"...In questo laboratorio propongo di utilizzare un'applicazione open source che si chiama RSSOwl: si può utilizzare liberamente, funziona su tutti i sistemi, è facile da usare. In alternativa chi vuole può cimentarsi con un servizio web, ad esempio BlogLines. Quest'ultima soluzione può essere buona anche per chi usa il tablet; ho provato con un iPad e mi sembra funzionare. ..."

"At my place of employment Diigo is blocked through our server under the social network category. I have administrator rights and can override the block for a set time period, eg 30 minutes. Diigo opens and I am able to surf from my bookmarks satisfactorily. However, there is no way I can add new bookmarks to my Diigo account, using a "Post To Diigo" bookmark in Internet Explorer, or the "Add+" button at the top of "My Items" in "my library" view. Somewhere, somehow our server is preventing this to happen. Needless to say I am disappointed. The work around is to email my new urls to my home address and then ad them to Diigo once I return home."

"Your payment to Ning was declined - First Notice : My point is it will always decline * Posted by Badan Barman on August 23, 2010 at 1:02am in Plans and Pricing * View Discussions Just one minute before, I received this message. Its frustrating. If not hundred, I request several time to Ning to come forward to make the payment successfully. I open help ticket, I post in forum, (CHARGE MY VISA CARD FOR THE IMMEDIATE PAYMENT, I Need Personal Assistant from Ning to Make the Payment Successfully) I personally wrote to Ning employee through email (Eric Suesz), i post as scrap. Still why you are charging my card after 23 hours of validity. You will absolutely get nothing after 23 hours from my card. Hey Ning can you please let me know exactly at what time of tomorrow you will again charge my card.So that I can enter the details of a fresh card just before you charge the card for payment?"

Fueling their enthusiasm is the explosion of massive open online courses, or MOOCs, the new species of free classes prestigious universities are offering to students around the world. As educators debate what the classes mean for the future of traditional universities, one thing is clear - they provide a vast laboratory to study learning, using a trail of electronic data to examine what resources or study habits best help students, whether they take courses online or in traditional classrooms.

"Welcome to the Weeks Pages for CyberOne: Law in the Court of Public Opinion. These pages will primarily be maintained by the Harvard Law School students enrolled in the course, but, as is customary with a Wiki, are available for anyone to edit. There will be (at least) one page for each week of the course. On these pages you can expect to find a presentation of all of the material from the particular week of the course including the video of the lecture (once it is available), notes from the class meeting, summaries and discussions of the readings, and more. We invite everyone to engage in open discussion of the week's materials on the discussion page for a given week. "

"What is artificial intelligence, and why do so many smart people warn about it? Does it pose an existential threat to humanity? Transcript ------------------- In 2015, an open letter was signed by Elon Musk, Stephen Hawking, Steve Wozniak and hundreds of artificial intelligence experts. It discussed the growing impact AI will have over our lives, and the importance of safety research in this field. In addition, Elon Musk called it "summoning the demon" and bill gates said he "doesn't understand why some people are not concerned". And yet others like Paul Alan expressed some skepticism. what is all the fuss about? (...)"

"Cos'è Google2SRT? Google2SRT è uno strumento in grado di scaricare i sottotitoli "non integrati" (Closed Captions - CC) dei video di YouTube/Google Video (se presenti) e convertirli in un formato standard (SubRip - SRT) supportato dalla maggior parte dei player. I sottitoli "non integrati" di YouTube/Google Video (i cosiddetti CC) anche oggi non possono essere scaricati in modo semplice. Anche scaricandoli, questi non saranno usabili in nessun player video (software o DivX domestico) poiché sono codificato in un formato proprietario di Google. Ecco perché Google2SRT permette di scaricarli e convertirli in un formato riconosciuto dalla maggior parte dei player video (SRT) e possono essere successivamente convertiti in altri formati conosciuti come SSA (SubStation Alpha) or SUB (MicroDVD) usando altro software disponibile su Internet. (...) A quali condizioni posso usare questo software? Google2SRT è un software gratuito ed open source, rilasciato sotto i termini della GNU General Public License (GPL). In breve: puoi scaricare, copiare, modificare, dare e vendere questo software come vuoi ed a chi vuoi, a patto che tu distribuisca il codice sorgente originale ed, in caso di modifica o riuso del codice stesso, anche il nuovo codice sorgente sotto le medesime condizioni."

Particolare vantaggio: consente di scaricare anche i sottotitoli automatici prodotti dal software di YouTube. Anche se fanno schifo, ciononostante a volte sono abbastanza poco schifosi da poter essere corretti per farne qualcosa di atto al consumo umano.

""A mook? What's a mook?" asks "Johnny Boy" Civello, the fast-talking gambling debtor in Martin Scorsese's 1973 film Mean Streets. For years, "mook" existed in English as an obscure slang term referring to "a foolish, insignificant, or contemptible person" (as Merriam-Webster's Online defines it). According to one Scorsese biographer, Vincent LoBrutto, the term first appeared in 1930 in the work of S.J. Perelman, the well-known writer and humorist. Since then it has occasionally resurfaced-in Mean Streets, for example; and again, around 2000, to classify an emerging class of poor, angry white kids who listen to rap metal. But that particular monosyllable was rarely at the tip of anyone's tongue. Until recently, that is, when college professors began broadcasting their courses to a worldwide audience. They called their courses "MOOCs," which stands for massive open online courses and is pronounced "mooks." Suddenly, that unfortunate syllable could be heard everywhere: in the news and the blogs, at tech conferences and faculty meetings, in legislative hearings and policy proposals. Now, it has been formally enshrined into the English language. Oxford University Press this week inducted "MOOC" into its Oxford Dictionaries Online. The definition: "A course of study made available over the Internet without charge to a very large number of people.""

The debate around Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) is much more focused on the social, institutional, technological and economical aspects than on the need for development of new pedagogical approaches that provide consistent guidance on how to design for this emergent educational scenario.

"Scheda del corso Paddi A                     Cos'è Il corso è suddiviso in cinque moduli orientati alla conoscenza del mondo digitale e, in particolar modo, delle risorse che questo ambiente offre alla scuola e alla formazione in genere. Ha lo scopo di aiutare le insegnanti e gli operatori della scuola ad integrare progressivamente le risorse del web e della tecnologia in genere nel loro percorso didattico. Una delle scelte progettuali di tale percorso sposa la filosofia FREE o Open source proponendo l'utilizzo di materiali, risorse e strumenti di libero utilizzo. Il discente potrà quindi fruire direttamente dei materiali e le risorse senza alcun costo aggiuntivo di licenza o acquisto.      Il corso propone una libreria di soluzioni e materiali che, per sua stessa natura, non può essere esaustiva, ma va utilizzata come spunto per la ricerca e l'aggiornamento periodico.    "

interessante! mi piacerebbe proporlo ad alcuni miei colleghi, ma non ho capito bene come ci si iscrive e quanto costa... Grazie!

"eTwinning Webinars are a new opportunity foreTwinners to become involved in Continuing Professional Development online. The webinars will combine live communication sessions with some offline activities in the Learning Lab. They will last for 5 days. Some are open to all teachers while some are restricted to registered eTwinners. All you need to participate in a webinar is a computer, a headset and maybe a microphone, although you can easily particpate without one."

"Most people who take massive open online courses already hold a degree from a traditional institution, according to a new paper from the University of Pennsylvania. The paper is based on a survey of 34,779 students worldwide who took 24 courses offered by Penn professors on the Coursera platform. The findings-among the first from outside researchers, rather than MOOC providers-reinforce the truism that most people who take MOOCs are already well educated. The Penn researchers sent the survey to students who had registered for a MOOC and viewed at least one video lecture. More than 80 percent of the respondents had a two- or four-year degree, and 44 percent had some graduate education."

Ma vedi anche il commento di Stephen Downes http://www.downes.ca/cgi-bin/page.cgi?post=61414 : "Goodness gracious, the word "MOOCs" does not mean the same thing as "courses offered by Penn professors on the Coursera platform." The Chronicle can be so infuriating at times. Coursera very deliberately targeted an upmarket customer profile, so no wonder that's who they got"
