OKMOOC

An interesting piece thinking about indigenous learning in a modern context.

Great tie in with the RIck Hill video in Module 1. Indigenous learning teaches us about the connectedness that stands in contrast to this MOOC even as we seek it in different forms through this sort of sharing and commenting and "liking."

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)

A great resource on curating ideas created by Corinne Wiesgerber, a professor at St. Edwards University, for her communications class. Includes a slide-share with helpful definition of curation. You can follow Corinne on Twitter: @corinnew.

Thanks for sharing this! I particularly like the emphasis on using social search in addition to a standard google search. Thoughtful curation is a critical part of effect learning networks.

How the Internet has evolved to effect our society in terms of collaboration, government, participation, intellectual property, content, and information as a whole

Open Access book - Opening Science: the evolving guide on how the internet is changing research, collaboration and scholarly publishing / edited by Sonke Bartling and Sascha Friesike. 2014

"An interactive network aiming to gather observations on whether, and under which conditions, open approaches to research and collaboration could lead to various development outcomes in the Global South." Also highlights open development, goal is to construct "....a conceptual framework and a 'Theory of Change' on how open science norms and practices could be further established in developing countries via a community-based and networked-driven approach, while building on key lessons learned from the funded case studies, and from other ongoing open initiatives"

All credit to theSkimm, definitely caught my attention and leaves me wanting to learn/understand further... WHAT TO SAY WHEN THE NEXT EPISODE OF "HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER" WON'T LOAD… Barney blocked. Today, Netflix and a bunch of other big-name websites like Etsy, Kickstarter, and WordPress are protesting to support net neutrality. The sites will be showing a picture of the 'spinning wheel of death' loading symbol - not to make sure you're still breathing, but as a friendly reminder that this could be the future. Refresher: net neutrality is the idea that all content on the Internet should be treated equally, and preference shouldn't be given to sites willing to pay for faster connections. That's not what happens now. There's currently no regulation over how Internet providers treat traffic from different websites. The FCC's been listening to comments on some new rules for monitoring pay-to-play. They're going to stop listening to everyone's opinions next week.

At the Open Education Working Group we are interested in all aspects of open education, from Open Education Resources (OERs) and new learning and teaching practices, to open source tools and open licenses. One fairly new area that is starting to show real traction in opening up education is open education data.

Breve entrevista a un miembro del Instituto de Investigación en Inteligencia Artificial.

I think Ecuador might be leading the world in terms of participatory culture - see this page from my blog. Oh, Sao Paulo also adopted the participatory culture for the local council decision making so voters can vote per issue - very cool.

I really enjoyed this article - hoping you do too.

Creo que los conocimientos que vienen de los pueblos indígenas son los más preciados ya que son lo que han ido pasando de generación en generación. Pero lamentablemente la sociedad no lo ve así y estos conocimientos están en "peligro de extinción 2 .

Es relevante que todos los usuarios tengamos conocimientos de la importancia acerca de la seguridad y privacidad de los datos es de suma importancia.

Los retos a los que se enfrenta la humanidad en los próximos años son complejos y difíciles. El cambio climático, la bioconservación, el envejecimiento de la población, encontrar nuevas formas de energía, eliminación de la pobreza y las desigualdades sociales, son algunos de los más acuciantes.

A great article clarifying the definitions of indigenous knowledge and traditional knowledge

A new, developing application in the area of open educational resources.

Thanks to Google Maps Mania I learned about another new tool for creating mapped stories. Heganoo is a tool that allows you to build multimedia placemarks on a map. Your completed map can be displayed in a variety of formats including a slide-by-slide format that allows viewers to see placemark information as slides while viewing the map in the background.

TED talks is a fantastic place for inspiration.

I use TED talks both personally and professionally. This play list is a bit of both. I especially enjoy Andrew Stantons "The clues to a great story".

The OAD is a wiki and depends on the OA community to keep it comprehensive and up to date. It's a great place for many references to open access resources, events, organisations, publishing software etc
