La justice de l'an mil

Pourquoi traiter de la justice en l'an mil ? Au moment où la justice contemporaine se préoccupe des rapports quelle entretient avec l'État sur fond dindépendance entre les pouvoirs et de ses liens avec lopinion sur fond de débats avec les médias il paraissait important de remonter aux racines dune histoire des fonctionnements judiciaires. Lentreprise est délicate pour cet an Mil pétri doralité. Les textes se dérobent et le droit y est traditionnellement décrit comme évanescent tandis que pèse « la main de Dieu ». Est-ce pour autant le règne de linjustice et du désordre ? On a pu longtemps le croire. Une lecture nouvelle des institutions des ordalies et de la vengeance permet de poser le problème autrement. Décrire comment se nouent les liens entre le législateur le juge les parties adverses et le public revient à comprendre comment dès cette époque la justice sest affirmée à la fois comme un idéal et comme un bricolage comme un ordre transcendant et comme un besoin venu den bas reconnu aux hommes libres.

Learning Passionately

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Learning Passionately
John Connell summarizes a talk by John Seely Brown regarding 'passion-based learning, "a highly collaborative and social mode of learning that he feels we should be moving towards in schools and beyond,... 'situations where students who are passionate about specific topics study in groups and participate in online communities.'" In a follow-up Connell wonders about the relation between knowledge and social construction. Knowledge, of course, is something that is personal. But it depends for both its creation and representation (in many cases) on social interaction, and so it is tempting to say that knowledge is essentially social, not personal. This would be a mistake - there is some knowledge that indeed is social - things it takes an entire society to know, like how to fly to the moon - but this is not the same as the knowledge you and I have, which exists entirely (and only) in our own heads.

Blended Learning?

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Blended Learning?
Interesting. If you consider the concept of 'blended learning' you soon realize that many things can be 'blended', not just delivery models. Things like role, focus, and curricula. And if you can blend many things, then there is the possibility that different overt and covert curricula can be blended. "From this perspective the key affordances of e-learning, flexibility, community and individualisation are problematic. Against flexibility might be set a return to piecework and insecurity." Via Graham Attwell. See also George Roberts on community consolidation: "Communities don't just happen. There needs to be organisation, structure, coordination, focus and planning". More...

Danah Boyd On MySpace and Facebook

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Danah Boyd On MySpace and Facebook
"Our children are hyper-controlled... they're not allowed out of the house." There's a lot of truth to that, and I recall seeing a diagram showing how sharply reduced the permitted range of movement for a child or youth in today's society has become. I remember, when I was a kid, I bicycled as far away as Casselman and I hitch-hiked into Ottawa. I can't imagine being constrained the way many of today's kids are. Today, children and teens have to use online tools - such as Facebook - to interact. Jo McLeay comments on Mike Seyfang's mash-up video, in which "(he) need(s) to re-think (his) hatred of walled gardens (especially facebook lack of RSS)". More...

Am I Being Unfair to Blackboard?

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Am I Being Unfair to Blackboard?
Alfred Essa questions his stance in the light of developments in the latest Blackboard patent kerfuffle. Because it appears that iParadigms was in the process of asserting rights it did not have (and Essa looks at the contract and says to iParadigms, "What did you think you were signing exactly?" And Michael Feldstein comments, "one central, salient fact is clear: iParadigms was seeking to assert a patent for educational software."). OK, so iParadigms are just as guilty as Blackboard for contributing to the edupatents mess. Meanwhile, I think Essa quite rightly asks, "But if these APIs are truly 'open', why as a developer do I have to give up ANY rights to Blackboard?" Why indeed. More...

Future of Librarians

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Future of Librarians
Jane Hart's compilation of top tools used by educational technologists has been widely noticed, but in an unusual way. Steve Bell at ACRLog noted that libraries and library resources weren't among the tools listed and suggested that this must be because the were inadequately publicized. I commented that "it might be because they are not actually very valuable e-learning resources as presently constituted." This discussion then made the Chronicle of Higher Education (and I'd like to welcome the new readers from the Chronicle, sent here via one of the magazine's rare forays into the edublogosphere).

Sorry Teachers, but the Read/Write Web Is Not Shutting Down

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Sorry Teachers, but the Read/Write Web Is Not Shutting Down
According to a BBC article, delegates at a meeting of the Professional Association of Teachers (PAT) in Britain have called on sites like YouTube to be closed down because of cyberbullying. I am inclined to agree with commentator Emma-Jane Cross: "Calls for social networking sites like YouTube to be closed because of cyberbullying are as intelligent as calls for schools to be closed because of bullying".

Disney Buys Popular Kids' Networking Site

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Disney Buys Popular Kids' Networking Site
Disney has decided it was worth $350 million to buy the Club Penguin, which has 700,000 subscribers paying $5 a month. I find it interesting that Disney was as interested in the values expressed by the site as the technology. "Club Penguin embodies principles that are of the utmost importance to Disney - providing high-quality family entertainment and fostering parental trust," said Bob Iger, Disney's president and chief executive.

Africa: 'Internet in a Box' Brings Information to Developing World

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Africa: 'Internet in a Box' Brings Information to Developing World
This is an interesting item. "The eGranary Digital Library is often called "The Internet in a Box" because it offers offline approximately 10 million educational resources from more than 1,000 Web sites, including OpenCourseWare from course offerings by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Project Gutenberg's complete collection of classic literature and the entire Wikipedia Web site".

Bloggers Keep Teachers, Students Informed On Education Topics

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Bloggers Keep Teachers, Students Informed On Education Topics
Article introducing people who are bcoming known as experts via their blogs, for example, Joanne Jacobs, "Considered in cyberspace as the 'education blogmother.'" Jacobs is a good read; see this post on teaching to the test: "Students have little time to write anything but BCRs: They may write about plays but they don't act them out, much less try to write their own. They don't read chapter books and rarely go beyond the literal interpretation of what they've read." Also listed are Sean of EFL Geek and Matthew K. Tabor. I am long past being surprised to find clusters of bloggers like this. More...
