Scientific Facts — Are they like Myths, Told through Fairytales and Spread by Gossip?

Scientific Facts — Are they like Myths, Told through Fairytales and Spread by Gossip?
Anita de Waard, The Scholarly Kitchen, 2018/09/27
This paper caught my imagination despite myself, and then convinced me that the answer to the question in the headline is "yes". The key is in understanding the semantics in articles: "In stories and rhetoric, a statement exists not as a separate entity, but plays a role in the overarching narrative." When we look at scientific papers, this role is often signified by tense. More...

Surprising Ways AI Can Improve eLearning Accessibility
Pamela Hogle, Learning Solutions, 2018/09/27

I don't thing the solutions are particularly "surprising" but I think the linkage between AI and accessibility is a good one. More...

Defining OER-Enabled Pedagogy

Defining OER-Enabled Pedagogy
David Wiley, John Levi Hilton III, International Review of Research in Open and Distributed Learning, 2018/09/27
I really think this is last year's issue, and that most people have moved on, but I would be remiss if I didn't document David Wiley's definition of OER-enabled pedagogy in this article. "We define OER-enabled pedagogy as the set of teaching and learning practices that are only possible or practical in the context of the 5R permissions which are characteristic of OER." As the authors note (in the very next sentence), pedagogy is not usually defined in terms of copyright. More...

How do Virtual Teams Collaborate in Online Learning Tasks in a MOOC?

How do Virtual Teams Collaborate in Online Learning Tasks in a MOOC?
Annemarie Spruijt, Amber Dailey-Hebert, Herco Fonteijn, Geraldine Clarebout, Daniëlle Verstegen, International Review of Research in Open and Distributed Learning, 2018/09/27
This is a fairly narrow study but I like the question and the issue of collaboration in MOOCs has certainly been raised as an issue before. This MOOC was called Problem-Based Learning: Principles and design. Students at the centre! which meant that they couldn't get away without doing problem-based learning, which in turn pretty much requires the formation of collaborative groups. More...

Second Draft: A Continuum of Personalized Learning

Second Draft: A Continuum of Personalized Learning
Larry Cuban, Larry Cuban on School Reform and Classroom Practice, 2018/09/27
This is one of those articles where a diagram would have helped a lot. Well, mostly because it would have shown how the idea of a 'continuum' here is incoherent. But still. Here's Larry Cuban's description of the continuum: "At one end of the continuum are teacher-centered lessons within the traditional age-graded school.... At the other end of the continuum are student-centered classrooms, programs, and schools." OK, so what's in between. More...

A portal into a decentralised universe

A portal into a decentralised universe

This is one of these thinhgs that has been in development for a number of years and will suddenly arrive everywhere. The IPFS - InterPlanetary File System - is a distributed network of hash-addressed resources that you store and share with your IPFS application. More...

Should Students Listen to Background Music While They Read?

Should Students Listen to Background Music While They Read?
Daniel Willingham, Science & Education, 2018/09/18
This is interesting because it represents Daniel Willingham backing off a bit from a strict and unthinking application of the cognitive load theory. The idea of cognitive load is that we can only handle so much information at a time, and so in the past we've been told we should eliminate any distraction - extra content, background music, whatever.

Eric Hellman, Go To Hellman, 2018/09/18
I have been investigating Crypto-Kitties as part of my wider work looking at distributed ledger technologies. So I found interesting to read Eric Hellman's discussion of our digital feline friends in the context of digital rights management. "What if were possible to 'CryptoKittify' ebooks?" he asks.

The MIT Press and the MIT Media Lab Launch the Knowledge Futures Group

The MIT Press and the MIT Media Lab Launch the Knowledge Futures Group
MIT Press, 2018/09/26
While I'm sure the people at the Public Knowledge Project (PKP) are supportive of any initiative to get research into the public sphere, I'm sure they would be surprisaed to learn that MIT's new Knowledge Futures Group (KFG) initiative is "a first-of-its kind collaboration between a leading publisher and a world-class academic lab to transform how research information is created and shared." Maybe MIT means "first in the US" or perhaps "first at MIT. More...
