    Books aren't data The EPUB format is strictly XML-based. From the metadata to the table of contents to the book content, an EPUB file must be almost entirely composed of text marked up in well-defined XML schemas. Those schemas allow the EPUB book to be validated by a computer program that follows the schema and other well-defined business rules, ensuring consistent production. At the other end of the workflow, those same schemas would assure reading systems of the predictability of the books added to them.

  • Collective intelligence is the hook to your participation and existence in these networks [in my humble opinion, that is]; the social interaction what brings it all together
  • My network is very important to me because it provides me with an alternative platform to test my ideas, to build new ideas, and to learn from other people’s ideas.
  • this is a perfect shapshot of so many of us who are active online in the various social network,

Is Mobile Learning Relevant in Developing Countries? - 1 views

shared by Kev Harland on 12 Feb 14 - No Cached
  • foreign intervention is less desirable than autonomous growth and innovation
  • M-Pesa (“mobile money” in Swahili) is a Kenyan mobile phone service which allows people to pay or transfer money to any other mobile phone user. It came about to meet the needs of a population poorly served by traditional banking services, before spreading throughout Africa, and is now among the most advanced mobile payment systems in the world. It’s different from your typical money transfer, because it doesn’t rely on bank accounts
  • Today, over 50% of adult Kenyans use the service to transfer money and pay for bills and even shopping

  • At first, the internet made the world more global; now, the internet itself is becoming more local. The various fora and message boards serve as increasingly rich archives of dialogues – where a problem has been solved once, that solution can be sought by anyone
  • Anyone with access to Google can leverage the collective wisdom of the masses
  • he advent of cloud computing and crowd-sourcing means that individuals can now create and distribute their own educational content with little to no overhead
  • Udemy is one such platform, enabling educational content to be sourced from individuals rather than publishing houses (though a number of publishers do use the platform). Anyone can upload a lesson, and anyone can take a lesson
  • These platforms, which empower the individual, are significant because they enable highly local, highly specific learning content
  • While publishing houses need to generalise their content and target the largest audience, an individual is under no such imperative.
  • it becomes more and more feasible for anyone, anywhere to share their knowledge
  • it’s not poorer nations that benefit from the benevolence of richer ones – rather, the transaction becomes more individual
  • One person, anywhere, can learn, and can teach, another person. That person can be their neighbour or someone on the other side of the planet. And if the concept of reverse innovation shows anything, it’s that the East can teach the West a thing or two.

  • The context into where a student learned knowledge was helpful, but not seen as a key component as it is today.
  • Teaching from books instead of everyday life assumes that the knowledge within the book is self-contained. Dictionaries are most useful to an experienced reader who refers to them with a specific context already in mind.

  • This makes it permissible to embed the videos into learning materials as the YouTube player is the means by which this happens, in contrast to downloading and converting them to another format which is not automatically permitted.
  • This is, however, on the basis that the video has been uploaded with the permission of the rightsholder and thus not infringing copyright in the first place.
