"Antonio Fini, Andreas Formiconi, Alessandro Giorni, Nuccia Silvana Pirruccello, Elisa Spadavecchia, Emanuela Zibordi Abstract In Fall 2007 David Wiley, professor at Utah State University held a course about Open Education. That time, however, Dr Wiley's course was followed by a rather unusual group of students. The Fall 2007 edition, in fact, was available to anybody, free of charge, all over the world. The only requisite required was the possession of a blog for the completion of the weekly assignments. The present paper, whose authors attended the course completing it successfully, is an account of the experience they had. It can be considered an innovating experience from many different viewpoints and can be regarded as an example of how the world of the formal education can meet the demands of the informal one, in the broader landscape of professional training and lifelong learning.

"The Ultimate Section 508 Guide for Students In 1973, the United States government passed a sweeping piece of legislation known as the United States Workforce Rehabilitation Act. Intended to aid those with disabilities, this legislation provides funding for ...vocational rehabilitation, supported employment, independent living, and client assistance (and) authorizes a variety of training and service discretionary grants administered by the Rehabilitation Services Administration. As technology advanced, and both the workplace and society as a whole underwent significant changes, the need of those with disabilities also evolved. In order to foster equal access to the Internet and related technologies for all, the government added Section 508 to the Workforce Rehabilitation Act in 1998. What is Section 508? As amended by the Workforce Investment Act of 1998 (P.L. 105-220), Section 508 ...requires federal agencies to develop, procure, maintain and use electronic and information technology (EIT) that is accessible to people with disabilities - regardless of whether or not they work for the federal government. In short, federal law requires government agencies to create and use electronic devices, and content developed to be used with them (e.g., websites, media files, etc.), that people with disabilities can readily access.

Questa guida è scritta in lingua molto semplice e illustrata da video, mentre la sezione 508 dell'ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act, un po' come la legge Stanca in Italia) in legalese originale è più difficile da capire.

E' la famosa presentazione di Ken Robinson con i disegnetti. La cosa bella è che il flusso audio è in italiano. Da vedere e rivedere.

"The Windows in the Classroom Seminar is a series of videos that show real world examples of how software and devices can be used to enhance the learning experience. It is recommended that the entire seminar be viewed in one sitting. However, if you wish to complete Windows in the Classroom over multiple visits, you can close a video at any time. When you return, this seminar will pick up where you left off. At the end of this series you will be asked to take a short survey and awarded a Windows in the Classroom online learning badge. If you have chosen to make your profile public, you can proudly display this achievement for other Partners in Learning members to see."

Non si tratta di video disinteressati: sono un lungo spot commerciale sull'uso del Notebook di Windows "One Note". Con magnifici software, per carità... ma molto, molto proprietari. Microsoft, insomma. Quindi se siete dei patiti della ditta, potete sorbirvi i 45 minuti di spot con dimostrazione dei (raffinati, in verità) software, altrimenti lasciate perdere... Tanto più che per vedere i video suddetti, dovete lasciare un sacco di vostre informazioni e fare un questionario finale (sono proprio fissati con i badge, questi statunitensi!)

"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.    "
