    Blog post identified by Brenda Kaulback for CPsquare Inquiry 2013. Blog by Scott Jaschik, August 19, 2013, focuses on the DOCC, a MOOC feminized with different values and pedagogy. Excerpt "The DOCC aims to challenge MOOC thinking about the role of the instructor, about the role of money, about hierarchy, about the value of "massive," and many other things. The first DOCC will be offered for credit at 17 colleges this coming semester, as well in a more MOOC-style approach in which videos and materials are available online for anyone." Excerpt: "A DOCC is different from a MOOC in that it doesn't deliver a centralized singular syllabus to all the participants. Rather it organizes around a central topic," Balsamo said. "It recognizes that, based on deep feminist pedagogical commitments, expertise is distributed throughout all the participants in a learning activity," and does not just reside with one or two individuals.

  • Algorithms have become one of the most powerful arbiters in our lives. They make decisions about the news we read, the jobs we get, the people we meet, the schools we attend and the ads we see. Yet there is growing evidence that algorithms and other types of software can discriminate.
  • The people who write them incorporate their biases, and algorithms often learn from human behavior, so they reflect the biases we hold.
  • Fairness, Accountability and Transparency in Machine Learning workshop, which considers the role that machines play in consequential decisions in areas like employment, health care and policing.

  • The tech world is notoriously resistant to regulation, but do you believe it might be necessary to ensure fairness in algorithms? Yes, just as regulation currently plays a role in certain contexts, such as advertising jobs and extending credit.
  • Should computer science education include lessons on how to be aware of these issues and the various approaches to addressing them? Absolutely!

  • The key is to develop the capacity to move rapidly to reap the most benefit from influence, leverage and learning. Firms and other institutions need to cultivate the ability to participate in an expanding range of knowledge flows effectively. 
  • They must also find ways to effectively filter through this expanding range of knowledge flows to extract the insights and approaches that have the potential to create the most value. Finally, they also need to quickly turn around and apply these insights and approaches both within their organization and across a broader range of participants in the system. In sum, the winners will be those who master the techniques required for scalable learning.
  • These are proactive strategies of movement – designed to strengthen influence points by harnessing their learning potential. If done right, it creates a powerful virtuous cycle – more effective learning attracts others and expands influence which in turn increases the potential for further learning.  To borrow a favorite phrase from my colleague, John Seely Brown, we trigger a generative dance between position and movement that takes us to unforeseen levels of impact.
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • Here are some key questions you should be asking and answering:   Who occupies influence points today within my market or industry? What are potential new influence points that might emerge from the fundamental forces reshaping my market or industry? Who is working to build and occupy new influence points? Have I built robust relationships with these players?
  • One final thought – what if we applied this strategic notion of influence points and accelerated learning to our individual lives? How could we increase our personal impact?

    John Hagel is a co-chair of Deloitte Center for the Edge. Here he talks about influence points and positioning oneself among influence points through our technology enabled connections. Power laws still concentrate an extraordinary # of connections around a few nodes. But having access to knowledge flows, one will be able to anticipate what's going to happen before others do, one could perhaps shape the flows and more rapid learning may occur because of access to a growing and diverse set of information or knowledge flows. Learning faster than anyone else will enable a company or person to "have a significant advantage relative to those who are scrambling to catch up." Uses the PC microprocessor and operating system components to concretize influence points.

  • Those platforms that don’t help participants to learn faster and faster as they work together will tend to be marginalized over time, especially once learning platforms become more prevalent. And this also applies to the participants. If we choose to participate on platforms that are not explicitly driven to accelerate learning, we’ll learn at a slower rate than participants who choose to spend their time on learning platforms.
  • But, the fourth category of platform offers a second level of network effect, one that is uniquely associated with that platform.
  • If you only have one fax machine, it has negative value – you paid money for it and it does nothing.
  • The more fax machines that are connected, the more valuable each fax machine becomes.
  • What if each fax machine acquired more features and functions as it connected with more fax machines? What if its features multiplied at a faster rate as more fax machines joined the network? N
  • That’s the potential of learning platforms.
  • Those platforms that don’t help participants to learn faster and faster as they work together will tend to be marginalized over time, especially once learning platforms become more prevalent. And this also applies to the participants.

    Stephen Downes on what learners need and want in a networked world. Although he does go on in his usual way, this is a really interesting take on current educational models vs. what students want and need, and are beginning to access themselves.

  • Diversity is not just about accessing multicultural markets.  Companies must look more broadly to reinvent the way we think about how business is done.  How can diversity be pulled out of this commoditized mentality?  Diversity leadership must drive innovative perspectives.  Companies have not yet figured out how to unlock the potential within markets and processes that must be enabled globally.”
  • Diversity has allowed IBM to be innovative and successful for 100 years and to work across lines of differences in 172 countries, amongst 427,000 employees.
  • For example, are you paying attention to the Internet and how online communities continue to grow and represent different voices and points of view?

    Very good article by Glenn Llopis in Forbes, 6/13/2011, on importance of authenticity in diversity management. Not a numbers or compliance game but a real effort to get the most from everyone in an organization in order to serve/sell/reach out effectively to markets, communities, customers, and clients.

  • Will websites die in the next 10 years? No, websites are not at risk of being phased out, but of course they will evolve, function, and look different than they do today. Social media platforms and mobile will become even more prevalent (including ones that we don’t even know about yet) and nonprofit leaders must carve out time to understand these trends and act now to remain relevant with their base of supporters.
  • Make your website, signup forms, and donation forms mobile responsive.
  • Update Your Nonprofit’s Facebook page a few times a day.

  • Build up your nonprofit’s leadership influence online.
  • The president of your organization may have clout in offline and influential circles including the White House, but online is an entirely different ball game. As more news breaks online, often on Twitter, you want your leadership to be the go-to source for reporters. Guess what? Reporters look for experts on Twitter. If your leadership has no active social media presence, reporters who need facts and interviews ASAP will quickly overlook your senior leadership. I've seen this happen many times. 
  • Test new platforms.
  • If your nonprofit hasn’t tested Medium, try it. It’s a strong community of thought leaders who write and share different perspectives from the arts to climate change.
  • Another app worth testing is Periscope, acquired by Twitter.

  • advanced self-development along with varying perspectives about our society, culture, and many other fields of human knowledge. I launched this site back in 2015 and it is in my belief that we men need to spread more knowledge that matters in fostering healthy living. With the overwhelming information available all over the internet and the media, we men need to take a more active role in our learning and growth; and take a more active role as well in the complexities of the world we find ourselves in.
