Hello, Hollywood! How to Add a Little Green Screen Magic to Your Videos

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Hello, Hollywood! How to Add a Little Green Screen Magic to Your Videos
Tracy Schaelen, 3C Media Solutions, 2016/08/10
I enjoyed this presentation on how to make green screen videos (and how to use them in the classroom) not only because the presenter is enthusiastic and engaging but also because the video offers very detailed instructions describing how to make the videos. More...

Facebook Cripples Ad Blockers on Its Site, Gives Consumers New Control Over Ads

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Facebook Cripples Ad Blockers on Its Site, Gives Consumers New Control Over Ads
Garett Sloane, Advertising Age, 2016/08/10
I love how removing my control over ads is now called "new control over ads". At least I have an explanation of why Facebook has been loading so slowly recently. More...

In the Only Surviving Recording of Her Voice, Virginia Woolf Explains Why Writing Isn’t a “Craft” (1937)

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. In the Only Surviving Recording of Her Voice, Virginia Woolf Explains Why Writing Isn’t a “Craft” (1937)
Dan Colman, Open Culture, 2016/08/10
Compare what we say about information today with what Virginia Woolf says about words in this the only surviving recording of her voice: "(words) hate being useful; they hate making money; they hate being lectured about in public. In short, they hate anything that stamps them with one meaning or confines them to one attitude, for it is in their nature to change." More...

Ten Theses In Support of Teaching and Against Learning Outcomes

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Ten Theses In Support of Teaching and Against Learning Outcomes
Jeff Noonan, Interventions, Evocations, 2016/08/09
I'm generally sympathetic with the objectives of this post but less so with how it is presented. The main point, that "Teaching at the university level is not a practice of communicating or transferring information but awakening in students a desire to think by revealing to them the questionability of things," is the least well supported assertion in the piece, though it is probably the most contentious. More...

People analytics reveals three things HR may be getting wrong

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. People analytics reveals three things HR may be getting wrong
Henri de Romrée, Bruce Fecheyr-Lippens, Bill Schaninger, McKinsey Quarterly, 2016/08/09
The important part of this study isn't that companies are hiring the wrong people - it has been pretty obvious for some time now that people graduating from 'good schools' aren't any better than the rest of us. More...

Could Open Research benefit Cambridge University researchers?

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Could Open Research benefit Cambridge University researchers?
Lauren Cadwallader, Joanna Jasiewicz, Marta Teperek, Unlocking Research, 2016/08/09

Good series from the University of Cambridge Office of Scholarly Communications on the challenges facing contemoporary scientific research. Here's the list of articles:

The mis-measurement problem - 11 July 2016
The authorship problem – 12 July 2016
Reproducibility, retractions & retrospective hypotheses – 14 July 2016
Does peer review work? - 19 July 2016
Solutions? – 2 August 2016
Could Open Research benefit Cambridge University researchers? – 3 August 2016

The last is the least interesting, as it mostly surveys the preceding five, and then takes a self-centered look at the issues. More...

Invent something at a university? The size of any future fortune will depend on which one

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Invent something at a university? The size of any future fortune will depend on which one
Claire Brownell, Financial Post, 2016/08/08
Who should own the intellectual property arising out of a student's work on a thesis, or a professor's work in academia? How about government researchers? With respect to the former, the Financial Post reflexively says "institutions should get out of the way as much as possible." But it's far from clear institutions are actually in the way - they may well have created the conditions that made the invention possible in the first place. More...

Little tribute to Tim Berners-Lee from the learning community

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Little tribute to Tim Berners-Lee from the learning community
Donald Clark, Donald Clark Plan B, 2016/08/08
A common trend in business writing recently has been to drop the determiner (so, for example, writing 'Business case is solid' instead of 'The business case is solid.') I think the belief is that it appears more efficient, but I just read it as more illiterate. More...

Open Educational Practice: the boring way and more interesting ways

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Open Educational Practice: the boring way and more interesting ways
David T. Jones, The Weblog of (a) David Jones, 2016/08/08
This is a pretty good post, but it leaves me hanging at the end. The 'boring way' of implementing Open educational Practice (OEP) is, as Jones describes it, is to "spend the time and effort to polish course materials into a book and make that book openly available to all." Fairly common, but yeah, fairly mundane. More...

Lessons Learned From Building An Open Online Course

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Lessons Learned From Building An Open Online Course

Chris Gaudreau, Torrey Trust, Weiyang Liu, eLearning Industry, 2016/08/04

I've seen these points raised before but I'd like to frame them with a question, which follows. The author asserts "the importance of using technology and Universal Design for Learning (UDL) principles to provide personalized, flexible, and accessible learning opportunities." Here they are:

Provide Multiple Means Of Representation
Provide Multiple Means Of Action And Expression
Provide Multiple Means Of Engagement

So here's the question: are these principles equally applicable in the case of the single learner. More...
