Lire sur papier, lire sur écran : en quoi est-ce différent ?

The ConversationLes écrans de téléphones mobiles, de tablettes et d’ordinateurs envahissent notre quotidien, et voilà dictionnaires, fiches de cours ou même classiques de la littérature à portée de clic. Faut-il inciter les élèves à profiter à 100% de ces facilités d'accès inédites au savoir, et renvoyer le papier au passé ? Rien n'est moins sûr si l'on se penche sur les derniers résultats de la recherche. Plus...

New Communication and Information Technologies Emerging in the Workplace

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. New Communication and Information Technologies Emerging in the Workplace
Though the presenters made no effort to dazzle us with demos, I quite enjoyed this presentation, a rare behind the scenes look at the development and deployment of a person alized e-learning system for call centre employees at a major bank. Of course, you could never get away with a system like this - which interrupts your slow time with required q15-minute training sessions - in anything outside a command environment.

PowerPoint Slides and MP3 Audio from my talk at This Is IT in North Bay. The title is descriptive as I survey three major characteristics of good learning behaviour - generating interactivity, making your learning content usable, and ensuring relevance. The talk was given in an airplane hanger at the local airport, a huge concrfete block building with the accoustics of, well, a huge concrete block building. So the sound quality on the audio isn't great, which is too bad. By Stephen Downes, Stephen's Web, May 27, 2005 [Refer][Research][Reflect]. More...

Schools are asking students to bring digital devices to class, but are they actually being used?

The ConversationIt’s been over ten years since Kevin Rudd’s Digital Education Revolution placed small laptops (also called Rudd-tops) into the hands of every Year 9 and up Australian student. Once the scheme was deemed unsustainable, for obvious reasons, many schools brought in a “bring your own device” (BYOD) scheme. More...
