Gezond Studeren

Een Xerte keuzedeel vanuit Zorg & Welzijn. Vanuit Canvas is een design gemaakt voor een persoonlijk werkboek, waarin studenten aan de slag kunnen met vragen over zichzelf en hun dagelijks leven. Docenten kunnen dit als lesmateriaal gebruiken om studenten zowel individueel te laten nadenken over hun dagelijks leven, of klassikaal er doorheen te gaan.

The Evolution of Structural Glass Design

In this video, James O'Callaghan traces structural glass from its emergence in the mid‑1990s as a substitute for wood and steel through to its use in the present day. Glass offers unique transparency, strength, and stiffness, making it suitable for beams, floors, and columns. However, its purely elastic behavior provides no warning before failure. Key challenges center mainly on connections, where failure can occur without visible signs of overstress. Because bolted connections create such problematic local stresses, novel inserted connections were developed to preserve transparency and improve structural efficiency . Realised projects include Apple's Fifth Avenue cube (2006 and 2011), Zorlu in Istanbul, and the Steve Jobs Theater. Lastly, James O'Callaghan advises future engineers to approach glass with curiosity, not limiting it to windows or structural roles, but exploring its full potential. Despite its embodied carbon, glass remains vital for connecting people to light and the outdoors. Its future depends on fresh, naive eyes that ask what glass can do, not what it has done. The video was produced by the Open GLASSroom project. Special thanks to James O'Callaghan for contributing to the Open GLASSroom OER collection.

Chapter 3: Bandsaw

This chapter introduces the bandsaw and its use in an educational woodworking shop. It explains the main components and functions of the machine, including the blade, wheels, guides, blade guard and work table. The chapter covers safe setup and operation for straight and curved cuts, including blade selection, tension, guide adjustment, workpiece positioning and feed rate. It also addresses relief cuts for tight curves and common safety hazards. A practical exercise demonstrates how to use the bandsaw to cut the shape of a wooden push stick.

The Project Intersection

Main Concepts Project Intersection: The balanced overlap between user stories (what/why), requirements (how), and constraints (when/who/with what). Points of tension: Conflicts or misalignments between design ideas, technical requirements, and project limitations. Balance / "the sweet spot" of the project intersection: The state where research goals, technical implementation, and project limits are aligned and feasible. Trade-offs: Deliberate decisions to prioritize one aspect (e.g., time, creativity, precision) while accepting limits in another. Learning Goals Understand the visual and conceptual model of the Project Intersection. Recognize points of tension between design, development and project management. Use communication and planning strategies to find a balance between over- and under-specifying Reflect on trade-offs between different perspectives. Key Takeaways The sweet spot of a project lies where user stories, requirements, and management factors meet. Over-specifying or under-specifying leads to misinterpretation and lost value. Early conversations between designers, researchers, and developers prevent imbalance. Trade-offs are normal; documenting and discussing them keeps projects transparent. A balanced intersection ensures the project is not just built — but built with purpose. Further Exploration Search for “Venn diagram project management balance” Search for “how to connect user stories and requirements” Search for “MoSCoW prioritization examples in research projects” Search for “design constraints and trade-offs in innovation”

Byzantium & Friends | 150. Why were pseudo-Arabic inscriptions placed on churches in Greece?, with Alicia Walker Thursday Feb 12, 2026

A conversation with Alicia Walker (Bryn Mawr College) on the pseudo-Arabic inscriptions (or pseudo-kufic) that appear on a number of tenth- and eleventh-century churches in Greece, most notably at the monastery of Hosios Loukas. What did the Arabic script signify in Orthodox culture at the time if not tension with Islam? The conversation is based on Alicia's essay 'Letters from the Edge: Mapping Pseudo-Arabic between Byzantium and the Near East,' in E. Bolman et al., eds., Worlds of Byzantium: Religion, Culture, and Empire in the Medieval Near East (Cambridge University Press 2024). Alicia also prepared a video version of our conversation with images of the places and objects we discuss: you can find it at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wqoBeFpWots

Self-study module Introduction to Plant Biology - Water in plants

This self-study module is part of the series ‘Introduction to Plant Biology’ and focuses on the role of water in plants, explaining how water is taken up, transported, and regulated to support plant growth and survival. It is designed for students learning basic plant biology and for teachers seeking clear figures and explanations for educational use. The module covers water uptake by roots, long-distance water transport through the xylem and phloem, the relationship between stomata and transpiration, and examines how environmental factors influence these processes.

The Stream-of-Consciousness (SoC) Dialogue Method

Using timed speaking turns, alternating roles (speaking and listening), and carefully crafted ‘prompts’ (sentence starters), this simple but potent method gradually moves pairs into deeper layers of exploration and sharing, while fostering reflection, attentive listening, and connection.

Fracture Mechanics Fundamentals

In this video, Daniel Trias Mansilla explains the core principles of fracture mechanics, which provides an alternative to traditional stress analysis by accounting for the inherent cracks and defects in real materials. The field introduces two main criteria for predicting failure. The first is an energy-based approach, using the energy release rate (G), which measures the energy available to propagate a crack. The second is a stress-based approach, using the stress intensity factor (K), which characterizes the intense stress field near a crack tip. Fracture occurs when either of these values reaches a critical threshold (Gc or Kc), which are material properties known as fracture toughness. These concepts allow engineers to predict failure in flawed components more accurately than traditional methods. The video was produced by the Open GLASSroom project.
