What it does The link checker reads an HTML or XHTML document and extracts a list of anchors and links. It checks that no anchor is defined twice. It then checks that all the links are dereferenceable, including the fragments. It warns about HTTP redirects, including directory redirects. It can check recursively a part of a Web site. There is a command line version and a CGI version. They both support HTTP basic authentication. This is achieved in the CGI version by passing through the authorization information from the user browser to the site tested. http://validator.w3.org/checklink |

Moving Image Gateway
> Science
and Technology
The Moving Image Gateway (MIG) is a new service that collects together websites that relate to moving images and sound and their use in higher and further education. The sites are classified by academic discipline, some forty subjects from Agriculture to Women's Studies, collected within the four main categories of Arts & Humanities, Bio-Medical, Social Sciences and Science & Technology. Each site has been evaluated and described by the BUFVC's Information Service, which regularly checks and updates the database. Sites are highlighted which have video or audio streaming. There are some 600 sites on the MIG database at present, and it continues to grow at the rate of ten per month.

3. Provide opportunities for choice and independent decision-making
4. Provide diverse range of ways of experiencing success
5. Promote talk which is exploratory, tentative and hypothetical
6. Encourage students to learn from other students' questions and comments
7. Build a classroom environment that supports risk-taking
8. Use a wide variety of intellectually challenging teaching procedures
9. Use teaching procedures that are designed to promote specific aspects of quality learning
10. Develop students' awareness of the big picture: how the various activities fit together and link to the big ideas
11. Regularly raise students' awareness of the nature of different aspects of quality learning
12. Promote assessment as part of the learning process

Australian Weather Watch Radar Home Page |

Our radar images show the location of rain in relation to local features
such as the coastline, with different colours used to depict rainfall
intensity. For example royal blue represents light drizzle, while red
is used to depict very heavy rain (possibly containing hailstones). There
are six levels of rainfall intensity shown - see the colour-coded key
below each radar image. The images are in scales of 128 km radius and
256 km radius. State boundaries are indicated, as are abbreviated state
and town names. We strongly recommend that you refer to Interpreting
Weather Watch Radar Images for further information. Radar images are normally updated every 10 minutes, however note that there are full and part-time radars. Part-time radars have scheduled daily outages. |

by the Victorian Institute of Teaching Act 2001.
It will regulate and promote
the profession of teaching to raise the status of teaching and build the morale

All teachers employed in government, Catholic and independent
schools will be required to be registered with the Institute.
The VIT will
be the single registration authority for all teachers and replaces the teacher
