By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Fujitsu and Sony think blockchain is the best way to store education records
Asha McLean, ZDNet, 2019/03/29
Storing education records on a blockchain makes them more accessible (and more permanent). It also opens up the concept of 'education records' to multiple education providers and issuers of credentials. More...
By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Facebook and Google: This is What an Effective Ad Archive API Looks Like
The Mozilla Blog, 2019/03/28
In a recent email, Creative Commons head Cable Green wrote "CC does plan to offer an API to CC Search" I think that's a good idea. I would use that; it would allow a content creation application like gRSShopper to use CC search to find resources to link to or embed. But what should such an API look like? One person suggested IMS's Resource Search, which linked to LTI. But IMS isn't exactly open; membership has its privileges. More...

Le développement des Fintechs est porteur d'opportunités prometteuses pour l'économie de la France et sa place financière. L'émergence d'un certain nombre de crypto-monnaies telles que le Bitcoin soulève toutefois des interrogations sur les risques éventuels suscités par ces monnaies pour le système financier, notamment du fait de leur forte volatilité.

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Google’s Stadia Streaming Platform is an All-Out Invasion of Gaming
Michael Crider, ReviewGeek, 2019/03/20
There will no doubt be a flurry of articles from the usual sources talking about how Google's Stadia service may be used in education. To be sure, there's something there - the idea of Stadia is that you can play a game in basically the same way you watch a YouTube video. The game is streaming, live, can be multiplayer, and interactive. So there will no doubt be educational applications - quests, simulations, collaborative co-creation, more. More...
By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Viewing American Class Divisions Through Facebook and MySpace
I suppose there is any number of ways you can distinguish between the privileged and the unprivileged classes in America, from selection of cars to smoking and eating habits to location of residence. Danah Boyd finds one such distinction in the choice of social network, between MySpace and Facebook. One was designed for college students, and restricted to them until just recently. Guess which one is the domain of the privileged. More...
Le rapport au Parlement sur les exportations d'armement de la France pour 2000 traite des politiques de contrôle et de soutien des exportations d'armement, de la mise en oeuvre de la politique française d'exportation d'armement (notamment les prises de commandes et les livraisons pour 2000).

La question des inégalités de carrière entre hommes et femmes est un sujet de réflexion majeur. On ne compte plus les rapports émanant des pouvoirs publics, d’associations ou d’entreprises elles-mêmes, et qui soulignent les écarts en termes de salaire, de promotion ou d’accès aux postes de direction. Le droit du travail évolue, avec notamment la création d’un index de l’égalité Femmes-Hommes, mesurant les efforts des organisations, sous peine de sanctions financières. More...

Let's be real. Wardrobe choices in graduate school can be tricky. Some of us dress more formally to teach. Others have felt the need to make more conservative fashion choices when teaching. When I taught math face-to-face, I wore a button-down shirt for at least the first day as an indicator that I was, in fact, the teacher. More...
