"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. "

"The (Free) Efficient Way to Manage Class Q&A How is this better than email, newsgroups, and discussion forums? Students actually use Piazza, they love it. This difference stems from how we built Piazza. We've personally met with and spoken to thousands of students and instructors. The result is a beautifully intuitive and simple product that students love and use."

Ultimo post sul blog un anno fa: http://blog.piazza.com/2012/07/23/7-management-secrets-of-the-postpartum-ceo/ . Può darsi che la fondatrice nonché CEO di Piazza abbia trovato il pupo bipede ancora più impegnativo di quanto pensasse... Scherzi a parte: sì, sembra interessante, in particolare per il supporto di LaTEX, ma colpisce il fatto che le università elencate sono tutte US. Chissà se accettano anche istituzioni straniere - e viceversa, nel caso dell'Italia, se le istituzioni educative dipendenti da MIUR sono autorizzate e crearvisi un account?

Registrarmi non mi andava (già mi arrivano tonnellate di mail!), ma di primo acchito, con la demo, mi pare si tratti di un forum simile a tanti altri: mi sbaglio?

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.

"And so it begins... Zombie-Based Learning! David Hunter You read that correctly: Zombie-Based Learning. When I started learning about it, my inner geek squealed with joy. I've always loved zombies. I've watched all the movies and even read the original Walking Dead Comics before it became a hit series in the classroom. One Teacher's Curriculum Geography has always been a learning target for social studies teachers, and David Hunter, who teaches at Bellevue, Washington's Big Picture School, decided to create a curriculum using Kickstarter as its funding source. He sought to make geography relevant through engaging scenarios and stories with a zombie theme tying it all together. The whole curriculum is standards-based and includes over 70 lessons where students must "consider how to duck the undead invasion, secure their supplies and, eventually, rebuild society" through a variety of activities, worksheets and discussions.

"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?"

"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? (...)"

Attorney General Eric Holder Speaks at the E-books Press Conference Washington, D.C. ~ Wednesday, April 11, 2012 "Earlier today, we filed a lawsuit in U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, against Apple and five different book publishers - Hachette, HarperCollins, Macmillan, Penguin and Simon & Schuster. In response to our allegations, three of these publishers - Hachette, HarperCollins and Simon & Schuster - agreed to a proposed settlement. If approved by the court, this settlement would resolve the Department's antitrust concerns with these companies, and would require them to grant retailers - such as Amazon and Barnes & Noble - the freedom to reduce the prices of their e-book titles. The settlement also requires the companies to terminate their anticompetitive most-favored-nation agreements with Apple and other e-books retailers. In addition, the companies will be prohibited for two years from placing constraints on retailers' ability to offer discounts to consumers. They will also be prohibited from conspiring or sharing competitively sensitive information with their competitors for five years. And each is required to implement a strong antitrust compliance program. These steps are appropriate - and essential in ensuring a competitive marketplace. Beginning in the summer of 2009, we allege that executives at the highest levels of the companies included in today's lawsuit - concerned that e-book sellers had reduced prices - worked together to eliminate competition among stores selling e-books, ultimately increasing prices for consumers. As a result of this alleged conspiracy, we believe that consumers paid millions of dollars more for some of the most popular titles. During regular, near-quarterly meetings, we allege that publishing company executives discussed confidential business and competitive matters - including Amazon's e-book retailing practices - as part of a conspiracy

"Videogames are one of the fastest trending topics in media, education, and technology. Research across fields as disparate as science, literacy, history, visual processing, curriculum, and computer science suggests that videogames aren't just fun - they can actually be good for your mind as well. In this course, we will discuss current research on the kinds of thinking and learning that goes into videogames and gaming culture. We'll investigate the intellectual side of digital gameplay, covering topics that range from perception and attention in Left 4 Dead 2 to the development of historical understanding in Civilization to collaborative learning in massively multiplayer online games like World of Warcraft. Throughout the course, we examine the inherent tensions between contemporary youth culture and traditional education and new developments in games for learning that promise to help bridge that growing divide."

By Zack Whittaker for Zero Day | August 19, 2015 "...Everyone has a right to privacy. It doesn't just keep our information safe, but it helps us be the people we want to be. Without privacy, we're always being watched. Without privacy, we can't have private discussions or experiences that shape our views, opinions, and thoughts that better society. Without privacy, we can't express ourselves as who we want to be. Privacy either exists, or it doesn't. Today it's cheating spouses, tomorrow it could be you."

"...Subtitles and transcripts Every talk on TED.com will now have English subtitles, which can be toggled on or off by the user. The number of additional languages varies from talk to talk, based on the number of volunteers who elected to translate it. Along with subtitles, every talk on TED.com now features a time-coded, interactive transcript, which allows users to select any phrase and have the video play from that point. The transcripts are fully indexable by search engines, exposing previously inaccessible content within the talks themselves. For example, searching on Google for "green roof" will ultimately help you find the moment in architect William McDonough's talk when he discusses Ford's River Rouge plant, and also the moment in Majora Carter's talk when she speaks of her green roof project in the South Bronx. Transcripts will index in all available languages. The interplay between the video, subtitles and transcript create what we call a Rosetta Stone effect. You can watch, for example, an English talk, with Korean subtitles and an Urdu transcript. Click on an Urdu phrase in the transcript, and the speaker will say it to you in English, with Korean subtitles running right-to-left below. It's captivating. ...."
