The German Frame-semantic Online Lexicon (G-FOL) is a prototype of a new kind of pedagogical dictionary. The goal is to help students learn how words are used in modern-day German. This online resource is different from traditional dictionaries and textbooks because it is based on the German FrameNet at the University of Texas at Austin, a digital archive of how German words are used in real life contexts. As such, students can easily access up-to-date information about the syntactic, semantic, and pragmatic contexts in which a German word appears. In addition, each lexical entry provides information about a word’s register, frequency, and related meanings. Thanks to G-FOL’s web-based architecture, the lexicon easily links to other pedagogical resources in digital format and can be updated with new words or new usages of existing words.

A web based instructional tool funded by STARTALK, Haya! is designed to introduce Arabic teachers to standards-based language instruction for grades K-16.

Discussion questions accompany the lectures.

A dynamically simplified solar system is constructed from online data to explore the real solar system on many different scales.

The realistically scaled solar system is surprising because nothing is visible due to the presence of many different scales. That is why it is usually rescaled in animations or illustrations. This is nice but gives us a wrong sense of distances and sizes. This Demonstration is intended to show the solar system's different scales in their full glory.

Since it is hardly possible to see anything when the real scales are used, controls have been added to modify the sizes of the celestial bodies.

This activity deals with the concept of rhyming. This concept is not immediately understood by most students and needs to be explained first with ample examples. The activity consists of groups of 3 words two of which rhyme and one doesn't. Students read the words or listen to the instructor and select the word that doesn't rhyme. They are then directed to pick a specific letter from the "wrong" word and write it in a separate column. After completing the assignment students unscramble the letters trying to form a meaningful expression related to listening which in this case is "I'm all ears".

This website provides a resource for the heritability of all human traits that have been investigated with the classical twin design. The traits have been classified into 28 broad trait domains, as well as according to the standard classification schemes of the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) or the International Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems (ICD-10). Currently the database includes information from 2748 papers, published between 1958 and 2012, reporting on 17804 traits on a total of 14,558,903 twin pairs. Have Fun!

Polytechnic University of Valencia has established an Action Plan, Teaching Network (Docencia en red), which aims to promote the use of ICT in teaching, supporting the teacher in all processes related to innovative actions and providing both resources and services support to facilitate the use of these technologies in teaching. This plan is structured through annual calls for proposals (2018-2019 Call) .

The purpose of this call is to encourage teachers at the Universitat Politècnica de València to produce during the academic year 2018-2019 ("and in all previous calls") educational materials destined to enhance the repository of digital learning objects RiuNet, to stimulate the use of learning modules in UPV subjects, to enrich the collection of freely accessible materials.

All materials elaborated have to meet the criteria set out in the guidelines for the creation of learning materials (http://www.upv.es/contenidos/DOCENRED/infoweb/docenred/info/710371normalc.html).

In order to guarantee the quality of the materials presented to the plan, the UPV centres, through the Learning Object Groups, will value the materials produced, with quality indicators. The approval of the objects for publication will be carried out by the Commission of the Network Teaching Plan.

All OER are accessible through the institutional repository Riunet, through OAI-PMH they can be harvested by other information resources (e.g. BASE, etc.). They are described with Dublin Core and DC.LOM metadata.
