    I'm not sure if this is a web2.0 tool, but I found this site interesting. Original ideas, knowledge, projects, music, videos, and etc. can be shared with others. The authors of these tools can claim licenses on this site to protect their work. In addition, the site provides users with millions of videos, songs, content, academic activities etc. that you can legally use for free.

    After checking out Vanessa's post on Creative Commons, I googled the title of this post and found an easy to read article that sheds some light as to the power of our tools and providing Open Education. There is mention of C.C. as I think the two are interlinked. When I see stuff like this, it gives me hope that we're moving in the right direction (maybe taking a side step or two along the way).

    A Google a Day provides daily trivia, and can be a fun way to teach your students important online research skills.
  • Alyn Minnerly on 10 Jul 12
     
    Hi Fabrizio, I just tried the Google a Day and I like the concept very much. However, unless I was doing something wrong, I found it cumbersome to do the research and get back to the original question. In addition, when I tried to access Google Map, which was needed for answering today's question, it said it would not support it in the Google a Day window. So I opend GM up in another window. Did you experience something similiar? With that being said, I think the idea is great, especially since they give you tips and hints at how to find the answer. I think researching tips and exercises are very important, even for graduate students. You can never get enough practice in researching topics. Thanks for sharing this, I really liked it.
  • Fabrizio Fornara on 13 Jul 12
     
    When I type a research on the search box it opens a pop-up window with the data, so I have two pages open, the A Google a Day one and the search one. I think it works pretty well on Chrome, I didn't have any problem, but I haven't tried it with other browsers. A Google a Day is fun and challenging; however, I don't think you can learn too much from your answers, they are too general. Maybe in the future there will be a way to customize it and create your own challenges, it would be really interesting to use with our students/learners.

    This article is fantastic. I like how the author is acknowledging that creating a MOOC will seem daunting to newbies, but her detailedness calmed my fears of doing something like that. As I explored the article and its links, I switched from being overwhelmed at the thought of creating one to having a flood of ideas on what I could do in such an environment. What a transitition!

    I think the articles are great, I looked at a few of the parts. Nice descriptions and screenshots. I haven't asked this before, and maybe I should know this but what are the RSS feeds? I have ignored them because I didn't know what they were. Since part 2 tells me how to add them to my site, I wonder what they are.
  • Fabrizio Fornara on 26 Jul 12
     
    Thank you very much for sharing this, Vanessa, I'm going to try it, it seems like a great platform to use. Fran, basically if you want to follow a blog or a website and don't want to check every day if there's something new published, you add this blog/website to a feed reader (I use Google Reader) and see all the new posts of the different blogs and websites published on the same page. This is (more or less) a RSS feed. Such a great help for managing information!

    Moodle is a free web-based LMS that allows you to build learning sites including online courses.
  • Alyn Minnerly on 28 Jul 12
     
    I have checked out Moodle before and have read articles that seems to favor this over Blackboard. However, even though its free, it may be a challenge for some universities to switch over. The hidden costs are high.
  • Fabrizio Fornara on 28 Jul 12
     
    I used Moodle for several years at my former school, in Spain. It's a great LMS, not too different from Blackboard. It's free but, at a school level you still have to have an IT department for the maintenance, or pay an external administrator. If I were a principal, I would choose Moodle over Blackboard.

Understanding Context Collapse Can Mean a More Fulfilling Online Life | Rewire - 2 views

Ömer Arslan liked it
  • Tech researchers say this is partially the fault of a phenomenon called "context collapse," a sociological concept that describes what happens when many social groups exist in one space.Here's how context collapse plays out online. When you have Facebook friends numbering in the thousands, your audience becomes a little difficult to speak to all at once.In an article for sapiens.org, Sophia Goodman described it as “trying to comfortably chat with your mother, bar buddy, work colleague, and ex-boyfriend at the same time.”In a place where parents, colleagues, bosses and friends all congregate, you can find it difficult to be yourself. Or, rather, to decide which self to be.

  • Understanding the sociology of social media means you can be more mindful about how you use it. Hopefully, your online life will be more fulfilling because of it. Or, maybe you'll decide to give it up all together.If you do stick around, don’t expect to ever find that “authentic” online version of yourself.“There really isn’t such a thing,” Marwick said. “It’s really always a performance."

  • There are three basic strategies people have adopted to deal with the reality of posting online.The "lowest common denominator” strategy, or only making posts that you're comfortable with anybody seeing, staying away from anything controversial or overly personal.“Social syphentation,” or migrating your conversation to a place where you have a smaller audience, like a group text, Instagram DMs or Snapchat, where the context and audience are clear.People are also avoiding context collapse by turning to more ephemeral mediums, like Instagram stories and Snapchat. These posts don’t stick around, so you can share without as much worry about the consequences.

      Lowest common denominator is usually the way I go. Although, I am opening up more within my social media outlets

  • Muller et al (2012) noted how social media were appropriated differently across groups when creating and using shared resources and forming relationships. The variation of usage could result in isolation of both resources and groups and create barriers for information sharing as well as reduce networking (Yuan et al., 2013).
  • leading to potentially conflicting modes of communication.
  • As researchers continue to study social media, contradictory findings show that their self‐organising and open‐ended nature makes it difficult to predict the actual adoption and use within the workplace, and how they contribute to maintaining coherence in work activities.

AI ChatGPT intellectualproperty authorship ownership

shared by msoichot on 24 Jun 23 - No Cached
msoichot and s_jian liked it
  • because you can’t predict exactly what a generative AI tool will create, you can’t copyright it.
  • The Copyright Office equated the text prompts to telling an artist about an idea you have for a painting, then trying to copyright the work after they paint it.
  • That makes sense if all you provided the artist was ideas, because ideas are not protectable and the painter did the creative work that gives them “authorship,”
  • ...9 more annotations...
  • Lisa says she would’ve expected the Copyright Office to focus more on the nature of the inputs
  • how much human involvement does a creator have to exert over a machine to claim ownership of its output? 
  • This isn’t the first time the legal system has wrestled with that question. It first came up when cameras were invented; the argument then was that you couldn’t protect a photograph as your own, since the machine was the one capturing the image.
  • The Copyright Office, surprisingly, introduced this predictability standard instead.
  • He used the amusing analogy of Jackson Pollock, who made his art by flinging paint around and seeing what happened; nobody questioned his ability to copyright those works.
  • But in a more salient point for creators, the lawyer argued that the Copyright Office was “incorrectly focusing on the output of the tool rather than the input from the human.”
  • the best thing you can do is to be sure you’re employing as much human creativity in the process as possible.
  • This might mean writing prompts with as much detail as possible
  • A final note: as Lisa points out, the Copyright Office did indicate that if someone sufficiently modifies generated output, that could be protectable. So, If you’re using generative AI as a starting point — e.g., using ChatGPT to create a rough draft and then re-writing it for your own voice — be sure you document the changes you made before you try to file for copyright protection, and then explain it in the application.

    This is good information regarding the use of generative AI. I concur with the author that AI-created information should be used as a starting point for developing instructional materials. It should not remove the instructional designer from the process. After all, they would be most knowledgeable about the instructional needs of their learners and the delivery methods available to them.
