Nos ecossistemas de várzeas do Alto Solimões, o trabalho realizado pelas famílias agricultoras tem propiciado muitos benefícios à população local, dentre os quais a “conservação da agrobiodiversidade”, a “segurança alimentar” e a construção do saber matemático por processos empíricos. Com base nessas constatações, esse estudo teve por objetivo desenvolver um material educativo a partir da Etnomatemática construída recursivamente no cotidiano de trabalho dos agroecossistemas familiares. Para o delineamento da pesquisa foi adotada a abordagem teórica da dialética da complexidade sistêmica, tendo o Estudo de Caso como desenho da pesquisa de campo com a aplicação das técnicas observação direta, entrevistas, registros fotográficos, diários de campo e construção de mapas mentais. O estudo revelou que a realização dos diferentes tipos de trabalho familiar da localidade depende do ritmo das águas, ocasionado pelo fenômeno denominado pulso de inundação. Nesse contexto, percebeu-se que ao interagirem com a dinâmica espacial e temporal dos ecossistemas de várzeas, as famílias adquirem o domínio ambiental, elemento fundamental para re/construção do saber matemático local. Outro fator evidenciado foi a preocupação demonstrada pelos agricultores familiares no que diz respeito ao destino da comunidade. Esses acreditam que se as crianças e jovens perderem o interesse em herdar a cultura de trabalho dos pais, é possível que em pouco tempo, por volta de 20 anos, não se tenha a força de trabalho suficiente e adequada para se realizar a conservação da agrobiodiversidade. A partir dessas constatações, construiu-se e aplicou-se o produto educacional denominado “Maquete do Saber Matemático” no ensino da escola da Comunidade São José, localizada no município de Benjamin Constant, estado do Amazonas, com o intento de contribuir para que os educandos possam refletir e valorizar suas culturas de trabalho, compartilhar novas imaterialidades matemáticas, possibilitando-se assim serem capazes de conquistar futuras melhorias às famílias, demais comunidades e ao sistema ambiental.

Locating restaurants in an unfamiliar place, reporting potholes to the local DOT, obtaining real-time traffic conditions... All of these are examples of geospatial web apps that are revolutionizing how people obtain and share information about the world. In GEOG 863, you will learn how to build apps like these. You'll start with a quick look at the fundamentals of web programming (HTML and CSS) before diving in to using JavaScript and a mapping application programming interface (API) developed by Esri. Using this API, you'll create both 2D and 3D visualizations of your own data and learn how to develop a user interface to enable users to interact with your map.

Paleoecologists reconstruct past climates and ecosystems by comparing the habits and habitats preferred by living animals or ones closely related to those found as fossils. In this module, students take the first step in this process by examining modern species distributions to make observations about species habitat preferences. Given a list of species, students use the Neotoma Explorer to obtain species distribution maps and compare them to temperature and precipitation maps. A series of questions guide them through their comparison and analysis of the maps. Part of the Neotoma Education Modules for Biotic Response to Climate Change.

Animal distributions are frequently controlled by climate extremes, especially seasonal ones. Therefore, if the climate changes from cold to warm (or vice versa) then using modern mammal distributions and modern climate conditions it is possible to make predictions about how the mammal will respond to the climate change -- whether it is past or future. In this module students use the Neotoma Paleoecological Database to test predictions, or establish hypotheses, about how certain species of mammals have responded to climate change in the past and how they might do so on the future.

The New England Collaborative Data Management Curriculum (NECDMC) project is led by the Lamar Soutter Library at the University of Massachusetts Medical School in partnership with several libraries in the New England region.
NECDMC is an instructional tool for teaching data management best practices to undergraduates, graduate students, and researchers in the health sciences, sciences, and engineering disciplines. Each of the curriculum’s seven online instructional modules aligns with the National Science Foundation’s data management plan recommendations and addresses universal data management challenges. Included in the curriculum is a collection of actual research cases that provides a discipline specific context to the content of the instructional modules. These cases come from a range of research settings such as clinical research, biomedical labs, an engineering project, and a qualitative behavioral health study. Additional research cases will be added to the collection on an ongoing basis. Each of the modules can be taught as a stand-alone class or as part of a series of classes. Instructors are welcome to customize the content of the instructional modules to meet the learning needs of their students and the policies and resources at their institutions

The digital age has created the need for a new kind of literacy-a literacy that empowers news consumers to determine whether information is credible, reliable and truthful. This is not just a skill; it is a new core competency for the 21st century. So-called “fake news” is hard to spot and spreads easily, leading to disagreements over basic facts. The antidote to the growing challenges posed by this digital revolution is news literacy. This mini news literacy course includes two three-hour sessions that will teach anyone to become a more critical consumer of news.
