1, and 5.2. It is expected that this assignment will take 20 minutes to complete.

Many books and thousands of papers cover the field of system dynamics. With all of these resources available, it can be difficult to know where to begin. The System Dynamics in Education Project at MIT put together these resources to help people sort through the vast library of books and papers on system dynamics. This course site includes a collection of papers and computer exercises entitled “Road Maps,” as well as a collection of assignments and solutions that were initially part of a guided study to system dynamics. Note that while the level of the course indicated in the upper right corner of the screen is “Undergraduate / Graduate,” the material is suitable for people ranging from K-12 students to chief executives of corporations.

Students learn basic concepts of robotic logic and programming by working with Boe-Bot robotsâa simple programmable robotic platform designed to illustrate basic robotic concepts. Under the guidance of the instructor and a provided lab manual, student groups build simple circuits and write codes to make their robots perform a variety of tasks, including obstacle and light detection, line following and other motion routines. Eight sub-activities focus on different sensors, including physical sensors, phototransistors and infrared headlights. Students test their newly acquired skills in the final activity, in which they program their robots to navigate an obstacle course.

Students respond to their peer feedback, then they work in their collaborative groups to make revisions based on that feedback. Students ask for help with places where they are stuck or need help debugging. Students reflect on the finishing touches they want to put on their cities.

This module is designed to support instructor training on best practices for responding to college student writing across the disciplines. The module shares resources on feedback practices, as well as activities to help instructors practice using these practices to build a toolkit of strategies for effective response. Strategies discussed include: Limit feedback so as not to overwhelm students. Don't underestimate the value of praise to motivate and support student writing. Make sure feedback is appropriate for the assignment type and stage. As well, this module includes the following materials:Two sets of slides presenting effective feedback strategies.Self-assessment on responding to student writing.Feedback practice activity.Feedback peer review.Evaluating and revising comments activity.

Students learn about homeostasis and create models by constructing simple feedback systems using Arduino boards, temperature sensors, LEDs and Arduino code. Starting with pre-written code, students instruct LEDs to activate in response to the sensor detecting a certain temperature range. They determine appropriate temperature ranges and alter the code accordingly. When the temperature range is exceeded, a fan is engaged in order to achieve a cooling effect. In this way, the principle of homeostasis is demonstrated. To conclude, students write summary paragraphs relating their models to biological homeostasis.
