Armi di distruzione di massa or ‘Weapons of Mass Destruction’ is a video clip that aims to raise awareness about the risks of drunk driving. As it is part of a bigger Road Safety project by the producing Italian school, it is integrated with traditional teaching activities and relevant events organised by the school.
Pocket Anatomy was created in 2009 by eMedia (Ireland) and is a range of medical education applications for mobile devices such as the iPhone. One of its apps is “Pocket Heart”, which visualises how the human heart works in 3D. It features an animated and interactive 3D model of the heart with all of it component parts labelled and detailed. You can discover how each component part works itself and in relation to the rest of the organ, you can manipulate the 3D images and you can test yourself with quizzes.
Changing Lives is a video explaining the different aspects that are involved in organising a local sports club for Special Olympics Ireland to new volunteers (and starting clubs). It guides you through the different volunteer roles and shows the common sports activities as well as some related activities you might not think of which are organised in a sports club.
ArtisanCam is a free online resource that introduces children and their teachers to the world of contemporary art. It has been designed to help teachers deliver a creative curriculum through a wide variety of interactive workshops and activities including over 560 exclusive video clips of international artists and their work.
Studiecoach is a free online resource for study advice or digital coach and was created by the Dutch Open University which is specialised in higher education for adult students through supported distance learning. Studying in distance learning requires new and different study methods from the traditional classroom learning; in distance education there are fewer contact hours and there is more self-study which requires more self-discipline.
