Edgar Dale (April 27, 1900, in Benson, Minnesota, – March 8, 1985, in Columbus, Ohio) was an American educator who developed the Cone of Experience, also known as the Learning Pyramid. He made several contributions to audio and visual instruction, including a methodology for analyzing the content of motion pictures .
A right circular cone and an oblique circular cone A double cone (not shown infinitely extended) 3D model of a cone. A cone is a three-dimensional geometric shape that tapers smoothly from a flat base (frequently, though not necessarily, circular) to a point called the apex or vertex that is not contained in the base.
The disk-shaped cross-sectional area of the sphere is equal to the ring-shaped cross-sectional area of the cylinder part that lies outside the cone. If one knows that the volume of a cone is (), then one can use Cavalieri's principle to derive the fact that the volume of a sphere is , where is the radius.
An elliptic cone, a special case of a conical surface, shown truncated for simplicity In geometry , a conical surface is an unbounded three-dimensional surface formed from the union of infinite lines that pass through a fixed point and a space curve .
Writing across the curriculum (WAC) is a movement within contemporary composition studies that concerns itself with writing in classes beyond composition, literature, and other English courses. According to a comprehensive survey performed in 2006–2007, approximately half of American institutes of higher learning have something that can be ...
The KWL chart was created by Donna Ogle in 1986. [2] A KWL chart can be used for all subjects in a whole group or small group atmosphere. The chart is a comprehension strategy used to activate background knowledge prior to reading and is completely student centered. The teacher divides a piece of chart paper into three columns.
A subset of a vector space over an ordered field is a cone (or sometimes called a linear cone) if for each in and positive scalar in , the product is in . [2] Note that some authors define cone with the scalar ranging over all non-negative scalars (rather than all positive scalars, which does not include 0). [3]
