The rise of the e-citizen: How people use government agencies' Web sites. - 5 views

  •  
    This is a great follow-up reading to the core reading for module5 from J. Willinksky (2006). I thought it was timely now though written 12 years ago, due to the surge in citizen video journalism and ease of access to government websites now for public policy information, voting and campaigning.

¿Está muerto el libro? Is the book dead? - 3 views

  •  
    A complex question; a simple answer
  •  
    An interesting use of the medium to poke fun at the medium. Thanks for sharing - I also tweeted this link out. How meta, but also what an important reminder that the book is still a central part to knowledge sharing.

Cómo transformar la experiencia en conocimiento abierto - 0 views

  •  
    El conocimiento abierto no es tan solo acerca de estadísticas y datos, también tiene que ver con el saber cotidiano no escrito y nuestra experiencia. El " saber hacer" es uno de los activos más valiosos y sin embargo es intangible y muy difícil de transmitir.

Reality Hunger - 0 views

  •  
    A fascinating and meta conversation about the notion of reality, truthiness, and attribution. David Shields remixes works from hundreds of other authors (without attribution) to interrogate these topics and more. From Wikipedia: Reality Hunger consists of 618 numbered passages divided into twenty-six chapters. Approximately half of the book's words come from sources other than the author. Because of Random House lawyers, attribution for the quotes is given in a fine print appendix at the end of the book, but with Shields's encouragement to cut those pages from the book so as to preserve the book's intended disorienting effect

BIODIVERSITY AND INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS IMPLICATIONS FOR INDIGENOUS PEOPLE OF SOU... - 1 views

  •  
    Traditional Healers Organization For Africa: " Biopiracy and Indigenous Traditional Medicine Knowledge The blatant plunder of indigenous knowledge and genetic resources in South Africa continues unhindered and without State monitoring. Since 1997, We have been monitoring private and public enterprises (or their intermediaries) who are actively collecting, sampling and acquiring traditional knowledge for the development of pharmaceutical products. What concerns us is that international organizations are entering South Africa to carry out this research. Not even the World Health Organization are free of scrutiny in this regard. "Biopiracy" refers to the use of intellectual property laws (patents, plant breeders' rights) to gain exclusive monopoly control over genetic resources that are based on the knowledge and innovation of indigenous peoples. Biopiracy and bioprospecting don't just happen in the field ; biopiracy is even more likely to take place in the laboratories of industry and academia, and in patent offices in the cities not even in South Africa."

Food Patents-Stealing Indigenous Knowledge? - 1 views

  •  
    This part of the globalissues.org web site looks at the issue of intellectual property rights on food ingredients and traditional, common knowledge. Food patents based on knowledge that has been around for centuries is controversial, risking threats to food security due to concentrated ownership of this otherwise common knowledge.

Integrating Lifelong Learning Perspectives - 3 views

  •  
    From the UNESCO Institute for Education, published in 2002. Quote "As humanity invented writing 5000 years ago, the culture of shared knowledge reached a new dimension; its horizon went on expanding until it became planetary through Internet." That is just something I needed while evaluating the John Willinsky video in module 5, hoping to find an answer to his question why do we want access to knowledge.

    PicMonkey is my favorite too. I've tried different on-line image-editors, but I think PicMoneky is most intuitive to use. Sometimes I use http://ipiccy.com/ to edit colors when a picture needs a touch-up.

DPLA: Digital Public Library of America - 0 views

  •  
    While attending another work-related webinar, I heard about this web site and thought about this class. On the surface, this site looks like a portal to many, many other image and video repositories about the history and geography of the United States. Many are contributed by local public libraries, museums, archives, and historical societies. What caught my attention and connect to this course is that all the metadata of the repositories are open access, so that developers can take advantages of the metadata and create additional apps. In this sense, this site becomes a platform. The contents from the various repositories have different degrees of rights and restrictions for reuse, some are under CC, some are protected by copyright, but the metadata is all open!
