As we move toward an era of openness, where information is instant and infinite, it is not enough to simply have the tools and skills to access information. We must make meaning, not only through analysis and critical thinking, but also by engaging directly with knowledge, by taking it apart, putting it together, by sharing it, and by creating it.

It is an amazing presentation. Changing people attitude toward the value of knowledge and make them more involved in creating it is coming.

This report by the Electronic Frontier Foundation shows how major technology companies protect, or not, user privacy.

A paper that gives an introduction or tutorial to the Free/Open Source Software. Relevant to our discussion for module 1 are part II and III. Part II gave a brief history for such a movement. Part III explained in brief four components of F/OSS: the license (yes even something open needs a license), the community, the development process and only lastly is the software itself

creo que en todos los paises deberia ya de haber tratados internacionales para evitar que gente utilice nuestros datos

Creo importante empezar por conocer un poco sobre el uso de Internet y penetración que tiene en algunos países para entender mejor algunos de los alcances y limitaciones del Open Access.

Comparto, la forma en que se percibe al Open Access, en diferentes áreas de conocimiento, y que considero, ya que no es un caso aislado para los que se han comprometido con la causa: "Access to this research is like a human right"

Un poco de historia sobre Acceso Abierto, y desde la perspectiva de Redalyc

This blog examines open data that is provided by the New York City government. It is written by a visiting assistant professor at Pratt College in Brooklyn NY. He uses the open data in his statistics and city planning course there. The interesting thing is that every open data set has a story to tell. Journalists are realizing this and are starting to analyze this open data to write stories, it is called data journalism. If you are interested data journalism, there is a course offered on the canvas network titled Doing Journalism with Data: First Steps, Skills and Tools (link provided) https://www.canvas.net/courses/doing-journalism-with-data The great thing about this in my opinion is that with open data the world starts to become more transparent. Everyone with some statistical knowledge can access these data, analyze them, and answer questions.

Since I'm Polish and I'm an Open Knowledge beginner, I was curious to know how is the concept approached in my language and this is what I found. Happy to share with other Polish-speakers.

La monetización de los datos personales

"... Los servicios gratuitos en línea, como Google o Facebook, se han convertido en el modelo de negocio de internet por antonomasia, aunque resulten no ser tan baratos como se venden: los datos personales generados por sus usuarios se configuran como su principal vía de ingreso" Dentro de unos cuantos años Google y Facebook (o tal vez ya) van saber más de nuestra vida que nosotros mismos. En México (si es que llega a pasar esto) no creo den una remuneración por los datos, simplemente los usarían sin preguntarle a la gente, y sin importar las consecuencias.

Should Open Knowledge be associated with old and irrelevant knowledge. Going through MIT Open Course, all I could see is knowledge as old as 10 years. Well some information may still be relevant but most of the information has evolved and there is new materials.For me, this makes Open Knowledge a joke if all , that can be offered is outdated knowledge

A great website of Free Online Course Materials. MIT OpenCourseWare is a web-based publication of virtually all MIT course content. OCW is open and available to the world and is a permanent MIT activity.
