    "In order to help reduce the gap between industrialized countries and those in the emerging economy, UNESCO has decided to adopt an Open Access Policy for its publications by making use of a new dimension of knowledge sharing - Open Access. Open Access means free access to scientific information and unrestricted use of electronic data for everyone. With Open Access, expensive prices and copyrights will no longer be obstacles to the dissemination of knowledge. Everyone is free to add information, modify contents, translate texts into other languages, and disseminate an entire electronic publication."

    "¿Cómo explicar qué es el 'Open Source'? opensourcelegoWordPress se ha beneficiado mucho del software libre bajo la licencia GPL. Pero, ¿qué significa realmente Open Source? BIT Blueprint ha creado un vídeo educativo en 'stop motion' sobre el tema y usando ¡LEGO! "Seamos honestos, el término 'open source' no está aceptado masivamente ¿Por qué? Bueno, para que un mensaje pueda llegar a una gran audiencia debe transmitirse de manera correcta. Para que todos puedan entender un concepto hay que ofrecer una explicación sencilla, una que no parezca erudita y técnica". Si bien el vídeo no refleja los matices entre el software libre y el código abierto, es una gran introducción para las personas que ignoran el tema. También hace un buen trabajo para disipar los mitos más comunes, como: Que no se tiene ningún control sobre el trabajo (Falso) Que abierto significa inseguro (Falso) Que todo es libre (Falso) Fuente: BIT Blueprint y Numerama. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a8fHgx9mE5U "

    Para cuando tus alumnos, colegas, directivos, o alguien te pregunte... o simplemente porque no lo sabés y está bueno que si "Este 28 de agosto de celebra el día Internacional del Software Libre, buen momento para recordar en qué consiste es movimiento. Aquí tienes algunos recursos en audio y video para hablar de este tema en tu radio. Muchas veces se confunde este término con Open Source o con software gratuito o pensamos que se limita a hablar de GNU/Linux. Pero no es así, el Software Libre va mucho más allá. Es un estilo de vida. Tiene que ver con la libertad. Richard Stallman, unos de los principales promotores de esta filosofía siempre dice que: "Con el software, o los usuarios tienen el control del programa o el programa tiene el control de sus usuarios. Siempre es uno u otro." A diario, proporcionamos mucha de nuestra información en redes sociales, programas y en espacios inseguros. ¿Estamos conscientes de eso? Usamos servicios que son gratuitos pero no libres y les damos el control y el poder de usar nuestros datos, como ellos crean convenientes. Por eso, creemos y apostamos por las tecnologías libres y, sobre todo, en el software libre como un sinónimo de libertad. Aprovecha este 28 de agosto para informarte e informar a tu audiencia.

Small Changes in Teaching: The First 5 Minutes of Class - 0 views

  •  
    "Open with a question or two. Another favorite education writer of mine, the cognitive psychologist Daniel Willingham, argues that teachers should focus more on the use of questions. "The material I want students to learn," he writes in his book Why Don't Students Like School?, "is actually the answer to a question. On its own, the answer is almost never interesting. But if you know the question, the answer may be quite interesting." My colleague Greg Weiner, an associate professor of political science, puts those ideas into practice. At the beginning of class, he shows four or five questions on a slide for students to consider. Class then proceeds in the usual fashion. At the end, he returns to the questions so that students can both see some potential answers and understand that they have learned something that day. What did we learn last time? A favorite activity of many instructors is to spend a few minutes at the opening of class reviewing what happened in the previous session. That makes perfect sense, and is supported by the idea that we don't learn from single exposure to material - we need to return frequently to whatever we are attempting to master.But instead of offering a capsule review to students, why not ask them to offer one back to you?Reactivate what they learned in previous courses. Plenty of excellent evidence suggests that whatever knowledge students bring into a course has a major influence on what they take away from it. So a sure-fire technique to improve student learning is to begin class by revisiting, not just what they learned in the previous session, but what they already knew about the subject matter.Write it down. All three of the previous activities would benefit from having students spend a few minutes writing down their responses. That way, every student has the opportunity to answer the question, practice memory retrieval from the previous session, or surface their prior knowledge - and not just the students most likely to

Conflict-Free And Easy To Repair, The Fairphone Is The World's Most Ethical Phone | Co.... - 0 views

  •  
    "The Fairphone is a modular handset designed with repairability and ethical sourcing of its materials as headline features. It sold 60,000 units. Amazingly, for what sounds like a nerd-phone, almost half of those buyers had never owned a smartphone before. Now the Fairphone 2 is launching, and with a totally-new, in-house design. The new phone is even easier to repair, and because it was wholly designed by the FairPhone team, its supply chain is even more responsible than ever. The Fairphone is thicker than the latest iPhone or Samsung flagship, but that's the point. Instead of packing everything into a tiny case and keeping it there with glue, the Fairphone is designed to be taken apart. The lightweight magnesium frame supports modules that can be easily replaced by the user. "We have designed it with an aim to last three to five years, looking at making it robust and modular-for repairability," says Fairphone's chief communications officer, Tessa Wernink. "Obviously how long it lasts depends quite heavily on the user, so what we as a company are doing is offering an ecosystem around the phone that supports long-lasting use, first-hand or second-hand." Inside the case (itself one of several options) you'll find the core unit, containing all the chips and radios; a replaceable battery pack; a display that can be snapped off and replaced without any tools (not even a screwdriver); a receiver unit, which contains the front camera, sensors; the headset connector and microphones; a speaker/vibrator unit; and a camera module. These modules are designed to balance manufacturing complexity with repairability. For instance, the display comes as a standalone unit, but less-vulnerable components are bundled into one module. The camera, which people are most likely to upgrade as better versions become available, is also housed in its own module. That way you don't need to toss out your whole phone just to get a better camera. "In fact, the motto from the maker mo

The Medium is the Message, McLuhan en 2' - 0 views

    "Is the form that you receive a message as significant as the message itself? Marshall McLuhan argued that throughout history what has been communicated has been less important than the particular medium through which people communicate. The technology that transfers the message changes us and changes society, the individual, the family, work, leisure and more. Narrated by Gillian Anderson. Scripted by Nigel Warburton. From the BBC Radio 4 series about life's big questions - A History of Ideas. This project is from the BBC in partnership with The Open University, the animations were created by Cognitive."

MapMap - open source video mapping software - 1 views

  •  
    "MapMap is a free, open source software for projection mapping aimed at artists and small teams. Its intuitive interface facilitates learning and promotes artistic expression. This software is available on Windows, OSX, and Linux. MapMap gives users the ability to projection map on any surface of choice. Mapmap takes media sources and gives users the ability to manipulate the media into different positions and shapes. Media sources can come from any various accepted media formats. With an easy to understand interface, new users can get started in minutes. Projection mapping, also known as video mapping and spatial augmented reality, is a projection technology used to turn objects, often irregularly shaped, into a display surface for video projection. These objects may be complex industrial landscapes, such as buildings. By using specialized software, a two or three dimensional object is spatially mapped on the virtual program which mimics the real environment it is to be projected on. The software can interact with a projector to fit any desired image onto the surface of that object. This technique is used by artists and advertisers alike who can add extra dimensions, optical illusions, and notions of movement onto previously static objects. The video is commonly combined with, or triggered by, audio to create an audio-visual narrative."
