Former, informer, rechercher, fédérer

Une fois encore, la région Paca se révèle pionnière dans le domaine de l’économie sociale et solidaire : la première chaire Euro-Méditerranéenne de l’ESS vient d’être officiellement créée au sein de l’université Aix-Marseille (AMU). Mise en place par la Fondation AMU, elle a pour partenaires la Cress Paca, le Crédit coopératif et la Mutuelle de France Plus.

« La Fondation d’Aix-Marseille Université a pour vocation de favoriser la création de liens entre le monde socio-économique et le monde universitaire d’aujourd’hui, qui préfigure déjà ce que sera le monde de demain, explique Marie Masclet de Barbarin, vice-présidente de la Fondation, Maître de Conférences à la Faculté de Droit et de Science Politique. L’ESS, à cet égard, est un sujet majeur qui sera sans doute déterminant dans notre façon d’appréhender l’évolution économique de notre territoire et du territoire euro-méditerranéen dans lequel il s’inscrit. Le caractère transdisciplinaire du projet de chaire nous a immédiatement séduits. Et c’est tout naturellement que nous avons décidé de l’abriter au sein de la Fondation. »
Des enseignements dédiés à l’ESS existaient déjà dans cette université : un Master « RH ESS » mis en place l’année 2000, et un DESU « Ingénierie des organismes sans but lucratif – Droit de l’ESS » ouvert il y a 5 ans. Voir l'article...

Four Things that Highly Creative People Do

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Four Things that Highly Creative People Do
John Spencer, The Creative Classroom, 2015/12/15

This article helps dispel the myth of the genius. It's important to dispel this myth. The four things (paraphrased):

  • they make mistakes
  • they are normal
  • they are afraid nobody will like their stuff
  • they make stuff anyways.

These are totally true for me. More...

Showing Teachers They Matter

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Showing Teachers They Matter
Angela Maiers, 2015/12/15

There's a certain set of people that believe awards are important in recognizing contributions to a discipline. And I agree that the recognition is important. More...

Thinking critically

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Thinking critically
Jarold Jarche, adapting to perpetual beta, 2015/12/15

"Critical thinking," writes Harold Jarche, "can be looked at as four main activities:

  • Observing and studying our fields
  • Participating in professional communities
  • Building tentative opinions
  • Challenging and evaluating ideas."

Here's a better model. More...

Marc My Words: The Three Laws of eLearning Failure

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Marc My Words: The Three Laws of eLearning Failure
Marc Rosenberg, Learning Solutions Magazine, 2015/12/14
Here are the three laws (quoted):

  • Great eLearning technology combined with bad content results in more efficiently delivered bad content.
  • eLearning that is compensation for bad documentation, tools, processes, or management will ultimately prove to be a waste of time and money.
  • When great eLearning comes up against a lousy learning culture, the culture wins every time. More...

Resources from 25 Presentations at Miami Device 2015

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Resources from 25 Presentations at Miami Device 2015
Tony Vincent, Learning in Hand, 2015/12/14
The presentations are a bit hit-or-miss but I enjoyed reading or watching the uses of various new tools in learning. Basically, what we are seeing, I would say, is multimedia for the masses. Off the top, I like the infopics Tony Vincent makes. More...

EDUPUNK: It was pure in my heart!

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. EDUPUNK: It was pure in my heart!
Jim Groom, bavatuesdays, 2015/12/14

I'm not sure how seriously you should take this mockumentary, but it's worth thinking back to a time not even a decade ago when Facebook was young, when Twitter was a startup, and when anything beyond staid learning objects and management systems was punk. More...

MOOCs And Privacy, German Fears About Online Student Data

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. MOOCs And Privacy, German Fears About Online Student Data
Hannes Grassegger, Johannes Boie, Süddeutsche Zeitung, 2015/12/14

This is a retelling of the dispute between mathaematics professor Paul-Olivier Dehaye and Coursera. Dehaye, you may recall, is the instructor who pulled all his materials from Coursera mid-course. This telling of the story is a lot friendlier to Dehaye. More...

2016 – the year of MOOC hard questions

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. 2016 – the year of MOOC hard questions
Martin Weller, The Ed Techie, 2015/12/11

Martin calls these "hard questions" for MOOCs, but to me they're an indication of how deeply the concept of open online learning has been co-opted. Consider:

  • "Now we are seeing pricing models for MOOCs, it turns out that in order to amass enough credits for a degree, you’d end up paying quite a lot."
  • "Surprise! They’re not that cheap, particularly because unis often want them to be showcase products..."
  • "iTunes brand trumped the University one effectively.... I think a similar ‘MOOC platform trumps university brand’ battle may arise with MOOCs."
  • "the typical demographic of MOOCs being highly qualified, independent learners from a well off background."

So, maybe all these re issues. More...
