A project of Macaulay Honors College and CUNY Advance, "Science Forward is a new type of undergraduate science seminar, helping students to see science as a lens on the world, a way of approaching questions and challenges. The course focuses on the critical thinking skills in use across the scientific disciplines, which we have summarized as the “science senses.” Starting with critical issues in the contemporary world, from climate change to the social and economic implications of artificial intelligence, the course encourages active learning and inquiry-based instruction."

This OER helps faculty learn about Team-Based Learning (TBL). Ideally, groups of faculty will learn together to experience the team components, but like reading a book on TBL, faculty can certainly learn much about TBL methodology using an individual, asynchronous format. To maximize learning, users should go through the training modules in order, as each module builds on the one that came before it. And like students, faculty are encouraged to complete the preparatory readings and engage in the readiness assurance process to the extent permissible using the asynchronous, individual format. Included in this OER are online applications, resources, and sample activities and syllabi.

Picking a Topic or Research Question IS ACTUAL RESEARCH and part of the research process. When you first pick a research topic, it isn’t set in stone. It’s just a general idea of something that interest you, that you will test with some exploratory research. If you like the results you are finding and it seems to provide answers to the questions you are trying to answer in your paper, then it looks like you can continue to find additional sources and start your paper. HOWEVER, if you are finding very limited results or too big a range of results, then now is the time to tweak your topic choice or even change it completely. This LibGuide will assist you through the 'Topic' selection process.

This course covers digital web accessibility. The goal of web accessibility is to ensure that all people, including those with disabilities, have equal use and enjoyment of websites and web content.
Creating an accessible internet, so everyone is able to participate in the new public square is the responsibility of all who create digital content. Being able to access the web and participate in information sharing is truly a human right and must be taken into account when creating digital content and websites.
Learn web accessibility basics, WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines), POUR (Perceivable, Operable, Understandable, and Robust), why accessibility matters, legal issues and how to evaluate website accessibility.
There are quizzes and assignments to help you learn and think about accessibility in your life.
