STEM for ALL Video Showcase


The 2018 National Science Foundation (NSF) STEM for All Video Showcase is an annual online event. Each year, it hosts between 100-200 three-minute video presentations from federally funded projects that aim to improve STEM (Science, Math, Engineering, and Mathematics) and computer science education. During the seven days of this online event, Principal Investigators, practitioners, administrators, researchers, policy makers, industry and the public at large are encouraged to participate. All participants will be able to view the video presentations, post to the facilitated discussions related to each video, and vote for the videos that are most effective in conveying the creative work being done. All videos and discussions will be archived for future access there after.

Social Learning Theory: Learning in Landscapes of Practice




What is the Video About? Dr Etienne Wenger presented 'Learning in landscapes of practice: recent developments in social
learning theory' on Wednesday 1 May 2013 as part of the Festival of Research in the Brighton Fringe.

Learning is often viewed as something individuals do as they acquire information and skills. It is usually associated with some
form of instruction. Dr Wenger presents a different perspective on learning, one that starts with the assumption that learning is
an inherent dimension of everyday life and that it is fundamentally a social process. From this perspective, a living
"body of knowledge" can be viewed as collection of communities of practice. Learning is not merely the acquisition of a
curriculum, but a journey across this landscape of practice, which is transformative of the self. Achieving a high level of
"knowledgeability" is a matter of negotiating a productive identity with respect to the various communities of practice that
constitute this landscape. This lecture reviews the main tenets of this learning theory, the ways in which it has been used in
practice, and more recent developments.

Learning Physics through Video Analysis and Modelling




Tracker is a free video analysis and modeling tool built on the Open Source Physics (OSP) Java framework. It is designed to be used in physics education. Tracker video modeling is a powerful way to combine videos with computer modeling.

Using Tracker we get position and time data for an object in motion. This is usually done with the drop timer or the motion detector, where as in video analysis, we use a program to mark an object in each frame of a video. This gives 2-dimensional position data (both x and y) as well as time. With this data we can analyze it as per our requirement.

Project Gloria: Nurturing an Astronomer within Us

GLORIA stands for "GLObal Robotic-telescopes Intelligent Array". GLORIA is the first free and open- access network of robotic telescopes of the world. It will be a Web 2.0 environment where users can do research in astronomy by observing with robotic telescopes, and/or analyzing data that other users have acquired with GLORIA, or from other free access databases, like the European Virtual Observatory.
