Initial Reflections on The Hyperlinked Library MOOC and the Badges I Have Acq... - 0 views

  •  
    Reactions to badges for the hyperlinked library MOOC by Brian Kelly. He found all the badges he was awarded for various tasks: join a tribe; send a friendship request, accept a friendship request, update his MOOC avatar, plus, another badge just for receiving 5 badges. He found all this badge awarding for these simple tasks "cheesy" and that the system was patronizing him. However, he does acknowledge that it may motivate others. He also brought up the issue of cultural diversity. This MOOC has participants from all over the world. How will they find badges?

Can Digital Badges Help Encourage Professors to Take Teaching Workshops? - Wired Campus... - 0 views

  •  
    Article by Jeffrey R. Young, June 9, 2015 in the Chronicle of HE on incentive value of badges for professors to take teaching workshops. Should we offer a badge for ECO completers? "Still, badges are probably more valuable to professors than are the paper certificates that Kent State traditionally gave to those who completed training workshops in the past. "It's an easy way for a professor to show that I'm that type of faculty member that goes and does faculty development," said Ms. Kelly."

Privacy Versus The 'Tyranny Of The Algorithm' - 0 views

  • A recent study looked at more than 500,000 tweets about depression, took 4,000 tweets that mentioned a diagnosis or medication, and followed those Twitter users in order to create an app that predicts suicide. This use of tweets crosses a line, Peel said. "This is far more intrusive" than standard data-gathering from social media.
  • Medical data is also valuable to criminals
  • Criminals are after electronic medical records, as well as prescriptions and insurance information to pay for their own medical expenses or to acquire prescription drugs illegally.

  • David Vladeck, former director of the Federal Trade Commission's Consumer Protection Bureau
  • It's what I call the tyranny of the algorithm," Vladeck said. "What happens on the Internet is driven by algorithms. There are ethical constraints that need to be debated."

Work-life balance not just a women's issue - CNN.com - 0 views

  •  
    by Kelly Wallace Finding work life balance needs to be reframed as a person, not working Mom, issue, especially since we are all connected 24/7. Companies are becoming less flexible, not more, especially after Yahoo banned working from home. Men want flexibility as well, and statistics show more men than women telecommute, which defies the popular conception of working moms being the highest percentage of telecommunters. Until the conversation includes everyone, not just focuses on women, there will be no change in perception of the issue in the c-suite.
