«Hole in the Wall» interessante esperimento di quella che viene definita educazione minimamente invasiva. Esiste anche un libro "Il buco nel muro- come i bambini imparano usando liberamente il computer" dello stesso Mitra ed.Effatà.

Grande, e mi commuove, perché il Buco nel Muro indiano era fra i temi di discussione del primo corso online che ho seguito, nel 2003, "Development and the Internet" del Berkman Center for Internet and Society di Harvard - una specie di proto-MOOC i cui contenuti sono tuttora online: http://h2o.law.harvard.edu/ViewProject.do?projectID=64 . A quei tempi essere in oltre 200 partecipanti da tutto il mondo ci sembrava "massive"... e i muri erano muri veri, mica quello di facebook :D La discussione sul Buco nel Muro si trova in http://h2o.law.harvard.edu/viewThread.do?postId=3252#3322

Grande Claude, grazie per i link, sempre 1000 passi avanti! Ho letto recentemente il libro e mi ha colpito molto.

(*) Actually, this TED page has an English subtitle-generated transcript (as well as translated transcripts in the 47 other languages the video is subtitled in). And the transcript in http://amara.org/en/videos/h60BL6bU49WF/en/2426/ page where the English subtitles were made shows an average 90 wpm in the passages where Collins actually speaks. This remains rather slow indeed, however non natives may find it difficult to grasp the written texts that appear very briefly on-screen, and hence Collins' allusions to these texts. (CA)

"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. "

"BOLD 2003: Development and the Internet Module I Architecture Module II Entrepreneurship Module III LearningModule IV Policy Module V Conclusion"

"...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. ..."

"While about two thirds of respondents to a 2011 survey had not applied to any state, now about two thirds have applied to, at least, one state. * More institutions are deciding not to apply in some states. Those most cited: MN (22.4%), MA (19.5%), AR (18.0%), MD (14.6%), and AL (14.1%). This will have an impact on student choice. * Institutions are averaging about half of an FTE dedicated to authorization compliance. We believe that most did not have such staff in 2011."

Fantastica serie di 16 video YT su tutti i problemi che possono crearsi con la Flipped class. Considerate il primo titolo: "E se i miei studenti non guardano i video?" In inglese.

Interessante ... però questi filoneisti dovrebbero controllare se non stiano reinventando l'ombrello. Vedi http://cyber.law.harvard.edu/cyberone/wiki/Weeks_Pages . Questa pagina del wiki del corso Cyberone - Law in the Court of Public Opinion (autunno 2006) di Charles e Rebecca Nesson a Harvard elenca le sottopagine di approfondimento per ogni settimana del corso: ciascuna delle quali comprende una sezione di appunti sui video. CyberOne 2006 non era né un "MOOC" né una "flipped class" perché allora quei termini non c'erano (e il famigerato numero di TIME sul Web 2.0, con "The Person of the Year is... [pezzo di plastica riflettente] You" in copertina, è arrivato solo qualche mese dopo, a dicembre 2006). Era un corso con risorse online condivise e tre categorie di studenti: quelli che seguivano le lezioni ed esercitazioni in aula al Berkman Center, gli "Extension students" cioè iscritti alla formula "a distanza" del corso, e gli "At Large students", che potevano partecipare a una lista di discussione, ad attività in Second Life e anche a quel wiki (non ho idea di quanti At Large students fossimo, ma è stata una grande esperienza) Altra cosa: nel autunno 2006 non c'erano nemmeno strumenti online per una facile annotazione collaborativa dei video: Mojiti (poi rapidamente scomparso) è di dicembre 2006, DotSUB - web app di sottotitolazione, quindi dirottabile per prendere appunti anziché sottotitolare - del 2007. E Universal Subtitles (adesso Amara), ancora più comoda per questo tipo di dirottamento, è del 2010. Però oggi DotSUB e Amara ci sono. Allora non si dovrebbe parlare di annotazione collaborativa di video senza menzionarle, e soprattutto senza menzionare nemmeno la possibilità ancora più vecchia di adoperare un wiki per queste annotazioni collaborativa.
