By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. New Study Recommends Key Actions to Improve Early Childhood Education in Mongolia

‘Who shared it?’: How Americans decide what news to trust on social media

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. ‘Who shared it?’: How Americans decide what news to trust on social media
Tom Rosenstiel, et.al., Amercial Press Institute, 2017/03/30
According to this report (13 page PDF) "when Americans encounter news on social media, how much they trust the content is determined less by who creates the news than by who shares it." How much they engage with it (for example, by passing it along) also depends more on who shares it. More...

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Apple’s Augmented Reality Debut Will Look More Like “Pokémon” Than Magic Leap
Mark Sullivan, Fast Company, 2017/03/29

Sophia Harris, CBC News, 2017/03/29
I never actually did this (honestly!) but it was a thing when I was young to sneak into movie theatres. One person would buy a ticket and then open the emergency exit for others. Or you'd sneak under the ticket window. More...

Ramadhan Rajab, University World News, 2017/03/20
