This German e-learning module features illustrated video lectures in English on Integrated Water Resources Management. The resource was developed by IWAS (International Water Research Alliance Saxony), together with the German IHP/HWRP (International Hydrological Programme of UNESCO and Hydrology and Water Resources Programme of WMO). The 39 lectures are divided into various interlinking sections, arranged to reflect the complexity and interdisciplinary nature of water management, and cover geographical, economic and technical aspects of the subject. The site also features a dropdown menu of keywords which can be used to facilitate searches. Each lecture is accompanied by slides, timelines and abstracts. A user guide explains how to get the most out of the resource.

This website is the result of an AHRC-funded project to explore the relationship of film history, memory and the urban landscape of Liverpool from 1897 to the 1980s. Liverpool is one of Britain’s most filmed cities and one of the project’s achievements has been the creation of an online catalogue listing around 1700 films, particularly those which record the city’s urban landscape, documenting locations, landmarks and buildings. Consequently the emphasis is on amateur, newsreel, travelogues and promotional films, rather than fiction or feature films. In addition to the usual searches by genre, date etc. users can also search the catalogue by spatial and geographic information specific to each title.
There are also a number of videos, filmed at various events held throughout the project’s duration. Here writer Iain Sinclair talks about his view of Liverpool as an outsider. In this video Ethel Singleton speaks about her role in the Nick Broomfield documentary Behind the Rent Strike (1974), about the action undertaken by tenants in Kirkby New Town in December 1972 in protest at the Housing Finance Bill.

This interactive site allows you to scroll in and out to see the relative size of objects from the smallest - quantum foam and string - to the largest - the universe - and plenty of examples in between. Each of the items are clickable to show interesting facts or give more information about the item. For example, it tells us that ‘Rhode Island at 75 kilometres is the smallest state in the USA. However, it could still fit the world’s population on it.' The site was created for fun by a fourteen year old boy from California, with help from his twin brother. The site is also available in several world languages including even Esperanto.
