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.

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' .

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.
