From June 2014, lecture at the Open Data Institute, UK. Professor Carr explains how the open web we know is just one of many attempts over the last century to build a planet-wide network of information. Why was this one successful? And will it continue to be so? Professor Leslie Carr is a Director of the Web Science Institute at the University of Southampton where he researches the impact of network technologies on our lives and economy, and in particular on the research and knowledge industries. Slides for this talk can be found here - http://www.scribd.com/doc/230569908/Friday-lunchtime-lecture-Open-data-open-web-Just-a-passing-fad-with-Professor-Leslie-Carr (recommended) From the slides, I thought this was interesting: "......The loss of ignorance, by all agreeing to share information The loss of privacy , by all agreeing to share a public space " also: "......The development of society as a whole (nuanced and structured and refined) is inextricably related to the technology of information provision, consumption and dissemination (e.g. writing, reading, printing, education). Different parts of society have different objectives and hence incompatible Web requirements, e.g. openness, security, transparency, privacy."

Here is a list of the core readings and additional resources for each module from the Open Knowledge Changing the Global Course of Learning MOOC--a partial textbook for the course.

thanks for sharing this

I have gathered a large list of on-going citizen science projects and related tools which, I am sure, will benefit everybody interested in getting involved with hands-on science. Some of the projects in my list were mentioned in Clarkes' video lecture - I realize that some people were looking for references to those.

The list is now here as well: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B3os4Z9kDO9UeFBMYTBPR0tqMW8/edit

Gracias por tu contribución. I liked it so much because of "Marine LitterWatch" because it is a really big problem in Mexico, it can be applied by government to clean the populated beaches, el Cañón del Sumidero or Sumidero Canyon, and to sensibilize people. Additional to that, the app can be used in big cities to decide where to colocate new tanks of rubbish.

"This report focuses on the open and sustainable Internet - what we mean by that, what benefits it brings, and how to overcome threats that prevent those of us already online from enjoying the full benefits, and what keeps non-users from going online in the first place." Available in English, Spanish, French.

This book presents the background and recent developmentos about the partnership between the European Union, Latin America and the Caribbean, important topic to understand the global comunication.

Buen aporte, esta muy completo. Gracias.

Knowledge, taken as a synonym for learning, and its properties in a matrix of types and qualities. Another resource I found while evaluating the John Willinsky video in module 5. You can find properties, if you look for them.

Written in 2010, this 5 page paper explains how Europe (UK and Germany specifically) has embraced open access and made it a priority to further its knowledge economy. This references the Budapest Open Access Initiative in 2002, and goes on to describe policies post 2006.

Thinking of creating a website? Google Sites is a free and easy way to create and share webpages.

Best way for creating site for progect, for self-publishing, etc. You my change the domane name. Site has simple design, but you can integrate all google tools on web-page: docs, images, videos and other. I like this service, because you get free and simple CRM and google analysis tool.

It´s been great fun recieving so many comments and I do feel that I am lerning new tools as you come with your recommendations for creating a Course Resource Library - a place where we can make a list of useful links, which should be categorised so that all of us can find the resources we need when we need them. I have created a Google Drive Spreadsheet to which everyone can contribute and use. Everyone with the link can view and edit. Lets make this library now and keep looking for more attractive ways to present it. Here it goes:

The book that I share with you is a treasure, is so extraordinary that in it we can find information about universities with high academic prestige just like Stanford University. It covers topics of great interest and dynamism like, augmented reality, game-based learning and global knowledge among others.

Online book self-published by Stacey Pitsillides in 2012 about digital death, a fascinating aspect of digital identity. Covers questions like "What happens when a virtual friend die?". See her website for more of her publications on the topic: http://www.digitaldeath.eu/texts/ License: Copyright:Attribution Non-commercial (I made a literature review on digital death in 2012 for my master in information science and this author really captures the social aspects of digital life in my opinion)

establishes the importance of teaching update

The concept of student peer review has gained increased attention in higher education in recent years, in line with the growing focus on peer and collaborative learning (Falchikov, 2005; Van den Berg et al.; 2006). Peer review is a form of peer assessment that has been used for over three decades in a wide range of disciplines from Architecture to Computer Science to Music, just to name a few.

"This book is about learning online with other people. It's title, Teaching Crowds, is deliberately ambiguous: the book is about how to teach crowds, but it is also about how crowds teach.

Where to publish is too important of a decision to put off until the end of the research process.
