"...Our vision is to encourage the growth of a more open set of intellectual communities than those spawned by the traditional university system. In particular, we focus on the ideal of introducing inventive methods of interaction to allow these communities to form in new ways. Rather than segregating users based on which university they happen to attend (or indeed, whether they happen to attend a university at all) or even the large subject areas encompassed by university classes, the system allows users to interact with one another in focused ways based on the specific ideas they are addressing at the time: users can gather around the specific details of a recently passed piece of legislation or the implications of a particular article, rather than around larger subject blocks. H2O encourages users to share the content they create through these interactions by making archives of previous materials easily available and browsable and by enabling the sharing of content among different intellectual communities. ..."

"March 19, 2013, 1:00 pm By Prof. Hacker [This is a guest post by Lisa Rhody, who works for the Roy Rosenzweig Center for History and New Media at George Mason University as the project manager for WebWise 2013....] From early posts about scholarly uses of social media to more recent entries on its usefulness for improving student engagement, there seems to be a general consensus among ProfHacker writers that the use of social media promotes the widening of scholarly networks. Keeping in mind that online social networks extend beyond the obvious Twitter and Facebook-blogs, podcasts, wikis, and photo/video sharing sites are a few other forms of social media-the vexing question to answer has been how to quantify the scope or significance of one's participation in social media to a wider scholarly conversation."

"March 20, 2013, 4:55 am By Steve Kolowich The State University of New York's Board of Trustees on Tuesday endorsed an ambitious vision for how SUNY might use prior-learning assessment, competency-based programs, and massive open online courses to help students finish their degrees in less time, for less money. The plan calls for "new and expanded online programs" that "include options for time-shortened degree completion." In particular, the board proposed a huge expansion the prior-learning assessment programs offered by SUNY's Empire State College. The system will also push its top faculty members to build MOOCs designed so that certain students who do well in the courses might be eligible for SUNY credit. Ultimately, the system wants to add 100,000 enrollments within three years, according to a news release."

"Peer 2 Peer University (we mostly just say P2PU) is a grassroots open education project that organizes learning outside of institutional walls and gives learners recognition for their achievements. P2PU creates a model for lifelong learning alongside traditional formal higher education. Leveraging the internet and educational materials openly available online, P2PU enables high-quality low-cost education opportunities. Learning for the people, by the people. About almost anything. Our values Three things guide everything we do: openness, community and peer learning. P2PU is open Being open enables more people to participate and innovate, and makes us accountable. Our community is open so that everyone can participate. Our content is open so that everyone can use it. Our model & technology are open so others can experiment with it and we can all improve it together. Our processes are open so that we remain accountable to our purpose and community. P2PU is a community P2PU is community-centered and our governance model reflects that. P2PU is built driven by volunteers, who are involved in all aspects of the project. As members of this community, we speak and act with civility. We show tolerance and respect for other opinions, people, and perspectives. We strive for quality as a process - driven by community-review, feedback and revision. P2PU is peer learning P2PU is teaching and learning by peers for peers. Everyone has something to contribute and everyone has something to learn. We are all teachers & learners. We take responsibility for our own and each others' learning. "

"Creative Learning @medialabcourse"

Tutti i video sono automaticamente sincronizzati con http://www.amara.org e quindi ciascuna reca il link alla pagina Amara.org dove possono essere sottotitolati in più lingue. Sembra che UN UMANO per ora faccia i sottotitoli inglesi originali. A differenza di Coursera dove avevano un team Amara incasinatissimo dove sbattevano sottotitoli automatici originali zeppi dei tipici errori del riconoscimento vocale, poi si stupivano che la gente mollasse le traduzioni a metà.

"The Year of the MOOC (...) MOOCs have been around for a few years as collaborative techie learning events, but this is the year everyone wants in. Elite universities are partnering with Coursera at a furious pace. It now offers courses from 33 of the biggest names in postsecondary education, including Princeton, Brown, Columbia and Duke. In September, Google unleashed a MOOC-building online tool, and Stanford unveiled Class2Go with two courses. "

"Published on March 18th, 2013 | by Guest Author [Kate Lee] Infographics are becoming an increasingly popular method of communicating information quickly and clearly. Great designs can reduce the complexity of information, making a process, product or service easily understandable and accessible to the general public. And a good infographic means that all of that information is presented in a way that is aesthetically pleasing to boot. But have infographics become too good at streamlining information? Have they become the fast food of graphic design - quickly digestible, but lacking in substance? Infographics: Guilty As Charged The web has lots of criticisms levelled at infographics and it's true that many are poorly created, failing to fulfil their purpose, using Papyrus or other crimes against design. The main complaints when it comes to infographics are: 1. Creates confusion: the data is presented in a manner that takes a long time to interpret, is difficult to follow and creates additional complexity instead of providing clarity. 2. Inaccurate information: [...] 3. Too long: [...] 4. General ugliness: [...] The problem with infographics is that so many people think it's easy to create them, when in fact it's a particular subset of skills in an already specialised profession.[...] Data Visualisation Requires Thinking That being said, there are truly great infographics out there that tick all the boxes: accurate information, presented in an effective visual manner that helps the audience interpret and understand quickly. And so we come to the point of this post: with complex information rendered so comprehensible, without the need to read long reports and with the ability to look at pictures and share it with all your friends - is there a danger that infographics cause the audience to stop thinking? In short, the answer is no. In most cases where the audience needs to think, the data isn't simple anyway. The mission of infographics is to re

Titolo volutamente provocativo. Ottima presentazione delle "infographics", di cosa dovrebbero e potrebbero essere ma purtroppo spesso non sono, e degli risvolti cognitivi del loro uso.

Vedi, in merito ai commenti sulla scomparsa di Google Reader al post http://iamarf.org/2013/04/06/come-seguire-le-fonti-in-internet-ltis13/ : "Modifica e interruzione della fornitura dei Servizi Ci adoperiamo costantemente per modificare e migliorare i nostri Servizi.

"Andreas Inviato aprile 6, 2013 alle 9:37 am | Permalink @Monica Viali #93 No Monica, c'è una prevalenza di insegnanti ma molte persone interessate ai temi della formazione a vario titolo. Ci sono anche persone che fanno lavori diversi, per esempio persone che lavorano nell'amministrazione di qualche organizzazione, manager ecc. Se ti è utile? È libero, provalo, quando ti stanchi smetti. Ma amici: dove viene questa ossessione contemporanea di sapere *prima* se una nuova iniziativa mi sarà *utile*? Non è che stiamo un po' perdendo il gusto della vita? PiratePad o Word? Dipende, come sempre… Qui provali… Vuoi proprio una risposta perché l'ansia monta? Usa (per ora) word per il diario e gioca un po' con PiratePad, gioca… E poi l'inizio del diario si può anche scrivere a mano, se non vi fa fatica trascrivere dopo nel blog. @Marina #100 Se aprite un documento in PiratePad, prendete nota (copia-incollate) il suo indirizzo URL, è con questo che poi lo ritroverete *là fuori* Potete anche crearlo "imponendo" un URL che vi piace, tipo http://pirate.pad/ e poi aggiungendo quello che volete, pippo, ilmiopad, ilpadpiuganzodelmondo ecc."

Come ritrovare un pad fatto su PiratePad. Vedi anche il commento #191 tutto su PiratePad http://iamarf.org/2013/04/05/una-domanda-un-compito-e-unesplorazione-ltis13/#comment-13465: "Non va assolutamente bene per tenerci documenti, non c'è nessuna garanzia di persistenza, anche se fino ad ora non ho mai perso niente, quando mi è capitato di usarlo. Ma sarebbe sciocco pretenderlo. Quando si usa va sempre esportato il contenuto - ma questo è vero anche con tutto il cloud."

Ho cominciato ad aggiungere a Diigo i commenti al post http://iamarf.org/2013/04/03/ltis13-il-luogo-e-i-suoi-abitanti/ usando i loro permalink taggandoli #ltis_commento , e mettendo anche altri tag che, combinati booleianamente, dovrebbero consentire di creare diversi percorsi tematici nelle info dei commenti. Volendo, potrei anche aggiungere tutti quei segnalibri "#ltis13_commento" al gruppo ltis13 stesso, per ora con 4 clic. Il vantaggio sarebbe che si potrebbe creare un gruppetto di taggatori volontari per condividere il lavoro: anche se la possibilità di riutilizzare gli ultimi tag, di includere il contenuto evidenziato e di "bookmark this link" senza doverlo aprire facilita molto il lavoro, i commenti sono tanti :D Però per lo stesso motivo, questo rischierebbe di sovraffollare il gruppo. Creare un sottogruppo "ltis13_commenti" di cui si aggiungerebbe il link in questo gruppo "ltis13" ?
