Jean Pisani-Ferry est nommé Commissaire général à la stratégie et à la prospective (CGSP)

http://www.strategie.gouv.fr/system/files/imagecache/vignette_multimedia/jpf2.jpgJean Pisani-Ferry a été nommé, Commissaire général à la stratégie et à la prospective en Conseil des Ministres du 24 avril 2013.
Créé par décret du 22 avril 2013, le Commissariat général à la stratégie et à la prospective (CGSP) se substitue au Centre d'analyse stratégique. Lieu d'échanges et de concertation, le Commissariat général apportera son concours au Gouvernement pour la détermination des grandes orientations de l'avenir de la nation et des objectifs à moyen et long terme de son développement économique, social, culturel et environnemental. Il contribuera, par ailleurs, à la préparation des réformes décidées par les pouvoirs publics.
Fort d'une nouvelle ambition,
lieu transversal de concertation et de réflexion, le CGSP s'attachera à: 
• Renouveler l'approche de la stratégie et de la prospective économique et sociale afin d'éclairer les pouvoirs publics sur les trajectoires possibles à moyen et long terme pour la France en matière économique, sociale, culturelle et environnementale. 
• Redonner vigueur à la concertation avec les partenaires sociaux et développer le dialogue avec les acteurs de la société civile.
http://newsletter.mediapostmulticanal.biz/CAS/2013_Avril/HTML_CGSP_02.gifAprès avoir été président-délégué du Conseil d’analyse économique, puis créé et dirigé depuis 2005 le think tank Bruegel, Jean Pisani-Ferry est donc chargé d’animer le nouveau Commissariat dont la création avait été annoncée lors de la Conférence sociale de l’été dernier.
Le Premier Ministre a ainsi fait le choix d’un homme au parcours international et issu du monde de la recherche et du débat économique. Le Commissariat général à la stratégie et à la prospective (CGSP), institution voulue par le Président de la République et par le Premier ministre, se substitue au Centre d’analyse stratégique.
Jean-Marc Ayrault indique
« attendre du nouveau Commissariat qu'Il soit ambitieux. Il faut qu'il jette un regard neuf sur l'économie et la société, éclaire sans concession les choix publics et conduise un dialogue exigeant et créatif avec les partenaires sociaux et la société civile ». C’est ce à quoi répondra le Commissariat général à la stratégie et à la prospective.

  • Redonner vigueur à la concertation avec les partenaires sociaux et développer le dialogue avec les acteurs de la société civile.

Jean Pisani-Ferry, qui prendra ses fonctions le 1er mai, précise: « Je crois aux idées, et je crois que ces idées naissent dans le dialogue. Notre mission allie conseil au gouvernement d’un côté et concertation et débats publics de l’autre. Ces deux volets sont très complémentaires. »
Le CGSP travaillera en réseau avec 8 organismes à compétences sectorielles
: le Conseil d'analyse économique; le Conseil d'orientation des retraites; le Conseil d'orientation pour l'emploi; le Haut Conseil de la famille; le Haut Conseil pour l'avenir de l'assurance maladie; le Haut Conseil du financement de la protection sociale; le Conseil national de l'industrie; le Centre d'études prospectives et d'informations internationales. Le CGSP travaillera dans la transparence, notamment par la publication sur son site Internet de documents permettant de suivre l’avancement de ses travaux.

The flipped classroom is not about “throughput”

http://chronicle.com/img/photos/biz/icons/casting-out-nines.pngBy Robert Talbert. The Washington Post reports this morning (apologies if this is behind a paywall) about how some universities are (finally?) moving from in-class lecture as the basis for their “large lecture” courses to the flipped or inverted classroom. Says the article: Colleges are absorbing lessons from the online education boom, including the growth of massive open online courses, or MOOCs. And some professors are “flipping”  their classrooms to provide more content to students online and less through standard lectures. Read more...

A First Look at the Digital Public Library of America

http://chronicle.com/blogs/profhacker/files/2013/04/dpla-logo.jpgBy Lincoln Mullen. Last Thursday at noon the Digital Public Library of America launched its website. The opening festivities, which had been booked solid with a long wait list for weeks, were canceled, since the venue at the main branch of the Boston Public Library was adjacent to the site of the bombing in Boston earlier that week. But the DPLA, which is a website and not a location, went ahead with the launch of the public service anyway. Read more...

Hubs and Centers as a Transitional Strategy

http://chronicle.com/img/photos/biz/icons/u-librarian-nameplate.gifBy Brian Mathews. We’re still in the early stages of reshaping the role of our library but I wanted to share a document that outlines some of our thinking. Julie Speer, Tyler Walters, and I co-wrote a paper for the International Association of Technological University Libraries (IATUL) Conference. Read more...

Are online public universities the new land-grant institution?

http://chronicle.com/img/photos/biz/icons/u-librarian-nameplate.gifBy Brian Mathews. I see that Florida approved an online-only public university and that California is exploring faculty-free colleges that would award exam-based degrees. Combine this with the fact that the federal government is exploring different models for financial aid based on competency rather than the quantity of credit hours. And add in that accreditation bodies are warming up to more open learning models. Read more...

Campuses as Beacons of Change

http://chronicle.com/img/photos/biz/icons/worldwise-nameplate.gifBy Nigel Thrift. University campuses are increasingly becoming beacons for public values, contrary to the many critics who seem to believe that the Dark Ages are upon us in higher education. There are many different campuses that are leading society to a better place by setting an example themselves. In the past, they were on the forefront of battles over gender and racial equality. But the story doesn’t end there. I see progress recently in four other important areas: gun control, sustainability, community outreach, and global health. In the United States, the most recent instance is the campaign by many college and university presidents to take on the gun lobby and reassert the need for gun-free campuses—against considerable pressure from state legislatures in some cases. Five states now permit the concealed carry of firearms at public institutions. As other state legislators introduce bills to allow concealed firearms on campuses, higher-education leaders are stepping into the fight to prevent the proposals from becoming law. Read more...

Being a Conjunction (slash Coordinator)

http://chronicle.com/img/photos/biz/icons/lingua-franca-nameplate.pngBy Geoffrey Pullum. “Slang creates a lot of new nouns, verbs, adjectives, and adverbs,” said Anne Curzan here on Lingua Franca recently; “it isn’t that often that slang creates a new conjunction.” She puts her finger on exactly the right point there. For English to add a new word is not news. But the classes of words that modern linguists call lexical categories (“parts of speech” was the quaint 18th-century term for them) are like clubs of varying selectivity. They all admit new members from time to time, but while Noun is the least discriminating (very much the club that you wouldn’t want to belong to given that it would take just anybody), the most exclusive one, with the slowest growth, is probably the one traditionally called “conjunction”—the category of words like and, or, and but.

Time Traveler’s Language Guide

http://chronicle.com/img/photos/biz/icons/lingua-franca-nameplate.pngBy Allan Metcalf. One left, two left — Excuse me, I was just talking with a guy from 6,000 years ago.
Language, being learned rather than innate, has a natural tendency to change as each person learns it under slightly different circumstances.
It works like the game of Telephone, where each person whispers a message to the next, and the outcome isn’t the same as the input. Languages don’t change as fast as Telephone, because mispronunciations and misinterpretations usually get corrected by family, friends, teachers, editors, and busybodies. Still, a thousand years of Telephone can make a big difference. It certainly does in English, which received a thick infusion of French vocabulary, topped off with Latin and Greek, during the past millennium.
So the English spoken in England a thousand years ago, the true “Old English,” is quite different from ours. Read more...

Slash: Not Just a Punctuation Mark Anymore

http://chronicle.com/img/photos/biz/icons/lingua-franca-nameplate.pngBy Anne Curzan. In the undergraduate history of English course I am teaching this term, I request/require that the students teach me two new slang words every day before I begin class. I learn some great words this way (e.g., hangry “cranky or angry due to feeling hungry”; adorkable “adorable in a dorky way”). More importantly, the activity reinforces for students a key message of the course: that the history of English is happening all around us (and that slang is humans’ linguistic creativity at work, not linguistic corruption).

Before MOOCs, ‘Colleges of the Air’

http://chronicle.com/img/photos/biz/icons/the-conversation-newheader.pngBy Susan Matt and Luke Fernandez. In 1937, as she lay ill in bed, Annie Oakes Huntington, a writer living in Maine, thought of ways to spend her time. She confided in a letter: “The radio has been a source of unfailing diversion this winter. I expect to enter all the courses at Harvard to be broadcasted.” Huntington was joining in an educational experiment sweeping the country in the 1920s and 30s: massive open on-air courses.
As educators contemplate the MOOCs of our day—massive open online courses—they would do well to consider how earlier generations dealt with technology-enhanced education. Read more...
