    Vernacular resistance to data collection and analysis: A political theory of obfuscation Computer-enabled data collection, aggregation, and mining dramatically change the nature of contemporary surveillance. Refusal is not a practical option, as data collection is an inherent condition of many essential societal transactions.

    MIT Research Paper - The pre- and posttesting showed substantial learning: The students had a normalized gain slightly higher than typical values for a traditional course, but significantly lower than typical values for courses using interactive engagement pedagogy. Importantly, both the normalized gain and the IRT analysis of pre- and posttests showed that learning was the same for different cohorts selected on various criteria: level of education, preparation in math and physics, and overall ability in the course. We found a small positive correlation between relative improvement and prior educational attainment. Interactive engagement pedagogy is where students regularly interact in small groups and participate in peer-to-peer learning.

    Es el derecho que posee el autor sobre sus creaciones sean estas obras literarias, musicales, teatrales, artísticas, científicas o audiovisuales. Este derecho nace con el acto de creación y no por el registro de la obra, sin embargo es importante registrarlas para reforzar los derechos morales y patrimoniales del creador frente a la voracidad capitalista y el plagio.

    While we are at the discussion on copyrights, intellectual property and economics of open, I think the consideration of human factor in the pursuit of knowledge evens out the playing field. This is the link to the executive summary of The Global Innovation Index 2014, a report that takes into account the human factor in innovation.

    Un artículo muy interesante en relación al debate de la calidad de la información proporcionada por profesionales y amateurs desde el enfoque del sector profesional. Interesante para sostener un debate desde ambos enfoques.

    Los periodistas ciudadanos cumplen algunas funciones de los periodistas profesionales como buscar, recabar y compartir noticias, pero les falta la profesionalización, en muchos casos mejorar su redacción, corroborar las notas que comparten y publican. Los medios como blogger, facebook y twitter están plagados de noticias falsas, sin fuentes de investigación. Los periodistas ciudadanos no tienen la ayuda de un editor que revise sus publicaciones, corrija su redacción, opine y ordene las notas. Sin embargo, están haciendo uso de su libertad de expresión. Si alguien no esta de acuerdo con alguna acción, por ejemplo, una ley que discrimina a las personas por su codición económica, escribirá su opinión en un foro opinando sobre dicha ley, en otros casos escribirá una nota en su blog personal y compartiendola a través de sus redes sociales. Aunque esto también puede traer problemas, no existe el derecho de réplica,una corroboración de los hechos como lo puede haber en una investigación periodística profesional.

    A new UN database collecting documents on education in countries around the world. The information is limited to official, legalistic reports from the UN and from the countries. I found the lower parts of the country profiles very useful in giving an overview of a country's constitutional framework for education, which could offer an interesting angle for analyzing your own country and comparing it to others. This could be used as a great tool for understanding the overarching design of an education system, an important step for anyone looking to improve it.

    Michael Eisen is a researcher at UC Berkley and a co-founder of Public Library of Science. He discusses the news that the American Association for the Advancement of Science named Kent Anderson as its new Publisher, who is a critic of the open access movement. The most interesting thing for me was the mention in his blog post as well as in the comments section by another, that it is perhaps a trend for scholarly publications to produce open access journals. A peculiar motive, to perhaps "own" the open movement? It would be interesting to learn more about this trend, motivations behind it, and the implications on how that affects the OA movement.

    And then a quick Google search found an announcement that Nature will be fully open access as of 20 October 2014... but still costs $5,200 USD to cover the article processing charges - perhaps Universities should (will) start to pay these costs instead of the high costs of subscriptions to scholarly journals as they continue to open up their access. http://www.nature.com/ncomms/open_access/index.html

    Wow--these article publishing charges are ridiculous. I don't know if the scholars whose work gets published in these esteemed journals have budgets that would allow them to cover such fees, but I am sure that I wouldn't be able to get multiple articles covered by grants for my own work in the social sciences. And I'm 99% sure that the public universities I've worked for would not be ponying up that kind of money to cover my publication fees. This seems like yet another way to penalize scholars working in fields that don't get big grants or living in countries that don't have this kind of money to throw around. I prefer the UK's policy of requiring all nationally funded research to be published open access without any publication fees. That's the only way to even the playing field.

    "Emergency and conflict in countries such as Syria, the Philippines, Sri Lanka and Afghanistan have made us more aware of the long-term serial disruption and psychosocial damage faced by people caught up in emergency and conflict areas. Open, distance and flexible learning (ODFL) has sometimes been employed in these regions to maintain a degree of continuity in education. For the most part, however, this role has been ad hoc, short-term and often bearing limited relation to the psychosocial and educational needs of the displaced or traumatised populations it serves."
