Making EU copyright rules fit for the digital age Delivering on its Digital Single Market strategy, the Commission today presents a proposal to allow Europeans to travel with their online content and an action plan to modernise EU copyright rules.

As reported by Nesta, an innovation charity with a mission to help people and organisations bring great ideas to life: As technology shapes our world, young people need to be able to shape it too. As skills and work become increasingly technologically mediated, the need for digital skills is paramount with some calculating a potential £2 billion loss to the UK economy from unfilled roles requiring such skills. After several years working with organisations supporting digital making, and with creating with technology set to go mainstream through a forthcoming BBC campaign, this report takes stock of what is happening. Key Findings: 82 per cent of young people say they are interested in digital making. However, half of young people make things with digital technology less than once a week or never. Parents are overwhelmingly supportive of digital making. 89 per cent think it is a worthwhile activity for their children. 73 per cent encourage their children to make things with technology. We identified 130,800 opportunities to experience digital making provided by the organisations surveyed. This is a long way from providing for the interest shown by 82 per cent of our survey, which represents a possible 8.2 million school age children and young people in the UK. Digital making is powered not just by money, but also by volunteers. Two thirds of the organisations identified said they relied on volunteers to do their work. Only half of teachers who teach ICT or computing report being confident in teaching the curriculum.

À l'initiative de Jacques Attali, nous préparons un programme pour l'élection présidentielle de mai 2017. Un programme ambitieux, qui couvrira tous les sujets. Nous le publierons avant la fin de novembre 2015, pour susciter, dès janvier 2016, des débats dans tout le pays et dans tous les partis. Pour que la prochaine élection présidentielle décide du lancement immédiat d'un vaste programme de réformes, et pas seulement, comme trop souvent, du seul choix d'un hôte de l'Elysée. Pour qu'en mai 2022, quand ce mandat se terminera, notre pays soit plus juste, plus fraternel, plus heureux, plus libre, plus sûr. Afin d'établir le meilleur programme possible, nous rassemblons des experts ; nous étudions les innombrables rapports disponibles ; nous consultons tous ceux qui le veulent bien. Nous avons en particulier besoin de vous. Et de votre réponse à ces trois questions : 1. Quelles sont pour vous les principaux problèmes du pays ? 2. Quelles réformes souhaiteriez-vous voir menées par le prochain Président? 3. Quelles bonnes pratiques, transposables en France, avez-vous eu à connaitre dans d'autres pays ?

Go to school, listen to your teacher lecture, go home, do your homework. For centuries, this has been the way that school's been done. But now, a new model of teaching is turning the traditional classroom on its head. Under the flipped classroom model, students watch lectures at home, online. Class time is reserved for collaborative activities that help reinforce concepts and increase engagement. The present infographic on the Flipped Classroom has been published by knewton.com. it is mainly focused on the US market, but it translates a a deep coming change in the education sector and in the communication sector as well within the society. At MAC-Team, we have already been developing successful pilot approaches of the Flipped Classroom in 2013 in the WikiSkills project. Active and collaborative learning can go one step further where the students/learners have an active learning/teaching role, and where the teachers and the other stakeholders (educational governance, companies ...) also get involved and contribute in a new relationship model.
