This emotional, character-driven journey is about a nonbinary teenager grieving their first shattering loss and, moving forward, allowing that experience to be a guidepost for the relationships that are important to them...An unflinchingly honest story that doesn’t shy away from the complex emotions of grief but also offers a hopeful path forward for Liam and everyone else left behind in the wake of Ethan’s death. ~ Alaina Leary, Booklist

An Agent-Based Spatially Explicit Epidemiological Model in MASON
No full textThis paper outlines the design and implementation of an agent-based epidemiological simulation system. The system was implemented in the MASON toolkit, a set of Java-based agent-simulation libraries. This epidemiological simulation system is robust and extensible for multiple applications, including classroom demonstrations of many types of epidemics and detailed numerical experimentation on a particular disease. The application has been made available as an applet on the MASON web site, and as source code on the author\'s web site.Epidemiology, Social Networks, Agent-Based Simulation, MASON Toolkit

Open Educational Resources (OERs) Part 2: Collaborating and Developing OERs for Your Courses
No full textBRIEF SESSION DESCRIPTION:This session will discuss the collaboration between Mason Publishing, Mason 4-VA, and Mason Online to reduce the cost of instruction and improve teaching and learning outcomes by encouraging the use of open educational resources and free open-access textbooks. àDuring the hands-on portion of the session, attendees will be introduced to the various creative commons licenses and their advantages and disadvantages for particular teaching scenarios, and will have a chance to consider which licenses would work best for their planned or possible OER projects.à___________________________________________________FULL ABSTRACT:àOpen Educational Resources (OERs) include materials for teaching, learning, and research that may be freely used and repurposed by others, because they reside in the public domain or have been released under an intellectual property license (such as Creative Commons) that permits their use and reuse. Traditional textbooks have become unaffordable for many students.àA collaboration among Mason Publishing, Mason 4-VA, and Mason online seeksàto reduce the cost of instruction and improve teaching and learning outcomes by encouraging the use of OERs to ensure more equal student access to quality educational resources. This session examines lessons learned from that effort, and from two related projects:àan effort to collect peer-reviewed OERs created and/or adapted for English 302 (a required core writing class), and an experiment with incorporating OERs into an English language course for INTO Mason taught to international students. àMason Publishing, a department of the University Libraries, teamed with Mason 4-VA and Mason Online in a pilot project to encourage the use of OERs in innovative course redesign. Courses targeted for the pilot include those with high enrollment numbers, are required courses for majors, count in the Mason Core, or carry high textbook costs. As part of this pilot project, Mason Publishing is assisting instructors in developing open textbooks and other open access materials. These goals are also supported by Masonââ¬â¢s collaboration with the Virtual Library of Virginia (VIVA) in a consortia effort in the Open Textbook Network (OTN).àThe English 302 OER Collection, funded in part by a Mason 4-VA OER grant , seeks both to provide students with quality educational resources and to strengthen an existing culture of collaboration among instructors by encouragingàexperienced instructors to share materials they have created with each other and with instructors new to the course.àCreative commons licenses allow us to trace the evolution of individual activities and assignments, and to assure that assignment creators and adapters receive credit for their work in retention and promotion reviews.ààThe INTO Mason course seeks to engage students through OER tools, including open source game platforms like Squiffy, that let students teach peers with DIY text adventures.àDuring the hands-on portion of the session, attendees will be introduced to the various creative commons licenses and their advantages and disadvantages for particular teaching scenarios, and will have a chance to consider which licenses would work best for their planned or possible OER projects.àResources: http://publishing.gmu.edu/communication/open-educational-resources
