An combination of an understanding of what they are learning in the classroom, and an assessment of self, gives clarity to them on future careers http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=736489 This is a free online textbook offered by InTech.'This book provides an insight for students, researchers and practitioners on the area of vehicular communications explaining and presenting solutions for some of the most critical issues in this field and, hopefully, inspiring new research directions. The book is organized in Sections, which respond to different layers and aspects of the vehicular technology: infrastructures, cells deployment and its integration with the V2V part, access procedures, advanced services and applications as localization, spectrum sensing, relay-based cooperative networks.' http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=736182 This is a short resource written in PPT that will allow students to learn the basics of using a check register. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=736137 This is a free textbook that can be used in 'for diploma and degree level students to understand what is taught in trade training.

Any user with a willingness to be involved in this community can create pages, publish material, or improve existing articles on a more or less equal footing. The result is still in it's infancy, but the ultimate goal is to produce a site where students, staff, and faculty can post information relevant to their work with LCC. User pages can contain personal profiles or detailed resumes/CVs. The class pages can contain most of the information currently on Moodle with a more versatile structure. Students can post, collaborate, and revise material linking it to a user profile and an assignment page. Academic papers can be written in a more vocationally relevant form (i.e. wikitext with diligent internal and external linking to provide source information). Most excitingly, this format provides the opportunity for realistic and practical group collaborative projects wherein all work modifies a single text and all contribution can be easily traced back to an individual contributor. No more riding the coattails or getting stuck with the bag in a group project. All that it needs now is your input, so please, explore, publish, revise, contribute, create. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=731928 Skid-Steer Loader Safety.
