Description

This video serves as a guide for undergraduate engineering students, explaining soil mechanics fundamentals and demonstrating the liquid limit test. The tutorial emphasises hands-on procedures, equipment usage, and data interpretation, ensuring clarity for academic and practical applications in geotechnical engineering.

Benefit of this resource and how to make the best use of it

This OER offers support to undergraduate engineering students by simplifying complex soil mechanics concepts through clear, practical demonstrations like the liquid limit test. Students can enhance their learning by using this resource to reinforce lecture material, prepare for laboratory sessions, and develop a deeper understanding of geotechnical engineering practices. Furthermore, by integrating this video into study, or group discussions, students can use the resources to revise or reinforce their learning.

This survey was adapted from a North American Faculty OER Survey Toolkit for use in the Irish Higher Education context. It was used across the DOERs project partner sites to audit staff Open Educational Resources and Open Educational Practices awareness and practices. We encourage other institutions to adapt this tool to meet their needs.

Two modules are available on this page one for educators and one for mentors to learn how to engage in mentoring sessions with students. The page also has access to the Community Mentoring Handbook (for mentors), Mentee Toolkit (for second-level students taking part in sessions) and the Adult Ed Handbook(for adult learners taking part in sessions).

This Toolkit was created by students at University College Dublin, for students, to break down sustainability in a way that’s simple and easy to understand. Climate change is something that affects all of us—no matter what you’re studying, where you’re from, or what you do. It’s here, and it’s impacting our world—but many of us aren’t sure what we can do about it.

The purpose of this toolkit is a starting point for what students need to learn about living more sustainably on and off campus. We hope it’ll inspire students to take small steps that make a big impact, and they can do it all at their own pace. You can access the Moodle page to view the Toolkit. There are also Zip files of the SCORM packages used to create the Toolkit (Part 1 and Part 2) that can be downloaded and imported into a Virtual Learning Environment.

• Part 1: Climate Change → Watch short Youtube videos followed by a little quiz to brush up on your sustainability knowledge.
• Part 2: What Can You Do? → Find tips and tricks to incorporate sustainability into your day-to-day life, this is a resource tool to help you get started!
