OPCO 2i - CPF de transition professionnelle - Report du congé

Si le salarié remplit les conditions d’ancienneté requises (ou s’il est dispensé de remplir ces conditions), vous ne pouvez pas refuser le congé. Vous pouvez cependant reporter la demande dans les conditions suivantes :
  • Dans la limite de 9 mois si vous estimez que l’absence du salarié peut avoir des conséquences préjudiciables à la production et à la marche de l’entreprise (vous devez solliciter l’avis des représentants du personnel sur ce report),
  • Si d’autres salariés sont déjà absents au titre de ce congé :
    • établissements – 100 ETP : report possible si un salarié est déjà en CPF de transition professionnelle,
    • autres établissements : report possible si le pourcentage de salariés simultanément absents dépasse 2 % de l’effectif total. Plus...

Major Research Review on Learning Transfer

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Major Research Review on Learning Transfer
Will Thalheimer, Work-Learning Research, 2020/01/10
Will Thalheimer presents this report (22 page PDF) on 'learning transfer', which he says "occurs when people learn concepts and/or skills and later utilize those concepts/skills in work situations." What we know about transfer is based on what he states upfront is weak evidence. "I will roughly estimate as well over 80%... do not actually measure transfer," he says. He writes that "far transfer hardly ever happens. Near transfer—transfer to contexts similar to those practiced during training or other learning efforts—can happen." But there are exceptions. "A person’s long-term development is likely to benefit from having a range of learning experiences.. Similarly, people generate more creative insights when they have been prompted to look beyond the usual." This, though, speaks to distinct objectives of training - transfer versus creativity.

Applied AI ethics: report 2019

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Applied AI ethics: report 2019
Berry De Bruijn, National Research Council Canada, 2020/01/10
I've spent the better part of the morning working through this report (38 page PDF) on ethics on AI from many of my colleagues here at NRC. It summarizes work from workshops in Ottawa and London (UK). It's taking me this long because I'm constantly following up links - for example, to the UK House of Lords report on Ethics in AI (which has be reading many of the submissions, such as the one from EFF), and the European Commission's Ethics Guidelines for Trustworthy AI.

The Spirit of Open

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. The Spirit of Open
David Wiley, iterating toward openness, 2020/01/10
David Wiley offers what appears at first to be a point of contact between his and my philosophy of open: "I am more interested in insuring that other people are able to do whatever they want or need to do with my content than I am concerned about making sure  they can only do what I want them to do with it." Yes, for me it has always been about enabling other people. The difference is that Wiley sees this as a relation between himself and the person reusing the content, while I see this as a relation between myself and all potential users of the content. I cannot give (say) one person the right to commercialize my content without harming everyone else who would use my content. More...

Technology Can't Fix Algorithmic Injustice

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Technology Can't Fix Algorithmic Injustice
Annette Zimmerman, Elena Di Rosa, Hochan Kim, Boston Review, 2020/01/10
This article in Boston Review argues that democratic deliberation should take place before artificial intelligence (AI) systems are implemented in society. "A democratic critique of algorithmic injustice requires both an ex ante and an ex post perspective. In order for us to start thinking about ex post accountability in a meaningful way—that is, in a way that actually reflects the concerns and lived experiences of those most affected by algorithmic tools—we need to first make it possible for society as a whole, not just tech industry employees, to ask the deeper ex ante questions (e.g. “Should we even use weak AI in this domain at all?”)".

Three years after the W3C approved a DRM standard, it's no longer possible to make a functional indie browser

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Three years after the W3C approved a DRM standard, it's no longer possible to make a functional indie browser
Cory Doctorow, BoingBoing, 2020/01/10
I don't know how much this is overstated and how much is awful truth. However, given everything a browser can do today, I would say that even without being locked out by vendors, it would be very difficult to create a new independent browser (thank goodness for Firefox). Anyhow, the culprit in the present story is the Encrypted Media Extensions, or EME, which is what enables companies like Netflix to offer secure videos. We covered EME in 2017. Though these are proprietary, the W3C agreed to make them a web standard three years ago. More...

Cutting-edge Continuous Delivery: Automated Canary Analysis Through Spring-based Spinnaker

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Cutting-edge Continuous Delivery: Automated Canary Analysis Through Spring-based Spinnaker
Andreas Evers, InfoQ, 2020/01/10
I'm not (necessarily) going to recommend you view this presentation. It's here because reading it made my eyes roll - I recognized almost nothing in the title. I'd heard of 'continuous delivery' - that's where you continuously update your application or service using automation. But the rest? OK (takes breath). Spring is a framework for building applications in Java (Java is a programming language). Spinnaker is software that deploys applications to cloud services. Canary Analysis is a Google-supported system that evaluates prformance metrics to make sure the update was safe. More...

What Does Technology Want?

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. What Does Technology Want?
nick shackleton-jones, aconventional, 2020/01/10
The title of this post is a play on the old Kevin Kelly book, What Technology Wants. The author's one-word answer is "understanding". But what would a machine's answer be? "Perhaps what technology feels, what technology wants, is right in front of us – we just can’t relate to it: it already feels & wills but not in a way remotely like us. I find this a terrifying thought: not that technology doesn't feel, but that it feels in a way that is incomprehensible to us." This reminds me of Nagel's What is it Like to Be a Bat? We couldn't really know the answer. Same with a machine, then. More...

Connecting Learning Analytics and Problem-Based Learning – Potentials and Challenges

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Connecting Learning Analytics and Problem-Based Learning – Potentials and Challenges
Daria Kili ńska, Thomas Ryberg, Journal of Problem Based Learning in Higher Education, 2020/01/08
According to this article (24 page PDF), " Learning analytics (LA) have not yet gained much interest among the Problem-Based Learning (PBL) practitioners and researchers and the possible connections between PBL and LA have not yet been properly explored." The authors intent to address that by looking for possible connections. They do find two examples; one, a PBL workshop enriched with a LA dashboard, was of limited use; the other, representing existing surveys from social sciences in a visual form, was more useful. They also find potential in self-directed learning, reflective writing, and discussion support. More...

Contained, Open Source Environments Compatible With Everything? What Elearning Professionals Should Know About Docker

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Contained, Open Source Environments Compatible With Everything? What Elearning Professionals Should Know About Docker
Cristian T. Duque, LMS Pulse, 2020/01/08
If you're just reading about Docker for the first time, this is a good article to start with. Here's the promise: "Install, configure and deploy your LMS or elearning platform once in Docker, now you can make copies by the snap of your finger." Sounds great but it isn't always that easy to do the first bit (I still don't have a Dockerized version of gRSShopper, though not for lack of effort). More...
