eLearning Papers nº 33 [May 2013] "...This issue aims to shed light on the way MOOCs affect education institutions and learners. Which teaching and learning strategies can be used to improve the MOOC learning experience? How do MOOCs fit into today's pedagogical landscape; and could they provide a viable model for developing countries? We must also look closely at their potential impact on education structures. With the expansion of xMOOC platforms connected to different university networks-like Coursera, Udacity, edX, or the newly launched European Futurelearn-a central question is: what is their role in the education system and especially in higher education? This special issue of eLearning Papers brings together in-depth research and examples from the field to generate debate within this emerging research area."

Fase finale del progetto

Prova di segnalibro diigo con powernote su aggeggio android: fattibile ma scomodo. Era anche per provare quel che descrive Francesca in http://iamarf.org/2013/05/16/iniziamo-a-taggare-ltis13/#comment-17861 - ma per questo mi sa che ci vuole il diigo vero.

Alcune riflessioni personali sul percorso fatto fino a questo momento...

Opening Remarks WIPO DIP Com 18 June 2013 By: Maryanne Diamond on behalf of the WBU [World Blind Union] "...I urge you to play your part in making a difference in the lives of these millions of people, by agreeing a treaty that is simple, usable and meaningful. We cannot accept a treaty which has no substance, nor, can we accept a treaty full of bureaucratic and cumbersome requirements. We cannot accept a trophy treaty that will not work in practice. When considering your proposals, changes or amendments to the text, please stop and think about what that change will make on the ground to the people this treaty is about. You have received copies of our positions on the key issues in the current text of concern to us. * Commercial availability in articles D and E will ensure the treaty fails * The treaty must allow for distribution to individuals * The treaty must not allow TPMs to be a block to access to a book by blind people Please ask us if you're not sure what the impact of text you are considering will be on the ground. We are here for the entire conference. ..."

"Tratto da The Guardian, scritto da Cory Doctorow, tradotto da me [Massimo Spiga]. Questo è uno dei temi portanti di SCEGLI IL TUO VELENO, quindi vale la pena approfondire. Alcuni si chiedono come mai si faccia tanto chiasso riguardo alle rivelazioni su Prism ed altre forme di sorveglianza a strascico della NSA. William Hague, affermando che gli innocenti non hanno nulla da temere dalla diffusione involontaria delle loro informazioni personali, solleva degli interrogativi su quali siano i danni prodotti dallo spionaggio. Ecco alcuni motivi per cui dovresti preoccuparti della tua privacy, della divulgazione dei tuoi dati e della sorveglianza in generale. "

@Claude Almansi o chiunque abbia accesso alle modifiche. Tempo fa, nel postare la link sulla petizione pro Snowden, ho messo i tag cittadinanza, diritti, comunicazioni e web. Nessuno coincide con quelli di questo post sostanzialmente sullo stesso argomento...

By Matthew Hughes MakeUseOf.com April 5, 2013 "... Dire Consequences For An Administrative Error The one thing that stuck out for me when speaking to Amber was how catastrophic being removed from Facebook could be. Her suspension almost derailed a social media campaign for a large, multinational company. It resulted in her losing some of her oldest friends. It resulted in a loss of trust in an institution which almost all of us use to handle our social interactions. If an administrative error on a website can result in someone losing old friends and potentially losing their professional reputation, we should be questioning the role that Facebook has in our lives, and if we're too dependent on it. We reached out to Facebook and asked them to comment on this story. When asked how they identify breaches of their terms of service, they said "People report content or accounts to Facebook via the reporting links you can find on every page of Facebook. After you submit a report, Facebook will investigate the issue and determine whether or not the content should be removed based on Facebook's policies". They also said that their policies for dealing with people who breach their TOS depend on the particular rule broken. "If a content violates our policies then we will remove it. For example if a photo breaks our nudity guidelines we would remove it and let the person who posted it know. If someone is using Facebook under a false identity then we remove the profile." (...)

Ho esitato a dare il link nei commenti a http://iamarf.org/2013/04/11/non-solo-luci-ltis13/ . Poi ho deciso di no, perché i commenti già vertevano molto (troppo?) su Facebook.

"luciab Posted April 29, 2013 at 11:49 pm | Permalink @Andreas #70 (e Claude altrove) Comincio a sospettare che ci siano molte cose invisibili sotto il cielo, soprattutto sotto il cielo di WordPress. Avevo provato a fare l'embedding di un video in un post di WordPress, incollando il codice per l'embedding (gentilmente fornito dalla fonte), appunto, direttamente sul "lato" Text del mio post. Controllato sul lato "visual", non appariva nulla. Tornando al lato Text, trovavo il codice… letteralmente moltiplicato! Non si trattava solo di un "no follow", bensì di un sacco di scritte misteriose. Alcune sospetto volessero far apparire la "attribution", ovvero la citazione della fonte del video. Non ha funzionato. Mi chiedevo perché, ma ora comincio a capire che "WordPress" non è uno spazio "vuoto" neppure nel lato Text, o forse il codice che tentavo di importare si trascinava appresso un po' di alieni… Immagino che piano piano capirò la logica che sta dietro a tutto questo. Spero, almeno."

"matzlanz Posted April 30, 2013 at 2:03 am | Permalink Per la mia breve esperienza con Bloggercredo che, almeno nei post, accetti più tag rispetto a wordpress. Forse è una scelta di tutta l'infrastruttura blog di google. Per esempio in blogger funzionano gli iframe e il tag embed anche nei widget. Utili per inserire video da youtube e molto altro."

Microsoft's resolve to filling-in the web app productivity space dominated by Google is increasingly on the spotlight as the company demonstrated more collaborative Office features on more devices. The new update means bringing more real-time collaborations to Office web apps, which hitherto had been available only on the desktop Office software. - See more at: http://www.questechie.com/2013/06/microsoft-demonstrates-real-time-co.html#sthash.0oz8d2EU.PMi6P11B.dpuf

"By Kimberly Kindy, Published: June 22 Hundreds of negotiators from around the world have descended on Morocco this week to finalize a treaty aimed at ensuring that millions of blind and vision-impaired people can get books in accessible formats like audio, Braille and large print. But the treaty, years in the making, could be in jeopardy because of unresolved differences between advocates for the blind and the Motion Picture Association of America, which says the accord could undermine protections important for filmmakers, publishers and other major industries."

Lungo pezzo seriamente documentato sulla proposta di un trattato OMPI che faciliti la condivisione tra paesi diversi di libri in formati accessibili ai ciechi - e sul lobbying accanito della MPAA e di altri grossi produttori di contenuti contro questo trattato. La corrispondenza e-mail tra i lobbyisti della MPAA e il rappresentante US all'OMPI citata verso la fine dell'articolo può essere scaricata da http://keionline.org/node/1759 . La traduzione italiana automatica dell'articolo con http://translate.google.com/ ha le sue pecche tipiche, però rende abbastanza il senso generale.

"Die Stiftung für Konsumentenschutz (SKS) hat in der Arbeitsgruppe zum Urheberrecht (AGUR12), welche von Bundesrätin Simonetta Sommaruga einberufen wurde, aktiv teilgenommen und zusammen mit der FRC die Interessen der Konsumentinnen und Konsumenten vertreten. Das Grundanliegen der SKS, die Nutzer nicht zu kriminalisieren, konnte durchgesetzt werden. Die SKS befürwortet zudem den massiven Ausbau des legalen Angebots und die Information an die Konsumentinnen und Konsumenten, bevor weitere Schritte in Betracht gezogen werden. (...) Was nun mit dem Bericht der AGUR12 geschehen wird, steht in den Sternen. Die SKS wird die weitere Entwicklung mit Argusaugen beobachten, damit Konsumentinnen und Konsumenten in der Schweiz auch weiterhin von einem massvollen Urheberrechtsschutz profitieren können. Den Bericht der AGUR12 finden Sie hier."

"Corso di laurea magistrale in TEORIE E METODOLOGIE DELL'E-LEARNING E DELLA MEDIA EDUCATION SF1337, ordinamento 2010/11, A.A. 2013/14"

"Here's the lastest video educator's are jacked about: [ http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=UFpe3Up9T_g ] I like much about this video. I like the message. I like the way it's shot. I like the girls. What I don't like is the perception that this is the girl's invention. It's not. These girls are likely no more into inventing and making than most girls their age. While I might be able to look past that, and I can, I don't like the perception that this is authentic as it suggests. Which raises the larger question of authentic student voice. I remember first being struck by this when this video came out about 6 years ago: [ http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=_A-ZVCjfWf8 ] It's an iteration of Michael Wesch video using college aged students. When I saw the k-12 version it just didn't sit well with me. The signs the students held seemed to be the language and ideas of adults. I had a hard time thinking any 5 year old would use the phrase "engage me". But still I thought the video had value but I never used them to share with others. (...) If you're still jacked about the little girls video, that's okay, show it to your young girls, encourage them to explore science but let's have enough awareness to know when we're being sold something. My point with this little wander through video is let's advocate for student voice but not fake ones. Our students do have a voice. Most of them are childlike, full of child like ideas and most aren't as eloquent as adults because they aren't adults. That's what we're supposed to be doing, helping them develop that voice. Yet we do have some that are ready for prime time and we should provide ways for them to share. I know some districts have had students keynote. I think that's great, as long as the core of their story is their own, not the districts or their teachers. I'd way rather listen to a student share a less polished message that was their ow
