Débattre démocratiquement des enjeux « sciences-société »

Comment éviter la dramatisation du débat scientifique et rendre le dialogue durable entre les experts et les publics ? Comment faire en sorte que les passions, les peurs, se transforment en désirs de savoir ? Quelle forme de médiation et de concertation, régulant et facilitant les débats, est susceptible de favoriser la démocratie des débats ? Nous avons demandé à trois représentants d’associations soucieuses d’animer le débat public sur les relations entre la science et la société de répondre à nos questions sur ces thèmes trop peu abordés.

Why Introverted Teachers Are Burning Out

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Why Introverted Teachers Are Burning Out
Michael Godsey, The Atlantic, 2016/02/02

I can easily understand how introverted teachers would be at risk of burning out. Contact hours are stressful and people who are introverted need time to recharge.

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Should you #DeleteAcademiaEdu? On the role of commercial services in scholarly communication.
Paolo Mangiafico, LSE Blog, 2016/02/02

One is the recap of last week's controverse du jour in the Chronicle revolving around an email from Academia.edu asking an academic whether he would be willing to pay "a small fee" to publicize his paper. Much outrage and the obligatory hashtag ensued. More...

Connected Copies

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Connected Copies
Michael Caulfield, Hapgood, 2016/02/01

It's funny. Mike Caulfield wonders "why more OER sites don’t grab material from one another and populate their own sites with it, instead of linking out" while I wonder why they want to combine materials together instead of just linking to them. More...

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Wondering if Life Would be Easier With an OU – or FutureLearn – Compute Stick…?
Tony Hirst, OUseful Info, 2016/02/01

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Making a MOOC ‘successful’

What exactly is it that makes a MOOC successful? David Hopkins links to a number of schemes (here, here, here, here and here) based on things like "interactions, journeys, optimum length, appropriate materials, platform, etc." but suggests that what really makes a MOOC successful has far more to do with how much attention you can drive to it.
