description:
This is an unabashedly practical guide for the student fact-checker. It supplements generic information literacy with the specific web-based techniques that can get you closer to the truth on the web more quickly. We will show you how to use date filters to find the source of viral content, how to assess the reputation of a scientific journal in less than five seconds, and how to see if a tweet is really from the famous person you think it is or from an impostor. We’ll show you how to find pages that have been deleted, figure out who paid for the web site you’re looking at, and whether the weather portrayed in that viral video actual matches the weather in that location on that day. We’ll show you how to check a Wikipedia page for recent vandalism, and how to search the text of almost any printed book to verify a quote. We’ll teach you to parse URLs and scan search result blurbs so that you are more likely to get to the right result on the first click. And we’ll show you how to avoid baking confirmation bias into your search terms. In other words, we’ll teach you web literacy by showing you the unique opportunities and pitfalls of searching for truth on the web. Crazy, right?

description:
The aim of this book is to provide a one-stop repository for first-hand evidence on COVID, eliminating concerns about payments and subscriptions for people in developing countries. For the past three years, alongside a dedicated group of fellow Africans, many from universities across the continent, Western Sydney University academics have spearheaded comprehensive COVID-19 research. Their findings have been published in Q1 open access journals, but despite this accessibility, colleagues in Africa have faced challenges in accessing these vital resources for various reasons ranging from lack of stable internet for download and inexperience in searching databases. Responding to numerous requests for PDF copies, we have worked with Western Sydney University Library to create a solution in the form of an open textbook. To effortlessly download any article at your convenience, Western Sydney University Library has collaborated to ensure these resources are globally accessible through this book.

This text supports the five Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) listed below.

  * SDG3: Good Health and Well-being: The comprehensive COVID-19 research conducted by the group of Africans and Western Sydney University Academics contributes to understanding and addressing health challenges, aligning with the goal of ensuring healthy lives and promoting well-being for all at all ages.
  * SDG4: Quality Education: The creation of an open textbook to provide accessible resources addresses the goal of ensuring inclusive and equitable quality education and promoting lifelong learning opportunities for all.
  * SDG9: Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure: The efforts to create a solution for accessing research findings through an open textbook align with the goal of building resilient infrastructure, promoting inclusive and sustainable industrialization, and fostering innovation.
  * SDG10: Reduced Inequality: By ensuring that colleagues in Africa have access to the same resources, regardless of their internet access or experience in searching databases, the initiative contributes to reducing inequalities both within and among countries.
  * SDG17: Partnerships for the Goals: Collaboration between Western Sydney University Academics, the university library, and colleagues in Africa represents the goal of revitalizing the global partnership for sustainable development, where stakeholders work together to achieve common objectives.

As decision-makers are bombarded with data, it is important to have an Insights Team or Department which can sift through it all and identify those nuggets of information that can meaningfully explain human behaviour. Such insights must translate into an informed business strategy for success. This book has been curated to ensure that the practice of data collection, analysis, and interpretation is presented from an industry perspective. This first edition is running concurrently with Customer Insights. Second Edition https://oercollective.caul.edu.au/customer-insights/

This book is a guide to implement and analyze simple agent-based evolutionary models using NetLogo.

All the models we implement are agent-based, i.e. individual agents and their interactions are explicitly represented in the models. To formalise agents' interactions we use the basic framework of Evolutionary Game Theory.

NetLogo is a multi-agent programmable modeling environment used by hundreds of thousands of students, teachers and researchers all around the globe. No coding experience is necessary to fully understand the contents of this book.

description: This dissertation turns to Open Pedagogy and Critical Information Studies as lenses through which to understand Victorian fiction's role in 21st-century educational dialogues. Although pedagogy is often left out of research monographs, there is an increasing push for scholars to integrate the work we do as educators with our subject-specific research. Indeed, there is a substantial overlap between questions that media studies scholars are asking about nineteenth-century print culture and emerging discussions about how we teach. My dissertation highlights these connections as one way of applying a novel perspective to literary studies scholarship. In alignment with broader efforts to reimagine the dissertation genre, I embrace this project as an opportunity for critical praxis. Instead of comprising a proto-monograph, I construct a pair of public-facing resources that intervene in contemporary modes of teaching Victorian studies. The first project component is a series of essays that I refer to as the "UnDissertation." This text explores principles that researchers, educators, and students (broadly defined) might use to interrogate and resist systemic forces of exclusion in academic writing. In opening sections, I explore how the study of nineteenth-century periodical literature intersects with new digital infrastructures and contemporary legal systems. Print culture from this time is largely in public domain, enabling a freedom of access and reuse that could, in theory, increase opportunities to participate in the field of Victorian Studies. In practice, I argue, evolving interpretations of intellectual property law combine with broader trends toward digitally-restricted content in ways that compromise public domain rights and fair use principles. I argue that people studying nineteenth-century texts are uniquely well-positioned to understand how these changing infrastructures can promote or impede academic inclusion. The second resource in this project, [The Woman In White: Grangerized], is an open, participatory volume edition of a nineteenth-century serial novel as it was published in its original periodical format. This resource incorporates SoTL-informed student engagement strategies for engaging with literary texts. Its supplemental essays and its integration of open-source platforms and unrestricted public domain materials reflect my ongoing efforts to put the principles I explore in my "UnDissertation" into practice.

Welcome to Astronomy, an OpenStax resource. This textbook was written to increase student access to high-quality learning materials, maintaining highest standards of academic rigor at little to no cost.

### About OpenStax

OpenStax is a nonprofit based at Rice University, and it’s our mission to improve student access to education. Our first openly licensed college textbook was published in 2012 and our library has since scaled to over 25 books for college and AP® courses used by hundreds of thousands of students. OpenStax Tutor, our low-cost personalized learning tool, is being used in college courses throughout the country. Through our partnerships with philanthropic foundations and our alliance with other educational resource organizations, OpenStax is breaking down the most common barriers to learning and empowering students and instructors to succeed.

### About OpenStax resources

#### Customization

Astronomy is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY) license, which means that you can distribute, remix, and build upon the content, as long as you provide attribution to OpenStax and its content contributors.

Because our books are openly licensed, you are free to use the entire book or pick and choose the sections that are most relevant to the needs of your course. Feel free to remix the content by assigning your students certain chapters and sections in your syllabus, in the order that you prefer. You can even provide a direct link in your syllabus to the sections in the web view of your book.

Instructors also have the option of creating a customized version of their OpenStax book. The custom version can be made available to students in low-cost print or digital form through their campus bookstore. Visit your book page on OpenStax.org for more information.

#### Errata

All OpenStax textbooks undergo a rigorous review process. However, like any professional-grade textbook, errors sometimes occur. Since our books are web based, we can make updates periodically when deemed pedagogically necessary. If you have a correction to suggest, submit it through the link on your book page on OpenStax.org. Subject-matter experts review all errata suggestions. OpenStax is committed to remaining transparent about all updates, so you will also find a list of past errata changes on your book page on OpenStax.org.

#### Format

You can access this textbook for free in web view or PDF through OpenStax.org, and for a low cost in print.

### About Astronomy

Astronomy is written in clear non-technical language, with the occasional touch of humor and a wide range of clarifying illustrations. It has many analogies drawn from everyday life to help non-science majors appreciate, on their own terms, what our modern exploration of the universe is revealing. The book can be used for either a one-semester or two-semester introductory course (bear in mind, you can customize your version and include only those chapters or sections you will be teaching.) It is made available free of charge in electronic form (and low cost in printed form) to students around the world. If you have ever thrown up your hands in despair over the spiraling cost of astronomy textbooks, you owe your students a good look at this one.

#### Currency and accuracy

Astronomy has information and images from the New Horizons exploration of Pluto, the discovery of gravitational waves, the Rosetta Mission to Comet C-G, and many other recent projects in astronomy. The discussion of exoplanets has been updated with recent information—indicating not just individual examples, but trends in what sorts of planets seem to be most common. Black holes receive their own chapter, and the role of supermassive black holes in active galaxies and galaxy evolution is clearly explained. Chapters have been reviewed by subject-matter experts for accuracy and currency.

#### Flexibility

Because there are many different ways to teach introductory astronomy, we have made the text as flexible as we could. Math examples are shown in separate sections throughout, so that you can leave out the math or require it as you deem best. Each section of a chapter treats a different aspect of the topic being covered; a number of sections could be omitted in shorter overview courses and can be included where you need more depth. And, as we have already discussed, you can customize the book in a variety of ways that have never been possible in traditional textbooks.

#### Student-centered focus

This book is written to help students understand the big picture rather than get lost in random factoids to memorize. The language is accessible and inviting. Helpful diagrams and summary tables review and encapsulate the ideas being covered. Each chapter contains interactive group activities you can assign to help students work in teams and pool their knowledge.

#### Interactive online resources

Interesting “Links to Learning” are scattered throughout the chapters, which direct students to online animations, short videos, or enrichment readings to enhance their learning. Also, the resources listed at the end of each chapter include links to websites and other useful educational videos.

#### Feature boxes that help students think outside the box

A variety of feature boxes within the chapters connect astronomy to the students’ other subjects and humanize the face of astronomy by highlighting the lives of the men and women who have been key to its progress. Besides the math examples that we’ve already mentioned, the boxes include:

  * Making Connections. This feature connects the chapter topic to students’ experiences with other fields, from poetry to engineering, popular culture, and natural disasters.
  * Voyagers in Astronomy. This feature presents brief and engaging biographies of the people behind historically significant discoveries, as well as emerging research.
  * Astronomy Basics. This feature explains basic science concepts that we often (incorrectly) assume students know from earlier classes.
  * Seeing for Yourself. This feature provides practical ways that students can make astronomical observations on their own.

#### End-of-chapter materials to extend students’ learning

  * Chapter Summaries. Summaries give the gist of each section for easy review.
  * For Further Exploration. This section offers a list of suggested articles, websites, and videos so students can delve into topics of interest, whether for their own learning, for homework, extra credit, or papers.
  * Review Questions. Review questions allow students to show you (or themselves) how well they understood the chapter.
  * Thought Questions. Thought questions help students assess their learning by asking for critical reflection on principles or ideas in the chapter.
  * Figuring For Yourself. Mathematical questions, using only basic algebra and arithmetic, allow students to apply the math principles given in the example boxes throughout the chapter.
  * Collaborative Group Activities. This section suggests ideas for group discussion, research, or reports.

#### Beautiful art program

Our comprehensive art program is designed to enhance students’ understanding of concepts through clear and effective illustrations, diagrams, and photographs. Here are a few examples.

![Model of a Pulsar. In this illustration the Earth is drawn below center, in the path of an approaching “Beam of particles and radiation”. The pulsar, labeled “Neutron star”, is drawn at upper right as a blue sphere. Its rotation axis is drawn vertically upward, with a counter-clockwise arrow around it indicating the direction of rotation. The magnetic field lines are drawn in a plane perpendicular to the rotation axis as concentric red ellipses on either side of the star. The field lines intersect the surface of the star at the “North magnetic pole”, which faces Earth, and the “South magnetic pole”, which faces toward upper right. The beam of radiation is emitted from the poles of the magnetic field, and extend toward upper right and lower left.](https://cnx.org/resources/591f7bb666b06a7ce6dcd9ef645de75a160e9506/OSC_Astro_23_04_Pulsar.jpg)How a Pulsar Beam Sweeps over Earth.![Map of the Milky Way Galaxy. Over-plotted on this data-based illustration of the Milky Way is a coordinate system centered on the Sun, which is located about half way from the center and the bottom of the image. It is a polar coordinate system, with zero degrees straight up from the Sun, 90O to the left, 180O straight down and 270O to the right. Distances are shown as circles of increasing radius centered on the Sun. Distances from 15,000 ly to 75,000 ly are indicated in increments of 5,000 ly. Moving outward from the Sun along the zero degree line are the “Near 3kpc Arm”, “Far 3 kpc Arm” and the “Sagittarius Arm”. Moving outward from the Sun along the 330O line \(to the right of zero\) are the “Norma Arm” and the “Scutum-Centaurus Arm”. Moving outward from the Sun along the 90O line are are the: “Orion Spur”, “Perseus Arm” and the “Outer Arm”.](https://cnx.org/resources/7b587ae641d4dba10463d23a7c39472cb676a9e4/OSC_Astro_26_02_Milky.jpg)Structure of the Milky Way Galaxy.![Illustration of Rift and Subduction Zones. The upper panel shows a rift zone beneath an ocean. At left is a vertical scale of 100 km, from the ocean surface down to the top of the mantle’s partially melted zone, which is labeled at the bottom of the diagram. At top center the mid-ocean rift zone is shown, with arrows pointing left and right indicating the direction of plate motion. Directly below the rift zone magma rises up to fill the spaces and cracks between the separating plates, creating mountains and volcanoes. At far right, the thickness of the crust is indicated, consisting of the basalt from the volcanoes and sediment from their erosion. The thickness of the lithosphere is also shown, from the ocean surface down to the top of the mantle’s partiallyh melted zone. Finally, at the left and right portions of the illustration the older rocks are labeled, with arrows pointing away from the rift zone. The further from the rift, the older the rocks. The lower panel shows a subduction zone beneath an ocean. At left is a vertical scale of 100 km, from the ocean surface down to the top of the mantle’s partially melted zone, which is labeled at the bottom of the diagram. At top center the oceanic trench is labeled. To the right of the trench ocean crust and sediments are indicated, with arrows pointing left showing the motion of the crust toward the trench. At the trench, the ocean crust is forced beneath the continental crust, which is labeled on the left of the diagram. The ocean crust moves down toward the partially melted zone. As it does so, the melting ocean crust becomes hot enough to rise up to the surface \(to the left of the trench in this diagram\) and create the volcanoes of an island chain. At far right the thickness of the lithosphere is shown, from the ocean surface down to the top of the mantle’s partially melted zone.](https://cnx.org/resources/641b34bd29eae2e18f1c81f7bafd8b8a5ea85658/OSC_Astro_08_02_RiftZone.jpg)Two Aspects of Plate Tectonics.![A global color image of Pluto, showing a dark area in the lower left covered with impact craters, and a larger light area in the center and lower right that is flat.](https://cnx.org/resources/8fd305e87120a6b0f065315f60b2c564019de3cf/OSC_Astro_12_03_GloblPluto.jpg)Pluto Close Up.

Stand up, Speak out

description:
In a world that is bombarded by information, the skills set of public speaking is more important today than ever. According to an address given by Tony Karrer at the TechKnowledge 2009, the New York Times has more information in one week than individuals in the 1800s would encounter in a lifetime. Currently, the amount of information available to people doubles every 18 months and is expected to double weekly by 2015. In a world filled with so much information, knowing how to effectively organize and present one’s ideas through oral communication is paramount.

From audience analysis to giving a presentation, Stand up, Speak out: The Practice and Ethics of Public Speaking will guide students through the speech making process. The authors focus on the process of speech making because they have created this book to be a user-friendly guide to creating, researching, and presenting public speeches. While both classic and current academic research in public speaking guide this book, the authors believe that a new textbook in public speaking should first, and foremost, be a practical book that helps students prepare and deliver a variety of different types of speeches — and that is the primary goal of this book.

With practicality in mind, the authors developed, Stand up, Speak out: The Practice and Ethics of Public Speaking, as a streamlined public speaking textbook. Many public speaking textbooks today contain over twenty different chapters, which is often impossible to cover in a ten-week quarter or a sixteen-week semester; this textbook is eighteen unique chapters. The fifteen chapters are divided into four clear units of information: introduction to public speaking, speech preparation, speech creation, and speech presentation.

In addition to practicality, this text has a focus on the ethics of public speaking from both a source’s and a receiver’s point of view. In 2006 Pearson, Child, Mattern, and Kahl examined the state of ethics in public speaking textbooks. Specifically, the researchers used the NCA Credo on Ethical Communication to guide their study of ethics in public speaking textbooks. Ultimately, the researchers focused on eight specific categories of public speaking ethics content areas: freedom of speech, honesty, plagiarism, ethical listening, ethical research, hate words, diversity, and codes of ethics. As a whole, the top ten public speaking books varied in their degrees of exposure to the various ethical issues. The authors believe that using the NCA Credo on Ethical Communication as the basis for discussing ethics within this book in addition to the latest research in ethics and communication will help students see how ethics can be applied to the public speaking context. All three of the coauthors on this text have conducted research on the topic of communication ethics and written about how ethics is important in every facet of students’ communicative lives.

Stand up, Speak out: The Practice and Ethics of Public Speaking, is intended for the one-semester Public Speaking course. Check it out for yourself and see if its combination of practicality and ethics, and public speaking topics and skills that will suit the needs of your course and students.
