« Il faut diffuser la culture du compromis et enseigner l’art des concessions » Entretien avec Christian Thuderoz
. « Ha ! Les Compromis, les Préjugés, les Lâchetés ! Que je pactise ? Jamais ! », lance le Cyrano de Bergerac d’Edmond Rostand avant de rendre l’âme dans les bras de Roxane. Décidément, la culture française n’est pas tendre avec les compromis. Perçu comme une défaite, un renoncement, le compromis est, pour beaucoup, synonyme de « compromission ». Un tort.

Grands projets (12)
L’idée de «penser grand» ne date pas d’hier : la Grande muraille de Chine, les pyramides d’Égypte, la tour de Babel, grandiose projet avorté, ou même la tour Eiffel, il y a plus de 100 ans, ces initiatives jalonnent l’histoire de l’humanité. Voir l'article...

Par Alexandre Roberge. En près de 50 ans, la population urbaine est passée de 34 % à 54 % sur une population globale qui a plus que doublé. Ainsi, la majorité des gens vivent désormais dans des villes. Et cette tendance se maintient. Or, l'espace est limité sur cette planète et nous avons aussi besoin de vastes milieux naturels pour survivre. Voir l'article...

Controlling the Social Construct
By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Controlling the Social Construct
Leigh Blackall, 2015/08/17
I agree with Leigh Blackall that constructivism should be criticized, but I don't agree with his argument. "I'm wondering if individuals and their societies really do freely construct their knowledge and understanding, or is it more likely constructed for them," he writes. More...

Synesthesia: From Cross-Modal to Modality-Free Learning and Knowledge
By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Synesthesia: From Cross-Modal to Modality-Free Learning and Knowledge
Roy Williams, Simone Gumtau, Jenny Mackness, Leonardo, 2015/08/17
Really interesting paper looking at the phenomenon of synesthesia as it relates to concept formation, using as its basis two case studies where children create complex ideas out of simple experiences without benefit of verbal or textual guidance. Synesthesia is the name given to a cross-over of one sensory input into another - sounds are perceived as shapes, for example, or words are perceived as colours. More...

The Problem With Group Projects
By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. The Problem With Group Projects
Alfred Thompson, Computer Science Teacher, 2015/08/14
I was never a fan of group projects, for two reasons: first, someone else, usually without a firm grasp on the material, wanted to take charge; and second, no matter who was in charge, I ended up doing all the work. More...

Learning Styles, Mindsets, and Adaptive Strategies
By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Learning Styles, Mindsets, and Adaptive Strategies
Matt Bury, matbury.com, 2015/08/14
This is a really nice contribution in support of the concept of learning styles that reinterpretings it away from the 'fixed mindset' model, where styles are more like innate properties of a person, and toward a 'growth perspective', where learning styles can change and develop as a person matures.
