A list of STEM resources for educators

Back to: HOME Page

A RESOURCE LIST

Creativity: A free online courses in creativity (see: https://www.coursera.org/course/cps).

Pre-service STEM educators research project: here is a great resource around assessment strategies for pre-service STEM educators (see: http://remstep.org.au/).

Maths for first year higher education students: A great article about first year students at the University of Technology Sydney being required to take a compulsory maths course in an attempt to give them some numerical thinking skills (see http://theconversation.com/how-to-teach-all-students-to-think-critically-35331).

An invisibility cloak: see the following link for more details: http://www.nbcnews.com/science/weird-science/scientists-show-you-how-make-invisibility-cloak-sort-n210961. Physicists have figured out the optical parameters for a magic trick they characterise as a kind of "invisibility cloak" — and unlike most magicians, they're only too willing to show you how it's done. A great way to engage science students as a teaching tool to show students how math and science can do magic.

Assuring Graduate Capabilities: With reference to the Australian Higher Education Standards Framework, this site explores an approach to considering standards focused on graduate capabilities for employability.
