edna is a large repository referencing thousands of online resources for education, training and research. You can search, browse and even contribute your own education news, events and resources to the education community. edna is not a Google or Yahoo! style search engine. These use computer programs to automate finding data for their databases. Everything available through edna has been quality reviewed and described by an authorised information officer at either education.au or at an affiliated education organisation. Therefore you can be confident in the quality of your search results. edna does not actually create or store education and training resources; it describes and points to where resources can be found - providing you with a single place to find them all.

Our research covers the discovery of mineral resources; efficient, safe and environmentally responsible mining of those resources; transformation of these resources into 1) concentrates and mineral products, 2) processed minerals, such as alumina and synthetic rutile, 3) metal products, such as ingots, bars, billets and sheets; and the development of tools and technologies to improve monitoring and processing at each stage.

"In this interactive activity adapted from the Wisconsin Online Resource Center, explore how data are transmitted in computer systems. Animated diagrams illustrate how data are transferred in parallel form inside a computer, and then converted to serial form for transmission over long distances. Learn about bandwidth capacity techniques, including how modems convert the binary data into analog signals" - from the Teachers Domain Media Resources for Higher Education

"This paper describes the way in which series of undergraduate units have been implemented on-line, using the internet as a means for reaching distance students pursuing postgraduate studies in Cartography and GIScience. It presents the way in which learning resources have been designed and implemented in a Web-based environment where the students can access the unit's study plan, on-line tutorials, hold discussion forums, consult study resources and complete quizzes that enable to monitor their progress within the unit."

This wonderful resource contains videos, interactive labs, images, interviews with scientists, an online textbook with high quality photos and graphics, and a professional development guide that describes how to run the course.
