VIDEO FOR EDUCATION presents work from the DIVERSE (Disseminating Innovative Video Educational Resources for Students Everywhere) network, based on selected papers from the DIVERSE Conferences 2001-2006. Three themes are covered surrounding work in: Using Video to Promote Reflective Learning, Using Online Conferencing in Education and Disseminating Video Recordings of Lectures within Institutions. Collating and producing this material allows DIVERSE to capture the knowledge of its community from what has so far been a very practically oriented event. The book is jointly produced with the ALT (The Association for Learning Technology). For ALT, this publication will help its members to inform themselves about an area that has potential for improving or diversifying practitioner practice in e-learning, and to support those preparing for the Certified Member of ALT (CMALT) accreditation.
It is Washington, August 24, 1814, and the presidents house is burning. Percival Mouse and his wife, Annie, have known for years this was coming, and they are not unprepared. They have risked everything to live in this time and place, hoping to save their present and future families. Their enemy, Balfour, a red dog of war, killed Percys father and has arrived with Admiral Cockburn, commander of the English troops, hoping to destroy the entire mouse family. This is how life in the presidents house is for one mouse family. Rod Harringtons Percival, a Mouse in the Presidents House combines fantasy and history to create an entertaining and interesting book. The Mouse family finds itself involved in historical events and close companions with many important historical figures of the times. Among them is Percivals friend, Benjamin Banneker, Americas first black man of science, who uses his knowledge of the universe and the physics of time travel for good, even from beyond his humble grave in Maryland. Readers will find themselves caught up in the history of the United States through the eyes and experiences of some of the countrys smallest citizens.
A 2023 Choice Reviews Outstanding Academic Title In this book, Corinne M. Dalelio analyzes how the rise of interactive media over the last few decades has had enormous impacts on every aspect of American society—the ways in which we organize, produce, consume, engage, entertain, and inform. Yet the vestiges of the one-way, broadcast model of the media industries continue to be primary, prominent, and persuasive in our culture, Dalelio argues. This book offers clarity and insight into the current media landscape by first outlining what it is that makes interactive media distinct from that which came before, and then identifying the harmonies and tensions between media systems—new and oldâ...

While a culture may have a dominant way of "mapping," its geography is always plural, and there is always competition among conceptions of space. Beginning with this understanding, this book traces the map's early development into an emblem of the state, and charts the social and cultural implications of this phenomenon. This book chronicles the specific technologies, both material and epistemological, by which the map shows itself capable of accessing, organizing, and reorienting a tremendous range of information.
