Students will create an Adobe Spark to demonstrate the cell cycle and mitosis. Students take pictures of hand signals to model the cell cycle and mitosis, creating a digital storybook of the stages, with short descriptions of each stage. Students also add a section about abnormal cell cycles and cancer, with a specific example named and described. Students use Adobe Spark to link the stages of the cell cycle together and animate the process, simplifying the concepts to make them easier to remember.

Students will be able to show their research of a specific element. Students are unsure exactly what the elements are so this introduces them up close and personal to a specific element, its characteristics and its usefulness. They can’t become an expert on all elements but they can become an expert on one element.

Population Ecology. Students will discover how populations grow and maintain their populations (carrying capacity) and how environmental factors (limiting factors) influence their population.

Welcome to a  short training module on digital competence frameworks for instructors. This training module aims to help instructors working in post-secondary settings to identify and compare features of four popular digital competence frameworks: T-PACK, UNESCO's ICT framework, JISC's Digital Capabilities frameworks, and the European Commission's DigCompEdu framework. A fifth digital competence framework, Flexicomp, is also described in this module- this framework was developed in partnership with instructors and learners in four European countries, and is aimed specifically at instructors working in the  VET sector, and-or with vulnerable learners. 

This Digital Dexterity Self-assessment Quiz will help you identify your strengths in specific digital skills, and identify the ones that might need a brush up.

For most of human history, recording a star meant describing it with words or drawing a picture. The 19th-century invention of photography changed that—only to be revolutionized by digital imaging. This Moveable Museum article, available as a six-page printable PDF file, takes a look at the technology of digital imaging. It discusses how digital images are pictures stored as numbers and explains how computer manipulation can enhance images and reduce distortion. Some suggested resources are provided for further research.
