Land Rush plunges the gamer in a simulation of a rush for land and natural resources. Players take up the role of poor, middle-class or rich farmers. They compete for scarce natural resources. They make choices about crop and production techniques. And they face unforeseeable events with a positive or negative impact upon their livelihoods. ***** .
Land Rush plonge les joueurs dans une simulation de compétition pour la terre. Les joueurs assument le rôle d'un paysan pauvre, de la classe moyenne ou riche. Ils rentrent en compétition pour les ressources foncières disponibles. Ils prennent des décisions par rapport aux cultures et techniques de production à adopter. Et ils font face à certains évènements avec un impact positif ou négatif sur leurs moyens d'existence. ***** .
Land Rush sumerge al jugador en una simulación de una carrera por la tierra y los recursos naturales. Los jugadores toman el papel de agricultores pobres, de clase media o agricultores ricos. Ellos compiten por los escasos recursos naturales. Ellos deciden sobre las técnicas de siembra y producción a seguir. Además enfrentan eventos imprevisibles que tendrán un impacto positivo o negativo sobre sus medios de vida.
The Shiny@UCLouvain platform is a repository for sharing teaching resources created in Shiny for the Catholic University of Louvain (UCLouvain) with the aim of teaching statistics with interactive apps. The list of apps (Inference, Probability, Distributions, Central Limit Theorem, Confidence intervals, Hypothesis test on the mean, Bootstrap confidence intervals, Design of Experiments , ...) associated with the RShiny@UCLouvain platform can be found at https://sites.uclouvain.be/RShiny/main.html .

(EN) The resource is a simulation environment where one or several mobile robots compete against each other in order to get the highest possible score for their team. The said robots have a system of differential-drive wheels to move. Their aim is to autonomously collect several targets spread over the playground, bring them back to their base, while avoiding contacts with the opponent robots. Reaching this goal requires developing a controller (coded in C/C++) providing the appropriate voltage to the robot’s wheels, as a function of sensory inputs such as wheel velocity, touch sensors, or beacon detector. Learning outcomes of such a project include velocity control of DC motor, trajectory control, development of path-finding algorithms (optimal path search), avoidance of fixed obstacle and moving opponents, and the development of a high-level strategic decision module. This environment can further be used by the teacher to show concepts related to a mobile robotics class /// (FR) La ressource est un environnement de simulation dans lequel un ou plusieurs robots mobiles s'affrontent afin d'obtenir le score le plus élevé pour leur équipe. Les robots en question utilisent un système de roues à vitesse différentielle pour se déplacer. Leur objectif est de collecter de manière autonome différentes cibles présentes sur le terrain de jeu, afin de les ramener à leur base, le tout en évitant de toucher les robots de l'équipe adverse. Pour ce faire, les étudiants doivent développer un contrôleur (en C/C++) capable de fournir de manière autonome les tensions adéquates aux moteurs du robot, sur base d'informations sensorielles telles que la vitesse des roues, de capteurs de toucher ou de détection de balises. Les compétences de ce projet incluent l'asservissement en vitesse de moteurs DC, le contrôle de trajectoires, le développement d'algorithmes de path-finding (recherche de chemin optimal), l'évitement d'obstacles et d'adversaires mobiles, ainsi que le développement d'un module stratégique de prise de décision. Cet environnement peut également être utilisé par l'enseignant pour montrer en cours les concepts liés au contrôle de robots à roues.

Students apply concepts of disease transmission to analyze infection data, either provided or created using Bluetooth-enabled Android devices. This data collection may include several cases, such as small static groups (representing historically rural areas), several roaming students (representing world-travelers), or one large, tightly knit group (representing urban populations). To explore the algorithms to a deeper degree, students may also design their own diseases using the App Inventor framework.
Play with one or two pendulums and discover how the period of a simple pendulum depends on the length of the string, the mass of the pendulum bob, and the amplitude of the swing. It's easy to measure the period using the photogate timer. You can vary friction and the strength of gravity. Use the pendulum to find the value of g on planet X. Notice the anharmonic behavior at large amplitude.

This textbook is designed for students who have intermediate competency in Japanese, roughly at Level 2 on the ILR (The Interagency Language Roundtable) proficiency scale, and are working on reaching Level 3.
This textbook can be used for self-study, as part of online course, and in a traditional classroom setting. It is comprised of four chapters, intended to be covered in one term of a quarter system.

Sixth grade math teacher Ana Posada shares a lesson on probability. Students do simulations of dependent and independent events using a goody bag of objects where they can document the differences between them.
Building on their understanding of graphs, students are introduced to random processes on networks. They walk through an illustrative example to see how a random process can be used to represent the spread of an infectious disease, such as the flu, on a social network of students. This demonstrates how scientists and engineers use mathematics to model and simulate random processes on complex networks. Topics covered include random processes and modeling disease spread, specifically the SIR (susceptible, infectious, resistant) model.
This is a first course in project management, one in which students will learn the knowledge, skills, and abilities necessary to be an effective project manager. They will learn how to plan, execute, and monitor a project. The course will cover the latest theories and concepts on scoping, stakeholder management, team leadership, budgeting and contracting, scheduling, quality control and assurance, and risk management. Students will have the option to apply their learning to a real-world project.
