Ghiso, Maria Paula; Campano, Gerald; Hall, Ted – Journal of Children's Literature, 2012

Sullivan, Brendan W. – ProQuest LLC, 2013
Concepts of Mathematics (21-127 at CMU) is a course designed to introduce students to the world of abstract mathematics, guiding them from more calculation-based math (that one learns in high school) to higher mathematics, which focuses more on abstract thinking, problem solving, and writing "proofs." This transition tends to be a shock:…

By convention U.S. bond markets announce the actual price of a bond as the sum the quoted price plus accrued interest.

Hilton, John, III; Wiley, David A.; Lutz, Neil – International Review of Research in Open and Distance Learning, 2012
An important element of open educational resources (OER) is the permission to use the materials in new ways, including revising and remixing them. Prior research has shown that the revision and remix rates for OER are relatively low. In this study we examined the extent to which the openly licensed "Flat World Knowledge" textbooks were being…
