Non-EU international students to pay much higher fees

By Jane Marshall. The French government is proposing to charge higher fees to foreign students from outside the European Union from the next university year, Prime Minister Edouard Philippe has announced. At present these students pay the same fees as French and EU students.
All students studying in a French university pay €170 (US$194) a year for a licence, the three-year first diploma equivalent to a bachelor degree. For a masters they pay €243 and for a doctorate €380. But in future a non-EU foreign student could be charged €2,770 (US$3,150) a year for a licence and €3,770 for the two more advanced degree courses. More...

The Bookmarklet Solution to the Password Problem

The Bookmarklet Solution to the Password Problem
On the other hand, here's another solution to the password problem (one which won't get you indexed at Microsoft Central). This nifty script auto-generates a password based on a seed word and the name of the site you're trying to enter. And it seems to me that it wouldn't take a lot to completely automate this, so you basically don't see the password entry. More...

Exploring the Use of Blogs as Learning Spaces in the Higher Education Sector

Exploring the Use of Blogs as Learning Spaces in the Higher Education Sector
The authors write that "the chief purpose of this paper is to comment, critically, on the potential for blogs as 'learning spaces' for students within the higher education sector," which it does with an examination of how blogs have been used at Harvard Law School and Queensland University of Technology. Some interesting bits, including some reflection on the dearth of refereed literature about blogging (the edu-bloggers tending to put the work in their blogs instead, where it is subject to a rather more vigorous screening).

Mr. Minister, Please Protect The Public Interest

Mr. Minister, Please Protect The Public Interest
Like many European nations, Canada is under pressure to ratify the new and sterner provisions of the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) regulations. As Michael Geist writes, "U.S. broadcasters and the MPAA have actively lobbied for the creation of the World Intellectual Property Organization's Treaty for the Protection of Broadcasting Organizations. This treaty would grant broadcasters increased powers over who may control, transmit, or record broadcast signals. The U.S. would even like to extend this power to Webcasts, which could be interpreted to cover Internet downloads." But if the Canadian government thinks ratification will take the pressure off, it is wrong. More...

Clarity Newsletter

Clarity Newsletter
Issue number three of the Clarity Newsletter arrived in my inbox this morning. The newsletter, sadly, fails the credibility test, asserting repeatedly its faith in "evidence-based science" (sometimes stretched to the absurd, as when having two test groups "act as control groups for each other") while making a slew of unsubstantiated (and unreferenced) assertions about learning and literacy in Canada. More...

A GMail-based Blog With 1000 MB of Entries

A GMail-based Blog With 1000 MB of Entries
Some of the most entertaining work on the internet these days is being done around Google's new GMail service. Give people a gigabyte of storage and an application interface and who knows what you can do! One person has turned his email account into a file server. Another person has turned his email account into blog authoring software. This discussion on Slashdot raises the question: does Google mind? Hard to say. More...

Reusable Media... Redux

Reusable Media... Redux
I've had some email from readers expressing concern - quite naturally - about the size of the MP3 version of my talk in Utah. After all, it's 64.5 mb, about 30 minutes to download (if you're lucky). What I would like are some suggestions. I have a Linux based web server, but no streaming media server and no money to buy one (not that I would want to anyway). More...

Australia Bound

Australia Bound
It has taken a lot of planning by many people, but next Monday I will jump on to an airplane and fly around the world. On the way, I will stop for a month in Australia, visiting (in order) Canberra, Brisbane, Cairns, Darwin, Alice Springs, Adelaide, Hobart, Sydney and Perth. I will be giving public talks in most of those locations. This link describes the talks I will be giving and some additional details about my trip. If you are living in Australia (and a great many OLDaily readers are) then I hope to be able to see you en route. By Stephen Downes, Stephen's Web, September 8, 2004 [Refer][Research][Reflect].
