A volume in Educational Design and Technology in the Knowledge
Society Series Editors Stewart Marshall and Wanjira Kinuthia The
field of educational technology is one that requires a high level
of problem solving critical thinking, and interpersonal skills to
solve problems that are often complex and multi-dimensional.
Analyzing cases provides an opportunity to explore professional
issues through an environment that allows action researchers,
practitioners and students to analyze and reflect on relevant
theories and techniques to understand a real problem, ponder
solutions and consequences, and develop responses. Hence, this book
seeks to provide relevant authentic and realistic cases for such
exploration. This book is guided by the premise that the cases
presented will serve as a platform for researchers, practitioners
and students to share experiences and best practices in both
developing and developed contexts, in an endeavor to bridge the
knowledge divide. Throughout the book, various challenges are
addressed and educational technology tools and strategies are
subsequently employed in an effort to minimize the issues.
Notwithstanding, the book also highlights successes and
accomplishments in areas and contexts in which educational
technology is being harnessed, including reaching more learners,
providing more affordable options, and building capacity. Because
of the interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary nature of the field
and the cases, this book is useful not only in educational
technology, but also in other fields. A "Facilitator Guide" is
provided for each chapter for educators with their learners.

farts destroy the planet?! Err...no. Probably not. But the world
will change, and our future lives will change along with it. Are
you ready for the future? In this amazing book, Glenn Murphy,
author of WHY IS SNOT GREEN?, takes you on a time-travelling trip
to the year 2050, to answer all your questions about the future of
planet Earth. Join future-school student Jake as he explores a
world of floating trains and liquid traffic ...of underwater
windmills and volcanic electricity ...of vertical farms, rooftop
cycle-tubes, solar-powered smart-houses and grass-powered buses!
Packed with incredible information about the future of food, water,
transport, energy and the environment, this book has all the good
stuff and none of the boring bits!
Work integrated learning manifests itself in many guises, including
Work Based Learning, Workplace Learning or Practice Based Learning
and occurs within work-like contexts, simulated work conditions, an
actual workplace or a combination of these. Work-Integrated
Learning in Engineering, Built Environment and Technology:
Diversity of Practice in Practice provides a snap shot of a global
perspective of the diversity of practices adopted to successfully
develop, implement, deliver and re-invigorate undergraduate and
postgraduate Work Integrated Learning (WIL) focused programs in
engineering, the built environment and information technology. The
authors who contributed to this text provide a diverse perspective
on the manner in which the WIL philosophy can be adopted and
adapted and emphasize a learning environment that creates and
supports meaningful learning through a contextual lens.

This book addresses the point of intersection between cognition,
metacognition, and culture in learning and teaching Science,
Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM). We explore
theoretical background and cutting-edge research about how various
forms of cognitive and metacognitive instruction may enhance
learning and thinking in STEM classrooms from K-12 to university
and in different cultures and countries. Over the past several
years, STEM education research has witnessed rapid growth,
attracting considerable interest among scholars and educators. The
book provides an updated collection of studies about cognition,
metacognition and culture in the four STEM domains. The field of
research, cognition and metacognition in STEM education still
suffers from ambiguity in meanings of key concepts that various
researchers use. This book is organized according to a unique
manner: Each chapter features one of the four STEM domains and one
of the three themes-cognition, metacognition, and culture-and
defines key concepts. This matrix-type organization opens a new
path to knowledge in STEM education and facilitates its
understanding. The discussion at the end of the book integrates
these definitions for analyzing and mapping the STEM education
research. Chapter 4 is available open access under a Creative

The first edition of Welding processes handbook established itself
as a standard introduction and guide to the main welding
technologies and their applications. This new edition has been
substantially revised and extended to reflect the latest
developments.
After an initial introduction, the book first reviews gas welding
before discussing the fundamentals of arc welding, including arc
physics and power sources. It then discusses the range of arc
welding techniques including TIG, plasma, MIG/MAG, MMA and
submerged arc welding. Further chapters cover a range of other
important welding technologies such as resistance and laser
welding, as well as the use of welding techniques for cutting,
surface cladding and hardfacing, soldering and brazing. A final
group of chapters discuss more general issues such as
mechanisation, safety, residual stress and distortion, welding
design, costs and quality assurance, as well as the welding of
steel and aluminium.
The new edition of Welding processes handbook confirms its
reputation as a concise, authoritative and practical introduction
to welding and its applications for both students and engineers. It
is designed to meet the requirements of Module 1: Welding processes
and equipment of the International Institute of Welding (IIW)
guidelines for the training of welding personnel at IWE, IWT, IWS
and IWP level.
