"Showing "The World of Science", the map below portrays global research production as expressed through science journals' publishing in the early 2000s. It makes a dramatic point about the complexities of global inequalities in knowledge production and exchange. What would it take to redraw the knowledge production map to realise a vision of a more equitable and accurate world of knowledge?"

The research environment in the global South faces many pressing challenges given resource inequality. Technical and financial issues aside, Laura Czerniewicz asserts it is the values and practices shaped by the Northern research agenda which contribute just as much to the imbalance.

A very interesting response to the Wiley article from Module 2. The case for forcing a choice between a CMS and only open resources seems to be one that is set for failure as I don't think it is realistic to expect every college student to have the self-motivation to persevere through learning how to navigate the open web for learning without the scaffolding and structure provided by a CMS

Que nos crea una identidad, quienes somos y quienes queremos ser !!!

GenderCC - women for climate justice, is the global network of women and gender activists, and gender experts from all world regions working for gender and climate justice.

A visual look at the characteristics of connected learning.

Interesting lecture on privacy and digital identity. Do you want everybody in the plane to have your facebook account? Our personal information is the product the big companies are selling to their advertisers, so they are not so interested in helping us protect that information.

But is there a way to 100% protect our privacy because digital identity in the first place they aim to make us visible without us realizing that we are visible. So when we become visible how then can that be privacy. The story of emperors new clothes (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Emperor%27s_New_Clothes) clearly relates to the whole issue of privacy and digital identity.

Very interesting aspect of how to protect our personal identify by using selective attributes like age, gender when appropriate and needed by various websites.

Excellent technical guide to starting your own site to publish content you control, then syndicate that content to social networks.

If we consider our digital identity as important as physical identity, then we must be aware of ways how to protect ourselves from cyberbullying. It was supposed that bullying is mainly childrens' / teenagers' problem, but it concerns also adults. A good selection of tips how to protect ourselves in cyberworld.

Introducción al concepto de Identidad Digital. Basado en Castañeda, L. & Camacho, M. (2012) "Desvelando nuestra identidad digital". El profesional de la información, julioagosto, v. 21, n. 4 l, pp. 354-360. Disponible en abierto en http://eprints.rclis.org/17350/1/2012EPI.pdf

Tengo que reconocer, con rubor, que el tema de la identidad digital me empezó a preocupar este lunes cuando inició el módulo 2 de este curso, y que caigo por completo dentro de la categoría de quienes construimos nuestra identidad digital aun sin ser conscientes de ello. En eso coincido con los sujetos de la investigación. En lo que no tengo nada que ver es con el papel de lurker (aunque no soy un escribidor compulsivo, trato de usar las redes de manera constante, y a pesar del tiempo que demandan). Claro que por mi edad, y por varias otros aspectos, yo no experimento con mi identidad como lo hacen los jóvenes holandeses que menciona el artículo que compartiste. Aunque uno usa las redes para practicar distintos aspectos (los jóvenes holandeses del estudio lo hacen para explorar su identidad y practicar, con éxito, sus habilidades de sociales), yo tendré que pensar con cuidado para qué. Coincido en que he borrado cosas que puse (otra coincidencia con los sujetos estudiados). Y como ellos, debo reconocer otra vez contra mi voluntad, uno intenta poner cosas que lo hagan parecer inteligente (o no muy pazguato), y, si es posible, interesante. Mi inicio en el uso constante de las redes parece estar vinculado a un posgrado. La búsqueda e intercambio de información son la puerta de entrada de buena parte de la participación en redes sociales. Y al contrario de los entrevistados, hay gente en la red que ejerce mucha influencia sobre mí, y estoy muy agradecido de su aporte, inconsciente y desinteresado, a mis propio desarrollo. FInalmente, comparto la afirmación de las autoras: "Creemos firmemente que conocer la forma en que la identidad se crea y configura nos llevará a una mejor comprensión de la naturaleza de nuestros experiencias sociales y culturales y puede ayudarnos a mejorar de forma consciente nuestros procesos de aprendizaje y relación con el entorno." Muchas gracias por compartir el texto.

The right to privacy, as guaranteed in Article 12 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and many other provisions - including Article 17 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR), Article 16 of the Convention in the Rights of the Child, and Article 14 of the Convention on the Protection of Migrants - is a core tenet of democratic societies.

Un artículo muy interesante sobre la temática de las identidades virtuales y cómo aprovecharlas. Plantea el cuestionamiento de que no se trata de reproducir nuestra identidad cotidiana sino que se enfoca más a aspectos pragmáticos la construcción de una más dentro de nuestras múltiples identidades.

Knowledge seeking and sharing within organisations. Doesn't deal with progress of this in a wider context.

1. Talk things through Start a discussion on any topic, and bring in the right people. Share diverse perspectives and develop ideas together. 2. Build agreement Anyone can propose a course of action. People can agree, abstain, disagree, or block - so you can see how everyone feels, and why.

I really enjoyed this article - hoping you do too.

I think Ecuador might be leading the world in terms of participatory culture - see this page from my blog. Oh, Sao Paulo also adopted the participatory culture for the local council decision making so voters can vote per issue - very cool.
