Three cheers for the Mickey MOOCs University?

http://www.spiked-online.com/authors/DennisHayes/headline_new.jpgBy Dennis Hayes. Massive open online courses, like too many modern universities, can only offer qualifications, not education. MOOCs, or massive open online courses, are part of an ‘avalanche’ that is coming for higher education, according to a report earlier this year by Sir Michael Barber. The former policy wonk, now employed as the chief education adviser at publishers Pearson, claimed that online courses will challenge the traditional university, in its physical campus form at least.
There is a lot of excitement about the number of students enrolled on MOOCs since the big three US providers launched in 2012 – the ‘year of the MOOC’. The biggest provider, Coursera, now claims over 4.5million ‘Courserians’; edX has one million students, while for-profit Udacity has more than 750,000 students. Futurelearn, the UK’s first MOOC provider, was launched in December 2012 and is about to open its portfolio of courses. Futurelearn is led by the Open University, which has over 240,000 students of its own and an historical status as an innovative distance-learning institution. Read more...

Stagiaires en milieu professionnel : un statut encadré

http://t3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSZPxoCAQZCZkb3nBWInzXrM0bbHRraCViQ6c9q2GRPNGJrRAR3RmNj35gVous accueillez un stagiaire dans votre entreprise ou votre administration ?
Un certain nombre de règles sont à respecter : signature d’une convention tripartite, stage intégré à cursus pédagogique, durée limitée, gratification obligatoire pour tout stage supérieur à 2 mois, etc.
Les droits des stagiaires sont une nouvelle fois renforcés par plusieurs mesures de la loi du 22 juillet 2013 afin de limiter les abus :
- Une définition légale des stages est donnée à l’article L612-8 du Code de l’Education.
Le stage correspond à une période temporaire de mise en situation en milieu professionnel au cours de laquelle l’étudiant acquiert des compétences professionnelles qui mettent en œuvre les acquis de sa formation en vue de l’obtention d’un diplôme ou d’une certification.
Le stagiaire se voit confier une ou des missions conformes au projet pédagogique défini par son établissement d’enseignement et approuvées par l’organisme d’accueil.
Le stage ne peut pas avoir pour objet l’exécution d’une tâche régulière correspondant à un poste de travail permanent de l’entreprise, de l’administration publique, de l’association ou de tout autre organisme d’accueil.
La convention de stage devra désormais mentionner un volume pédagogique minimal de formation ainsi que les modalités d’encadrement du stage par l’établissement d’origine et l’organisme d’accueil (Décret à paraître).
- Les cas de dérogation à la durée maximale de 6 mois de stage sont limités :
La durée du ou des stages effectués par un même stagiaire dans une même entreprise ne peut excéder six mois par année d'enseignement. La loi prévoit de limiter les cas dérogatoires. Un décret doit fixer les formations nécessitant une durée de stage supérieure à 6 mois.
- Une gratification est obligatoire pour les stages de plus de 2 mois quel que soit l’organisme d’accueil :
L’obligation de verser une gratification pour tout stage supérieur à deux mois consécutifs effectué au sein d’une entreprise est désormais étendue aux stages réalisés dans une administration publique, d’une assemblée parlementaire, d’une assemblée consultative, d’une association ou au sein de tout autre organisme d’accueil.
Cette obligation s’applique également lorsqu’au cours d’une même année scolaire ou universitaire la durée de stage est supérieure à 2 mois non consécutifs.

Curating Learning Experiences: A Future Role For Librarians?

http://chronicle.com/img/photos/biz/ubiquitouslibrarian-45.pngBy Brian Mathews. A few weeks ago I purchased a premium WordPress theme for my campus. This isn’t something I typically do, but it fit nicely with an initiative I am building around supporting new types of learning interactions. A professor I’m working with uses blogs in her courses but wanted to push the experience further. I’m hearing this more often as faculty express interest in a more flexible and personalized learning environment as opposed to the LMS model. Sakai, Blackboard, and similar tools are seen as utilities rather than virtual communities. More...

This Is Not a Book: Thomas Jefferson & Apple’s App Store

http://chronicle.com/img/photos/biz/profhacker-45.pngBy Prof. Hacker. Are you a reader? A student of America’s founding? Interested in book history? We have an app for that. And we would love to show it to you. But a funny thing happened on the way to the App Store: Apple has rejected it, multiple times. Our attempt to produce an app designed to let readers interact with facsimiles of rare documents — in this case, the first printed editions of Thomas Jefferson’s Notes on the State of Virginia, his only full-length book — is a story of great frustration for us, but, we hope, can be a cautionary tale for others who are thinking about the possibilities of developing educational and scholarly material for the iOS and the iPad.

Open Thread Wednesday: Best CV Formats

http://chronicle.com/img/photos/biz/profhacker-45.pngBy Anastasia Salter. Fall is already, abruptly, upon us. This is a time when many of us start to think about the job market, tenure review, and all sorts of other adventures on the horizon. If you are like me, your summer to-do list probably included more work than could possibly fit into a few months. One of the fall-preparation tasks I kept postponing is updating my CV. Every time I go to work on it, I feel like something bigger needs to be done: it’s time to format my CV so that it works well online while still fitting academic expectations. More...

Influx of Students From China Puts University to Unexpected Test

http://chronicle.com/img/photos/biz/worldwise-45.pngBy Karin Fischer. When I met her, Cambria Sobolewski had just gotten her first passport. The Michigan State University student grew up a couple of hours from Canada, in Muskegon, Mich., yet had never been across the border. That might make Ms. Sobolewski seem like an odd choice to interview for an article I wrote about the first-year college experience of Chinese students. But a significant share of the students on the floor where she served as a resident assistant were Chinese. And this past spring Ms. Sobolewski was getting on a plane for the first time—to Beijing.

Russian Science Isn’t Dying, It’s Coming of Age

http://chronicle.com/img/photos/biz/worldwise-45.pngBy Marilyn Pifer. It’s been a hot summer in Moscow, at least under the collars of Russian scientists. In late May, the Russian Academy of Sciences—a venerable institution established by Peter the Great nearly 300 years ago—elected its first new president in 22 years, Vladimir Fortov, a former science minister. Fortov ran on a platform of reform, declaring the academy “ready for change.” Given that the average age of members of the academy exceeds the average life expectancy of Russian men by more than 10 years, it would seem the academy needs changing, ready or not.

Oy, red lines again. More...

Lessons Learned From a Freshman-Composition MOOC

http://chronicle.com/img/photos/biz/wiredcampus-45.pngBy Karen Head. Since our MOOC, “First-Year Composition 2.0,” officially ended in late July, I have been asked many times whether the course was a success.  My standard response is, “Define success.” A little background: Our group received a grant from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation to develop a MOOC in freshman composition, a subject rarely taught in such a format. Starting in January, we spent a few months working through pedagogical and technology-related issues before finally rolling out the course in June. More...

From Kafka to Computers, a Graphic History of Automation in Education

http://chronicle.com/img/photos/biz/wiredcampus-45.pngBy Megan O'Neil.s the debate about the role of technology in education builds, two California community-college professors have published their own commentary on the automation of teaching—in the form of an illustrated comic.
Adam Bessie and Arthur King, who teach English and studio and computer arts, respectively, at Diablo Valley College, have weighed in with a piece of graphic journalism titled “Automated Teaching Machine: A Graphic Introduction to the End of Human Teachers”. More...
