"Published on Nov 28, 2014 For someone who has no idea how to caption a video this might be a bit confusing. I'm not sure. (Ask otherwise). But I thought I'll upload it anyway. (What I could have explained in the video is that numer 5-7 are how to make captions that are IN youtube, which aren't permanently on the screen. And you press a button in the bottom right corner of the video to turn them on. But I kind of assumed that everyone knew that when making the video. However having shown this to my confused little brother I realize that's not always the case). (OR just watch Paul Talks video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_H57r... ) 1. Handheld written captions. 2. Scanned written text. 3. Text added when editing. 4. "Upload a file" 5. Write a script. 6. Write new captions as you're watching the video. 7. Automatic Captions.

"Fair Use, MOOCs, and the Digital Millennium Copyright Act: Frequently Asked Questions In October 2015 the Librarian of Congress issued new rules permitting certain teachers of Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) to break encryption on DVDs, Blu-Ray discs and streaming videos to create short clips for use in their teaching. It's a major step forward for MOOC teachers and their students. This document, prepared by Professors Peter Decherney and Brandon Butler, answers some of the most common questions you might have about the new rule."

(Per il contesto, vedi http://infojustice.org/archives/35654 e http://ipclinic.org/2016/01/22/fair-use-moocs-and-the-digital-millennium-copyright-act-frequently-asked-questions/) Parti problematiche: Coursera and Udacity are for profit companies. Can they take advantage of the exemption? Coursera and Udacity are the platforms. Colleges, universities, museums, and other nonprofit organizations offer courses through these platforms. The organization that creates the course must be an accredited nonprofit educational institution, but the provider of the software platform may be for-profit . So a university course offered through Coursera may take advantage of the exemption. How can the material be restricted to students enrolled in the course? We believe that use of passwords provided only to enrolled students will sufficiently limit access to the course content to students or learners. How can redistribution be prevented? Offering streaming rather than downloadable versions of the course content should reasonably limit unauthorized redistribution of the work. Unfortunately, this unfairly disadvantages learners with slower internet access" Cioè l'autorizzazione a far saltare i blocchi anticopia vale soltant per i MOOC che non sono MOOC perché non sono Open ma protetti da password. E l'argomento secondo il quale il fair use vale per i video di corsi Coursera e Udacity, a patto che gli enti che elargiscono il corso non siano a scopo di lucro, anche se le piattaforme lo sono, è dubbio. in effetti Coursera e Udacity traggono profitto dai materiali proposti da questi enti. Quanto all'offerta dei video in solo streaming per impedirne lo scaricamento: almeno nei corsi Coursera dove il link di scaricamento è stato t

Published on Jun 2, 2012 on YouTube Since Tony Blair's New Labour government came to power in 1997, the UK civil liberties landscape has changed dramatically. ASBOs were introduced by Section 1 of the Crime and Disorder Act 1998 and first used in 1999. The right to remain silent is no longer universal. Our right to privacy, free from interception of communications has been severely curtailed. The ability to travel without surveillance (or those details of our journeys being retained) has disappeared. Indeed, as Henry Porter (the Observer journalist famous for his recent email clash with Tony Blair over the paring down of civil liberties) reveals in this unsettling film, our movements are being watched, and recorded, more than ever before. (narrato da Henry Porter, realizzato da Neil Ferguson, trasmesso originalmente nel 2006)

Political gatherings have been banned in two Pakistani provinces and many activists arrested to prevent them joining a planned protest march. Opposition supporters and lawyers had organised what they are calling a "long march" against the government due to start later this week. Activists, lawyers and ordinary citizens have reacted to the latest developments with a mixture of defiance and fear.

"Luisella May 27, 2013 at 2:28 pm @tutti coloro che sono interessati a tradurre dall'inglese all'italiano e sottotitolare un tutorial di Diigo, che ne dite di questo? [ http://youtu.be/nkrHFM3s8Bc -e mbeddato] Mi sembra un tutorial interessante perché parla in particolare degli Account per insegnanti. Luisella May 27, 2013 at 2:40 pm Anche, questo, che è più generico, non specifico per la scuola, è comunque molto chiaro e interessante: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kcecBgRd3ig&eurl=http://blog.diigo.com/ Claude Almansi May 27, 2013 at 5:58 pm Grazie, Luisella, Con il primo - An introduction to Diigo for educators - ho un problema: online, mi si ferma sempre primo della fine, dove parla dell'account educator. L'ho dovuto scaricare per vederlo per intero, quindi ho un po' paura che crei problemi in Amara (l'app di sottotitolazione), dove andrebbe streamata la versione online. È meglio che le cose filino lisce per "principianti". Il secondo - "Social Bookmarking: Making the Web Work for You - è fatto molto bene, però è di 5 anni fa, e ci sono state nuove versioni dell'interfaccia di Diigo nel frattempo. Ciononostante, mi sembra ancora valida su quasi tutto, e basterebbe aggiungere qualcosa sulla data nella pagina Amara. Per ora l'ho soltanto creata: http://www.amara.org/en/videos/EfplCifDOjln/info/social-bookmarking-making-the-web-work-for-you/ . Il modo + semplice di produrre ST italiani è di prima far quelli inglesi, poi di tradurli. Ma vedi tu come preferisci. Se ti può servire, http://piratepad.net/linf12-ST è il pad che avevamo utilizzato per sottotitolare dei video durante linf12 Ciao Claude"

clicco sul link di- @tutti coloro che sono interessati a tradurre dall'inglese all'italiano e sottotitolare un tutorial di Diigo, che ne dite di questo? [ http://youtu.be/nkrHFM3s8Bc -e mbeddato] - ma il video clipdi youtube che ottengo non ha audio, è un mio problema?

Ciao Fabrizio Io l'audio lo ottengo per http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nkrHFM3s8Bc , però come avevo scritto nei commenti citati, il video mi si ferma prima della fine. Cioè probabilmente c'è un problema tecnico, e per questo avevo suggerito di non utilizzarlo per una sottotitolazione collaborativa online.

"Our mission is to promote and provide equal access to communication and learning through described and captioned educational media. The ultimate goal of the DCMP is for accessible media to be an integral tool in the teaching and learning process for all stakeholders in the educational community, including students, educators and other school personnel, parents, service providers, businesses, and agencies. The DCMP supports the U.S. Department of Education Strategic Plan for 2014-2018 by committing to the following goals: Ensuring that students (early learning through grade 12) who are blind, visually impaired, deaf, hard of hearing, or deaf-blind have the opportunity to achieve the standards of academic excellence. Advocating for equal access to educational media as well as the establishment and maintenance of quality standards for captioning and description by service providers. Providing a collection of free-loan described and captioned educational media. Furnishing information and research about accessible media.

La mia recenzione di questo "helpout sugli helpout": "Ronnie was very patient and gave very clear answers. As to whether people from other countries than Australia, Canada, Ireland, New Zealand, U.K., and the U.S. (see https://support.google.com/helpouts/answer/3164468?hl=en&ref_topic=14126 ) would be allowed to offer helpouts in future, he said this is planned. As to the difference between helpouts and hangouts, he explained that though helpouts are using the hangout platform, they are a different service. And when asked if helpout participants can use the live captioning app that can be used in hangouts (see https://hangout-captions.appspot.com/ ), he said no. When I asked why the "Introducing Helpouts by Google" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K-VFC9AQM1k video is uncaptioned, and the video embedded in the "Find out what it's like to get a Helpout!" https://helpouts.google.com/111421743141645456280/ls/b41c1faef6b76d0f page is not only uncaptioned, but also uncaptionable via e.g. streaming it to amara.org, because if you try to open it on youtube, you get to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=picasacid , which says: "An error occurred during validation. This video does not exist. Sorry about that." he candidly said he couldn't answer and suggested using the feedback, which I'm doing. Same reply when I asked if Google planned to caption these videos. Sure, I would have preferred to get more hopeful answers to the questions about accessibility, but it was great to get candid ones, which can now be reported to the discussion lists of the Collaborative for Communication Access via Captioning - http://ccacaptioning.org/ . " No, è vero, Ronnie è stato bravissimo. Chissà quanti helpout si sarà sorbito quel giorno, e paffete arriva una che comincia a rompergli le scatole e il nuovo giocatolo Google, portandolo a riconoscere implicitamente che insomma, meglio gli hangout veri e propri..

Hi, I would like to discuss with everyone what is going on in this course. "I know that I know nothing" "Learn, unlearn and relearn" ("The illiterate of the 21st century will not be those who cannot read and write, but those who cannot learn, unlearn, and relearn. " ― Alvin Toffler) "Idea - project - data" This whole summary comes after YEARS of unconscious planning of a big research plan. And months of planning of this course and an associated research proposal.

"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."

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."

This experience is all about connection. Sure, we have some topics and themes to explore, and we'll have plenty of things to make and do, but really Teach the Web is about connecting with other people who are passionate about spreading digital and web literacies. It is the interaction with the people around you that will make this a successful learning experience. Teach the Web is meant to be a social collaboration, rather than a solo deep dive into content
