The study looks at the observation that there has been a steady decline in farm birds and poses the hypothesis that this is due to a reduction in their food (i.e. invertebrates). The example shows how to design a suitable study to generate enough data to test the hypothesis and uses more complicated statistics than the woodland survey tool also available on this web page. http://dspace.jorum.ac.uk:80/xmlui/handle/123456789/15609 Debating Land-based resources at Reading University An PowerPoint presentation demonstrating how to conduct a structured debate using an example subject as a case study. The resource also includes a mock debate that has been scripted to demonstrate the correct running of an example subject. The debating script is downloaded as an associated file. http://dspace.jorum.ac.uk:80/xmlui/handle/123456789/15608 Glucose assay Land-based resources at Reading University A resource showing a simple laboratory assay using the enzymatic determination of glucose in porcine plasma samples. It includes teaching on risk assessments and generation and use of a standard curve. Three associated data files will need to be downloaded along with the pdf presentation file, these are: Raw data and standard curves, Raw Data with Concentrations and Standard Curves, Raw Data with Concentrations and Standard Curves by Treatment. http://dspace.jorum.ac.uk:80/xmlui/handle/123456789/15607 Farm to fork Land-based resources at Reading University A tool focussing on the link between research and teaching at University using land-based examples to show how research from the School of Agriculture, Policy and Development at the University of Reading links in with some of the taught modules. It follows a general farm to fork journey. http://dspace.jorum.ac.uk:80/xmlui/handle/123456789/15606 Woodland survey Land-based resources at Reading University The study collects raw data about the trees and performs simple statistics. A presentation running through the procedure used to assess trees in the shelter-belt established between the University farm and the motorway. This is a current exercise carried out by Environmental and Countryside Management students in Part 1. Data files are included for students to work through examples themselves. Three associated data files will need to be downloaded along with the main pdf file : Woodland Plantation Mean Data 06_09, Woodland Plantation Raw Data 06_09, Woodland Plantation Standard Deviation Data with Graphs 06_09 http://dspace.jorum.ac.uk:80/xmlui/handle/123456789/15605 Molarity calculation tool Land-based resources at Reading University A tool for teaching basic calculations of concentration and molarity including worked examples. http://dspace.jorum.ac.uk:80/xmlui/handle/123456789/15604 Good academic practice Land-based resources at Reading University A case study of some examples of good and bad academic practice in the context of written essays, papers and theses. This builds on the study guides already available from the University of Reading and focuses on key areas where problems regularly occur such as general layout, referencing and plagiarism. http://dspace.jorum.ac.uk:80/xmlui/handle/123456789/15603 Presenting statistical data Land-based resources at Reading University A tool for introducing the basics of statistics and for teaching the correct interpretation and presentation of statistical data. This resource uses examples found in land-based subjects, featured in other resources available on the same page. http://dspace.jorum.ac.uk:80/xmlui/handle/123456789/15082 Vet Nursing S/NVQ Level 2 Hartpury College Q Projects LSN Vet nursing drag and drop quiz using flash.

It is available in two clearly identified forms: 1. As a single SL artefact, where all discrete items have been linked together to make a whole. 2. As a number of discrete SL artefacts. In addition, this OER includes two SL training guides: one for students and one for tutors. Users are encouraged to first read the 'Handout for the Sami tent OER' . http://dspace.jorum.ac.uk:80/xmlui/handle/123456789/7168 Algebra for quantity surveying students Leslie Fletcher and/or JMU This is the beginning of a handout suitable for motivating quantity surveying students to study algebra as RICS appears to wants them to do. It is very much work in progress so expansion, correcting and improvement would be most welcome. There is more about this in my FETLAR blog at http://stack.bham.ac.uk/blog/index.php?userid=385&courseid=14 (login needed); I will repeat this blog entry in the JORUM Community Bay some time soon. http://dspace.jorum.ac.uk:80/xmlui/handle/123456789/565 The potato story Mc Cain This website is all about potato and is full of useful free resources for primary teachers and teacher training students.
