Moving Image Gateway > Science and Technology

The Moving Image Gateway (MIG) is a new service that collects together websites that relate to moving images and sound and their use in higher and further education. The sites are classified by academic discipline, some forty subjects from Agriculture to Women's Studies, collected within the four main categories of Arts & Humanities, Bio-Medical, Social Sciences and Science & Technology. Each site has been evaluated and described by the BUFVC's Information Service, which regularly checks and updates the database. Sites are highlighted which have video or audio streaming. There are some 600 sites on the MIG database at present, and it continues to grow at the rate of ten per month.

Paper Works, Still

10. Develop students' awareness of the big picture: how the various activities fit together and link to the big ideas
11. Regularly raise students' awareness of the nature of different aspects of quality learning
12. Promote assessment as part of the learning process

Full Size Animation 85 KB	Our radar images show the location of rain in relation to local features such as the coastline, with different colours used to depict rainfall intensity. For example royal blue represents light drizzle, while red is used to depict very heavy rain (possibly containing hailstones). There are six levels of rainfall intensity shown - see the colour-coded key below each radar image. The images are in scales of 128 km radius and 256 km radius. State boundaries are indicated, as are abbreviated state and town names. We strongly recommend that you refer to Interpreting Weather Watch Radar Images for further information.  Radar images are normally updated every 10 minutes, however note that there are full and part-time radars. Part-time radars have scheduled daily outages.

The Victorian Institute of Teaching (VIT) is a new professional body for teachers established by the Victorian Institute of Teaching Act 2001.
It will regulate and promote the profession of teaching to raise the status of teaching and build the morale of teachers.
All teachers employed in government, Catholic and independent schools will be required to be registered with the Institute.
The VIT will be the single registration authority for all teachers and replaces the teacher registration function of the Registered Schools Board.
It will be a statutory body operating along similar lines to other bodies which regulate professions such as nursing, medicine, law and architecture.

There are a lot of VB resources on the net, but not many that cater for

the forum to discuss issues regarding Visual Basic and Visual Basic .NET,
offer assistance to each other and create a community that will be of
benefit to everyone. I have also set the forum up to directly support my
Visual Basic text. Hopefully, as the site develops, registered users will
upload their own examples and I will make these available for download in a
