By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. With few ideas to end its financial crisis, and austerity the theme in Edmonton, Athabasca U edges toward the precipice
David Climenhaga, Alberta Politics, 2015/02/24
I hope Athabasca gets through this and thrives. People don't always realize that Athabasca is widely viewed as a great example of Canadian innovation. My time with Athabasca was a valuable experience, and being associated with it has opened many doors for me. More...

Les économistes ont-ils pris la réelle mesure de la crise ?
Le débat économique n’avance pas et peu d’économistes ont pris la juste mesure de la crise. C’est la thèse respectivement des Economistes atterrés et de James Galbraith dans leurs derniers livres qui prônent une sortie par l’écologie et les politiques sociales. Et l’Organisation Internationale du Travail ne semble par leur donner tort. Voir l'article...

Crise des vocations · Devenir manager ne fait plus rêver
La fonction managériale ne séduit plus les cadres : comment les DRH peuvent-elles réagir face à cette « crise des vocations » ?
Beaucoup de DRH et RRH en font le constat lors des entretiens individuels : les cadres sont de plus en plus nombreux à refuser de jouer un rôle d’encadrement. « Ils veulent évoluer mais préfèrent au management de proximité perçu longtemps comme un passage obligé pour ‘avancer’ dans l’entreprise, des fonctions d’experts non managériales.

Science's Creativity Crisis
By Roberta Ness. Are you as innovative as you want to be? Although eight of 10 respondents in a poll of thousands of workers from the United States, Europe, and Japan in 2012 said creativity was critical to unlocking global economic potential, only one in four felt they were fulfilling their own creative potential.

The Crisis of Information in Higher Education
By Beth Akers. Earlier this year, I coauthored a report that questioned the national dialogue about a pending student loan crisis. This report revealed evidence that ran counter to the notion that the majority of borrowers with student loan debt were struggling financially, or that the condition of borrowers has been deteriorating over time. Our analysis showed that onerous debt burdens were less common than many imagined, with only seven percent of young borrowers holding balances in excess of $50,000.
