Les trente ans du statut de la fonction publique territoriale

Accueil - Vie PubliqueL’étude de la fonction publique territoriale est particulièrement intéressante car elle contient nombre de contradictions présentes au sein de l'ensemble de la société : entre le national et le local le mandat électif et la propriété du grade le métier et la fonction. Plus...

Faire des choix ? Les fonctionnaires dans l'Europe des dictatures, 1933-1948

Accueil - Vie PubliqueVoici les actes du colloque organisé conjointement par le Conseil d'État et l'École des hautes études en sciences sociales en février 2013. C'est un triple défi intellectuel que ces rencontres eurent à relever. Aux difficultés inhérentes à toute histoire comparée s'ajoutent non seulement le flou entourant la définition du terme de fonctionnaire ou de fonction publique mais aussi la variété extrême des régimes composant l'Europe des dictatures : 1933-1948. Plus...

Exposer l'histoire contemporaine

Accueil - Vie PubliqueCet ouvrage présente les résultats de l’étude de réception de l’exposition Spoliés ! - L’« aryanisation » économique en France (1940-1944) demandée par le musée de la Résistance et de la Déportation de l’Isère - Maison des Droits de l’homme au titre du label « Exposition d’intérêt national » attribué par le ministère de la Culture et de la Communication en 2010. Cet ouvrage saisit tout à la fois dans leur sincérité ou leur ambiguité parfois tous les discours que provoqua cette exposition sur l’aryanisation c’est à dire l’expropriation totale des Juifs orchestrée par le régime de Vichy. L’originalité de la démarche tient au fait que les deux auteurs chercheurs en muséologie mettent en évidence la portée sociale du rôle d’une exposition d’histoire contemporaine sur des publics qui ne sont ni des experts ni des spécialistes mais des gens intéressés par la Seconde Guerre mondiale.

Evidence-Based Learning

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Evidence-Based Learning
I guess my main problem with the concept of evidence-based learning is that it equates the concept of 'evidence' with 'measurement'. For example: "Evidence-Based Learning (EBL) requires us also to measure our own performance." I think that the emphasis on measurement has distorted the idea of 'evidence' (and empiricism in general). For example: my friend walks in through the door. How do I know my friend is here? Not by looking for certain qualities, like his height or his eye colour. Not by measuring anything - but by recognizing my friend. That's the problem with NCLB (which is not sound as a core concept).

Testing An Experimental Universally Designed Learning Unit in a Graduate Level Online Teacher Education Course

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Testing An Experimental Universally Designed Learning Unit in a Graduate Level Online Teacher Education Course
I liked this paper partially because the survey size of 216 was substantially larger than most in our field (larger, for example, than the surveys of 24 and 38 in the same issue of JOLT) and partially because the authors were responsible enough to say "the sample size was too small to extrapolate too much from the results." Quite so. But they say, and I agree, that "having over 85% 'SJ' population within a sample of teachers" stands out. Now of course every time somebody mentions learning styles, someone else squawks that there is no evidential basis for learning styles. More...

The $300 Linux-Powered iPhone Killer Arrives

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. The $300 Linux-Powered iPhone Killer Arrives
They don't have a gazillion dollars to launch a mass media marketing campaign, so I'll note their launch here. "The first version of the NEO 1973 mobile phone, which carries the Linux kernel inside and is not locked to a specific network, is available for purchase... It's not as jaw-droppingly pretty as the iPhone, but it shares a design philosophy -- no buttons, just a screen -- and it's ready to be loaded with any number of open-source software applications".

MUD Creator Richard Bartle On the State of Virtual Worlds

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. MUD Creator Richard Bartle On the State of Virtual Worlds
I have always had - in the context of our online community - a unique perspective on things like Second Life because of my history working with Multi-User Dungeons (or Domains, MUDs). So I was especially pleased to encounter this excellent interview with the creator of the first MUD, Richard Bartle as he discusses, among other things, 3D virtual worlds like Second Life. More...

Underwhelmed by iTunes U

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Underwhelmed by iTunes U
Good point about iTunes U from Jim Groom as he criticizes the general impression being fostered that "'everyone' is doing it." He notes, "In Virginia it seems like UVa, William&Mary, VCU, Radford, Va Tech, and many more have jumped on the bus. Why are they doing it? It could be because they haven't been playing with more sophisticated, web-based options for media-casting, aggregating, and customizing their own space with free, open source applications that have easily accessible RSS feeds built in".

The Party Train

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. The Party Train

Monday night the entire conference population took a right up the lakeshore on this train, an event that reminded me of the FLNW train ride in New Zealand. I tell anyone who will listen that Moncton should have a train connecting the world's highest tides at the Rocks in the Bay of Fundy through Hillsborough to Moncton and thence to the beaches at Shediac. This train is an example of what I mean. Stephen Downes, Flickr July 11, 2007 [Link] [Tags: ]. More...
