I´m interested in sharing in this article given the impotance that they have taken social networks; social networks in Internet and expansion can not leave out the risks that these may contein by the lack of real awareness by users of uses that can be made with your personal data, as these may be used illegally, profiles can publish false information or unauthorized or assigned full and unlimited rights all contenst.

Un artículo interesante a partir del cual surgen diferentes preguntas ¿cómo afectará a las universidades la oferta de MOOCs? ¿qué implica para profesores y estudiantes? ¿cómo se asegura que no exista pérdida de la diversidad en la enseñanza? ¿cómo nosotros como estudiantes ahora tenemos la responsabilidad de diseñar nuestra curricula? Me parece interesante como el hecho de crear MOOCs llevo a rediscutir y rediseñar los curso en la propia aula. Gregory Nagy, a professor of classical Greek literature at Harvard, is a gentle academic of the sort who, asked about the future, will begin speaking of Homer and the battles of the distant past. At seventy, he has owlish eyes, a flared Hungarian nose, and a tendency to gesture broadly with the flat palms of his hands.

Most countries are in the process of reaching agreement among multiple participants - apart from the governments themselves - establishing a high level management structure for the implementation of national policies.Major advances have been made in the development of national frameworks for security policies, measures for combating cybercrime have been approved, and response teams for security issues have been established.

Literacy is the human right, but there are still 781 million illiterate people in the world. Every single day is good to spread the word about literacy, and help organizations like UNESCO or Worldreader to bring educational opportunities to people in developing countries. One day, however, is special.

An in depth documentary in to parts, that unveils the development that lead up to the Snowden leak.

I found this documentary very interesting even though I'm not an American. Especially the second part is very disturbing.

A collaborative glossary of key terms about Free, Libre and Open resources.

Interesting glossary of terms in Free, Libre and Open. Picked up via post on the Open Knowledge Foundation discussion e-mail list.

He elegido este video porque explica la influencia de las redes sociales en el mundo real, menciona lo impresionante que es interactuar con personas de distintas partes del mundo.

Recurro a la conocidísima viñeta de Peter Steiner publicada en The New Yorker en 1993 para ilustrar una buena entrada de Mike Masnick en Techdirt sobre el uso del anonimato y los pseudónimos en redes sociales, "What's in a name: the importance of pseudonymity & the dangers of requiring 'real names'".

A curated list of Open Educational Resources for teachers and students interested in accessing quality educational materials made freely available. I would draw your attention to #11 Gooru.

The stated aim is to personalize learning with freely accessible, high-quality, curated resources.

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."

A look at how fitness tracking might be expanded to wider use/tracking in the workplace. Here theoretical and positive, but could be sinister. I thought this was interesting, especially after reading the 2011 article "Why Privacy Matters" https://chronicle.com/article/Why-Privacy-Matters-Even-if/127461/ shared in our OKMOOC group.

What digital footprint are you building? It is good practice to review the importance of maintaining a positive digital presence with your students whenever there is an online component to a class. It is important that this "born digital" generation understands the serious, future consequences of what they post through online media. I chose this resource because it is important for teachers to show students how their digital footprint can be exposed on line and to be aware of what they are posting and how. These short videos are very informative and easy for busy teachers to learn from and share with students.

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"

This article by the Boston Consulting Group (BCG) is made up of 5 parts: Part 1: digital identity: a driver of growth, a consumer hazard or both Part 2: a definition of digital identity and how consumers really see it Part 3: the value of digital identity - for organizations and consumers Part 4: the megatrends of digital identity Part 5: a practitioner's guide to the future of digital identity but most striking part for me was at the beginning: when the article mentioned: data explosion is possible because of four reasons: social media boom; the internet of things; online data transactions; and digital service and media and the direction towards the economic value of the digital identity

Here's the correct link: http://www.libertyglobal.com/PDF/public-policy/The-Value-of-Our-Digital-Identity.pdf There's a "-" between public and policy :)

This article highlights why it is so important to share what we know with others, so that "our learning curve never becomes flat".

A local group of the open knowledge foundation 1. Push for Open Science and Research practices in Indian research institutions. . 2. More involvement of citizens in the spirit of Open Knowledge Involvement of the masses in order to work towards making ourselves a better managed nation. Constitutional instruments like the Public Interest Litigation (PIL), the Right To Information (RTI), etc., lose their relevance without complete transparency in the dissemination of government as well as non-government data. Building a mass-based system of knowledge-banks can help us a lot in achieving our goal. We can assist the governments for making more information public, wherever necessary. 3. Push for education. Involving the masses can to a great extent result in a quicker transformation of the present scene (for example, we can have citizens making study material open and free and also involve them more in the dispersion of education). We aim to arrange for vocational profession-based education for the adult population.
