Privacy technology everyone can use would make us all more secure - 0 views

The issue of digital identity seems to be causing a lot of waves on the online community. people are really indeed concerned about their privacy and its management. Internet privacy tools have an unfortunate but well-deserved reputation for being technically difficult and bothersome. There's a persistent story that says that there is an intrinsic, irreducible complexity to the problem of keeping your communications from being snooped on and keeping your data from leaking that makes it the exclusive domain of spies and the professionally paranoid.
Radical Librarianship: how ninja librarians are ensuring patrons' electronic privacy - 4 views
-
Researching online often means leaving a trail of information about yourself, including your location, what websites you visited and for how long, with whom you chatted or emailed, and what you downloaded and printed. All of these details are all easy to associate with a particular computer user when insufficient privacy protections are in place.

Thanks for sharing this article. The right to electronic privacy is most important to me. It's frightening how 'big brother' can trace everything we do. I intend following up on the links and asking our local professional association to run a workshop on this. -
Librarians in Massachusetts are working to give their patrons a chance to opt-out of pervasive surveillance. Partnering with the ACLU of Massachusetts, area librarians have been teaching and taking workshops on how freedom of speech and the right to privacy are compromised by the surveillance of online and digital communications -- and what new privacy-protecting services they can offer patrons to shield them from unwanted spying of their library activity.

Resumen: Medios tradicionales, redes sociales, reporteros, nuevos medios, blogue- ros, periodismo ciudadano, prensa en papel, contenido generado por el usuario, medios ciudadanos... Todo está cambiando en la era digital: la industria musical, la cinematográfica, la manera de informar e informarnos y, cómo no, los medios de comunicación. Conocer y saber qué está cambiando en este nuevo ecosistema mediático es imprescindible para innovar y afrontar esos retos con ciertas garantías. En este libro nos adentramos en el periodismo ciudadano, en la participación de los usuarios como generadores de información, convertidos ahora en creadores de sus propios medios(ciudadanos). La antigua audiencia pasiva ahora es activa: los usuarios se pueden informar unos a otros, tanto a nivel global como en los ámbitos más locales, haciendo un uso intensivo de las herramientas tecnológicas que tienen a su alcance, a través del gran canal de distribución que es Internet. Esta es una de las razones por las que los ciudadanos, implicados en tareas informativas (periodistas ciudadanos), se han convertido en el quinto poder, en los vigilantes del cuarto poder

Mark Thorley (Conventry University): Participatory music culture: the challenges for identity, creativity and recognition The advent of recording technology served to break down the link between musician and audience (Eisenberg 2005), and the music participant became the music consumer.

Phoning It In: My Year of Teaching Via Skype - 2 views
-
This piece is related to the idea of open knowledge in that it deals with one professor's year-long experiment with synchronous teaching over a Skype connection. While the professor felt that it worked better and more seamlessly than anyone could have imagined, he remains unsure as to whether telepedagogy has a place in our traditional academic settings. While a bit different in scope, idea and execution than a mooc, it is another example of new ways in which traditional learning is giving way to 21st technology. Video conferencing is now an every day part of most businesses, and here is an entire semester's class being "phoned in" via Skype. As the article points out, its usefulness in a traditional setting is up in the air. Yet there would seem to be an obvious utility in bringing this give and take classroom setting to remote locations that might have internet access but not easy access to schools or specific professors. Yet another way to make knowledge or the access to knowledge more open.

Great post .. Well I think it may take time for people to adapt into the digital situations.. And in developing counties situation is even worst than that.. not only with skype , online at all would not work because people think and so use to the didactic pedagogy. All the things are centered with in the teachers presence..
Bruce Willis versus Apple: do we own what we download? - Telegraph Blogs - 1 views

This is an interesting article that scotches the surface of what happens when digital rights meet physical deceives. Who owns the songs on our iPhones? What about eBooks? Can these be passed down? An interesting discussion follows in the comments - and even though Bruce Willis' name has been erroneously attached, the subject is still worth examining.
