Sun,Moon & Earth

(View Complete Item Description)

The solar system is made up of the Sun, the planets that orbit the Sun, their satellites, dwarf planets and many, many small objects, like asteroids and comets. All of these objects move and we can see these movements. We notice the Sun rises in the eastern sky in the morning and sets in the western sky in the evening. We observe different stars in the sky at different times of the year. When ancient people made these observations, they imagined that the sky was actually moving while the Earth stood still.The Moon is a natural satellite of the Earth, meaning that it orbits around the Earth.It is the only place outside of the Earth that humans have ever been! We can often see the Moon on a clear night, but it does appear to change shape during the 29 days it takes to orbit the Earth.

Literature Searching for Students in the Faculty of Arts & Humanities

(View Complete Item Description)

These exercises are originally part of the KLaSS module developed by King's College London Library Services to provide information literacy e-learning to students across our faculties. They were built and developed with Adobe Captivate 9 and published in HTML5 format, suitable for use with Moodle.This set of exercises is designed to show students in the Arts & Humanities how to take a research topic and turn it into a useful and relevant set of search terms they can then use in an academic database to retrieve and view journal articles. ProQuest's Humanities Index was used as the demonstration database.The exercises cover three topics:Using effective search terms - the author describes the process by which you generate key concepts from a focussed research question in order to use them as search termsUsing databases - the author describes the advantages of using databases over other search resources, providing guidance both on how to find King's resources and how to use the search terms within themPractice exercise - the students have the chance to recreate the steps laid out in the previous two exercises in a simulation space designed to familiarise them with the various interfaces being used.This section of KLaSS is comprised of two demonstration exercises, narrated by the author Jane Pothecary, and a practice exercise. The practice exercise is not narrated, but designed to act as a practice run for the student where they click the correct part of the screen to advance through the exercise. The exercises have been published in HTML5 format so they should be compatible with any modern LMS. The authors have only used these files in Moodle 3.0, so cannot offer support for another LMS.
