New Directions in Learning

New Directions in Learning
Today's brief newsletter is coming from Whitehorse, Yukon Territory, in Canada's north where, I'm happy to report, my hotel came equipped with free broadband internet access. Today is just a brief update as I'm off to give a seminar in fifteen minutes; I'll follow up with a fuller newsletter tonight. This item consists of slides and MP3 audio (Part One (7.6M), Part Two (9.2M)). You know you're speaking to the right group when three of them are wearing those black "I'm blogging this" t-shirts. :) By Stephen Downes, Stephen's Web, November 18, 2004 [Refer][Research][Reflect].

Comment Spam Blocker

Comment Spam Blocker
I have installed a new spam blocker in my discussion area (the place you reach when you hit [Reflect]). Actually, I had several running, one which actually blocked all comments - a little less than useful. If you had a problem posting a comment recently, this should be fixed now. But I still have my main spam filter, a wonderful array of misdirects and hidden keywords designed to fool automated systems and yet let real people post comments anonymously. I'll email the code to anyone I know who asks and promises to keep it reasonably well hidden. It's in Perl only, but of someone wants to code a PHP bit it should work equally well for wikis (assuming it works reasonably well - I'm still testing, but so far it has worked beautifully).

Hardware Devices - iPods at the Gate

Hardware Devices - iPods at the Gate
Some people are calling it a publicity stunt, but as podcasting gains ground Duke will be thought of as the university where it was done a good four months (at a minimum) prior to anyone else. This article describes podcasting at Duke website (More). More...

Podcasting

Podcasting
If you're like everyone else, podcasting - the syndication of MP3 music files via RSS to Apple iPod music players - has arrived and taken off before you knew what was happening. This link is to the Edu_RSS search page for podcasting - it will keep you up to date in this rapidly changing terrain. By Stephen Downes, Stephen's Web, November 15, 2004 [Refer][Research][Reflect].

Net*Working 2004 Underground Chat

Net*Working 2004 Underground Chat
I've been covering (in the form of an internal newsletter) the online Net*Working 2004 conference. The conference features a chat system called Wimba, which in turn wants me to use Internet Explorer and Windows. So I coded a little chat engine - basically similar to the one on my website - and inserted it into the Net*Working conference. So now the conferencers have a window out and you have a window in - and you don't need Windows. Remember, the conference is based in Australia so most people will be on the chat during the night in the western hemisphere - and like most such systems, expect to wait a bit for a visitor to drop by.

« 1er décembre 1988 : il y a trente ans, le RMI ». Rencontre à Paris le 1 er décembre 2018

Alternatives EconomiquesSur le blog de Michel Abhervé pour Alternatives économiques. Le Luxembourg est le seul pays de l'Union Européen à mentionner, explicitement, l'Economie Sociale et Solidaire dans son organigramme ministériel (En France, nous avons depuis 2017 un Haut-Commissaire qui, contrairement à ce que certains médias affirment, n'appartient pas au Gouvernement).
