http://freedomuniversity.tv/blog High-Tech, High Touch For Your Higher Education Sun, 31 Jan 2010 20:39:37 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en This is a short one... During January 2010 , I gave a talk to high school students at a conference entitled, "The Framework for 21st Century Learning". I had a technology session with a title given as "Advances in Technologies and How They Will Impact Our Daily Lives". ... http://freedomuniversity.tv/blog/?p=520 Here's a neat YouTube video with 2 million views demonstrating interactive Physics. Developed by a graduate student at Umea University in Sweden, the Phun software is used to create 2-D animations of physics concepts. You'll need to go through the Phun tutorial page for easier use of the software. Here's the link ... http://freedomuniversity.tv/blog/?p=518 If and when technical subjects like physics or engineering are to be taught online interactive simulations and experiments must be available to reinforce important concepts. Here is one resource that provides fun, interactive, research-based simulations of physical phenomena from the PhET(Physics Education Technology) project at the University of Colorado. ... http://freedomuniversity.tv/blog/?p=511 One of many videos on digital signal processing. Initial background is needed to discuss the basics of DSP. Here, we talk about the remarkable mathematical relationship and formula known as Euler's formula. http://freedomuniversity.tv/blog/?p=509 This is an introduction to digital signal processing. Here, we begin with an background introduction with geometric series and its application to finding the Fourier Transform for discrete-time signals. Note when we talk about discrete-time signals the example given in the video is for aperiodic signals. Signals ... http://freedomuniversity.tv/blog/?p=503 The following is an example of solving consecutive algebra word problems and was posted in http://www.algebra.com/ http://freedomuniversity.tv/blog/?p=498 Here is a short explanation on x- and y-intercepts for a given linear equation. The rendering below is a step-by-step example and response to a question I answered to a student in http://www.algebra.com. http://freedomuniversity.tv/blog/?p=495 The set of videos is organized so that it has easy navigation to the set of videos. The course covers basic arithmetic operations on signed numbers as well as covering concepts about symbols, and its notation, solutions of linear and quadratic equations. The course covers factoring, powers, and elementary graphing. Online ... http://freedomuniversity.tv/blog/?p=489 We'll discuss the graphing of linear lines for two variables. The objectives are: (1) To determine whether an order pair is a solution to a linear equation (2) Given a linear equation, find the ordered pair as a solution (3) Learn to graph the linear equation, y=mx + b where m ... http://freedomuniversity.tv/blog/?p=479 We note on earlier videos that a single differential equation serves as a model for diverse physical systems. Here in this series of videos, we'll look at a second-order linear differential equation with constant coefficients for both homogeneous and non-homogeneous cases. We note that the roots of the characteristic equation ... http://freedomuniversity.tv/blog/?p=477
