U.S. Education Department Issues Guidance on Student Data Privacy

Nuevo servicio de Google Meet Oppia bloqueado para Cuba
Raidell Avello Martínez, Tú puedes usar las TIC, March 3, 2014

So it looks like Oppia, which I mentioned last week, doesn't exactly allow anyone to create a new interactive learning experience. In particular, it doesn't allow people in Cuba to do this (nor probably in a few other countries, notably Iran, Syria and Sudan). More...

Journées nationales de la science ouverte

ESR enseignementsup-recherche gouv frLa science ouverte n’est ni un courant de pensée, ni une mode, ni une posture, ni une préférence technique ou éditoriale : c’est une force qui bouscule les pratiques établies et les mentalités, un geste qui libère la dynamique de progrès par le savoir, une évidence pour quiconque veut donner à la connaissance le pouvoir de transformer le monde et de soutenir la rationalité trop souvent battue en brèche.
