Student challenges prof, wins right to post source code he wrote for course - Boing Boing - 0 views

  •  
    Kyle's a student at San Jose State University who was threatened with a failing grade for posting the code he wrote for the course -- he wanted to make it available in the spirit of academic knowledge-sharing, and as code for potential future employers to review -- and when he refused, his prof flew into a fury and promised that in future, he would make a prohibition on posting your work (even after the course was finished) a condition of taking his course.

A White Boy's Observations of Sexism and the Adria Richards Fiasco | Good Math, Bad Math - 1 views

  •  
    Excellent post on the blindness of the majority to discrimination on their part - often unintended but still existing because of their position of power.  It's something that we need to be conscious of since we all come from a position of being white, middle class, and majority male. It's not what we do in the office (but still needs to be applied there!) but how we think about the people we support and also how they might design for their classes.

Donald Clark Plan B: MOOCs: more action in 1 year than last 1000 years - 0 views

  •  
    Clark sets the cat among the pigeons with this post arguing that Moocs are the best thing since sliced bread. He's always prepared to mix it up and there are some astute observaions in here. What is missing is what the landscape will look like in 1 or 2 years.

  •  
    Post by Chuck Severance on why he feels CC-BY has failed. Some good comments too. This is an area that still needs to be worked out but whether that's by new licenses or by 'letting go' I'm not sure.
