"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. "

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)

Introduction
Below are groups of TED Talks, curated from http://www.ted.com and organized roughly by level and topic. You should do a full group (divided across several sessions if desired) and see if the integration makes them easier to understand (especially the later ones). Be sure to interact with them--don't just watch all of them straight through. However, you can do all or parts of some more intensively than others. Use your best judgment, and return to previous class notes as needed. Note that you are provided with the following information about the talk:
1. length
2. the overall speed in words-per-minute (WPM)
3. the vocabulary profile by percent of words at set frequency levels of the British National Corpus (3K, 5K, 10K, and more than 20K (off-list=OL))

Grazie, Fabrizio,
Ho taggato con "EFS_Stanford" - tra altri tag - questo webquest e i video ivi elencati dopo un webinar con Phil Hubbard organizzato via hangout da Vance Stevens domenica scorsa (8 ottobre). Nel webinar Hubbard ha insistito sul fatto che la forma di webquest direttivo era meglio delle forme di collaborazione sociali come tagging e condivisione, perché gli consentiva, da esperto, di dare informazioni coerenti. Allora taggare queste sue risorse TED su Diigo è anche un modo di esprimere il mio dissenso ;-)
In effetti a proposito di http://www.ted.com/talks/gel_gotta_share.html , elencato in questo webquest, dice di non poter indicare le parole per minuto "perché non c'è trascrizione". Invece c'è, se si va alla pagina YT originale del video embeddato. Ora se invece di un webquest statico avesse condiviso questa risorsa con i suoi studenti in un gruppo come questo, c'è da scommettere che almeno uno di loro avrebbe rimediato all'errore in un commento - come d'altronde ho fatto in https://groups.diigo.com/group/ltis13/content/tag/EFS_Stanford%20GelConference ...

"Copy your data
From spreadsheets, to tables in web pages, databases-anywhere you can visualize a table with location data you can paste it into BatchGeo. If you are starting from scratch, we recommend using our Spreadsheet Template to get started with your data, then simply copy the data over to BatchGeo to create a pin map.
Validate & set options
We make our best guess at your intended columns like the address, city, state, zip code, or latitude / longitude. You may want to set the options yourself if you don't like the default behavior.
Map locations
We geocode your postcodes / addresses and make your map. It may take a few minutes depending on how many addresses you have, if you already had latitude and longitude in your data it will map instantly. After you are done mapping the addresses you can save to a web page using the "Continue & Save" option."
Brief.ly is a simple way to share a "bundle" of links at the same time. Enter up to 30 links and captions you want to share (one per line or click the wrench for more options). Brief.ly will generate a unique URL. When opened, a Table of Contents page lists the sites included. When you open the bundle, each site appears and tabs appear along the top of the page that allow you to easily jump from one recommended site to the next. This site is very easy to use and helpful for all ages, as long as they can read. With your membership, you can edit the contents of your list later, without resending it or changing the single link.

Learn how to make maps that tell great stories. Welcome to the official Facebook page for the MOOC on Mapping taught by Dr. Anthony Robinson from Penn State on Coursera. Follow the class on Twitter: www.twitter.com/MapRevolution"
"Overview -
This course is offered by University of Zurich with Prof Paul-Olivier Dehaye and his students. This lesson plan is created by Dilrukshi Gamage (www.sdgamage.weebly.com) a MOOC student from this class due to few reasons.
1. Course started with giving some ideas, but now it appears no more ideas facilitated
2. Forums are closed and we have no clue of what to do
3. Students who take this course or any of coursera for the first time will be wondering and might lose the context of learning.
4. This lesson plan will guide us to collaboratively find solution to be in synchronized and learn from the time we invest in this.
Introduction -
The course named Teaching goes massive : new skills needed. It is our responsibility to find out what are the skills we need when we are teaching to a massive class.. or any class. Prof.Paul mentioned some experiments which we can do and previous forums already started and gone very well until suddenly closed everything.
So let us drive this MOOC , learn to learn ourselves how to be organized and learn from each other. Anyone can suggest things but not like as forums it has to be much more effective. This document will contain how to participate and what can you do in contributing to expand your learning. Don't worry this will not stop suddenly as we the students are in charge.
First step lets set some objectives so we can see did we achieve when we finish this course.
Objectives -
After you complete this course
1. You will learn how to learn yourselves to work without a real teacher or a lecturer.
2. You will learn to make communications and build a network where you can share and learn throughout your interest.
3. You will learn to work on inclusive projects in the same course ( by inclusive what I mean was anyone can work in one project or more)
4. You will gain knowledge on what skills you need and how to handle it when teaching is massive

"Below you will find 50+ web tools you can use to create your own web-based story. They are grouped into categories of tool types, but you can also access a complete list of all tools. Each link points to a full entry on the tool that includes a description, links and embedded versions of the original Dominoe story, links to other stories created in the tool, and some more feedback that can help you decided if the tool might be of interest. People who join this wiki can contribute to the content on these pages (learn more...).
Again, your mission is not to review or try every single one (that would be madness, I know), but pick one that sounds interesting and see if you can produce something.
But before rummaging around the toolbox, have you done your prep work? Do you have your story idea or presentation concept outlined, developed? This should be on paper or in a document file or scribbled on the back of a napkin, but do not rely on making it up as you go! If not, go back 2 spaces and do this now. Next- do you have your media assets available, your images, video clips, audio files-- if not go find your media now."

"The purpose of this document is two-fold:
- to offer an online history of the development of the Massive Open Online Course (MOOC)
- to use that history to describe major elements of a MOOC
Each chapter of this guide looks at one of the first MOOCs and some early influences. It contains these parts:
- a description of the MOOC, what it did, and what was learned
- a description of the element of MOOC theory learned in the offering of the course
- practical tools that can be used to develop that aspect of a MOOC
- practical tips on how to be successful
Contribute to this Book
You are invited to contribute. If you participated in a MOOC, add a paragraph describing your experience (you can sign your name to it, so we know it's a personal story). If you know of resources or can add information about an element of MOOC theory, add to or edit the text that already exists. If you know of tools, provide a link to the tool, a short description, and your assessment of the tool.
If you have a tip, add the tip.

Description FeedShow OPMLBuilder lets you create an OPML file from a list of RSS url or from the links included in any web page.
Some web sites offer RSS feeds, but don't provide OPML files (see Yahoo News). OPMLBuilder will let you build a clean OPML file that you can easily import in your favorite RSS reader.
Questo è dovuto a una cretinata di blogger: quando crei una prima pagina tua, il parametro automatico della sezione "Pagine" del dashboard è impostato su "Mostrare pagine come: non mostrare". Lo puoi cambiare a "link laterali" o - con certi template - "schede in alto" - ricorda di cliccare "Salva disposizione" quando avrai scelto.
("con certi template": perché con quello del mio blog di bozze http://rincorrerefarfalle.blogspot.ch/ , se provo a impostare "schede in alto", quando faccio "Salva disposizione", il parametro torna a "link laterali").
Però hai un motivo particolare per mettere questo bilancio in una pagina piuttosto che in un post? I post vengono aggiunti al feed RSS del blog, quindi gli altri partecipanti a #ltis13 li possono scoprire tramite il loro lettore di feed (RSSOwl, Bloglines...), mentre le pagine, essendo statiche, non lo sono.

Dire Consequences For An Administrative Error
The one thing that stuck out for me when speaking to Amber was how catastrophic being removed from Facebook could be.
Her suspension almost derailed a social media campaign for a large, multinational company. It resulted in her losing some of her oldest friends. It resulted in a loss of trust in an institution which almost all of us use to handle our social interactions.
If an administrative error on a website can result in someone losing old friends and potentially losing their professional reputation, we should be questioning the role that Facebook has in our lives, and if we're too dependent on it.
We reached out to Facebook and asked them to comment on this story. When asked how they identify breaches of their terms of service, they said
"People report content or accounts to Facebook via the reporting links you can find on every page of Facebook. After you submit a report, Facebook will investigate the issue and determine whether or not the content should be removed based on Facebook's policies".
They also said that their policies for dealing with people who breach their TOS depend on the particular rule broken.
"If a content violates our policies then we will remove it. For example if a photo breaks our nudity guidelines we would remove it and let the person who posted it know. If someone is using Facebook under a false identity then we remove the profile."

You may have noticed recently that lots of websites now contain little graphical buttons with the word XML on them. For example: XML button When you click on the button, all you see is a bunch of jumbled text and computer code. What's this all about? It's an RSS feed, and they're changing the way people access the Internet.
RSS, or Really Simple Syndication, is a technical format that allows online publishers to share and distribute their content to other websites or individual Internet users. It's commonly used for distributing headlines on news websites. Bloggers use it to distribute summaries of their blog entries as well. RSS is written in the Internet coding language known as XML, which is why you see RSS buttons labeled that way.
If a website publishes an RSS page, commonly known as an RSS "feed," this feed will contain summaries of all the recent articles posted on that site. For example, Yahoo News publishes news related to world headlines, national news, sports, etc. These you can all read by going to the Yahoo website. But they also publish RSS feeds for each of these subjects. Each RSS feed contains a summary of the most recent news stories posted. Similarly, the Digital Divide Network publishes RSS feeds for our news headlines, events listings and other content on our website. I even have my own RSS feed for articles that I publish on my personal blog, Andy Carvin's Waste of Bandwidth.
But why do RSS feeds look like a jumbled mess when I click on them with most Web browsers? It's because RSS feeds are meant to be read by machines rather than people. Software and websites can understand the data contained in RSS feeds and make it available to people on personalized websites, through software known as news aggregators, even through email. So when you aggregate RSS feeds, you're having a computer collect content from many different websites and organize them in a convenient pla
