Bell Leads on Radical Proposal for CRTC-Backed Mandatory Website Blocking System

Bell Leads on Radical Proposal for CRTC-Backed Mandatory Website Blocking System
Michael Geist, 2017/12/06
Michael Geist has a couple of posts on "a coalition that plans to file a proposal with the CRTC that would lead to the creation a mandatory website blocking system in Canada." It would be run not by the courts but by "a new “Internet Piracy Review Agency”, envisions the creation of mandatory block lists without judicial review to be enforced by the CRTC." This is a bad idea, he writes, for several reasons, not the least of which is that the purpose of such a blocking mechanism would evolve from obvious cases. More...

Majority of Australians say online privacy beyond their control

Majority of Australians say online privacy beyond their control
University of Sydney, 2017/12/07
This feels like my sense of it too. "The findings, published in a report launched today (74 page PDF), show 67 percent of Australians take steps to protect their privacy online, but only 38 percent feel in control." Our hopes appear to be beyond our grasp. More...

How Canada has emerged as a leader in artificial intelligence

How Canada has emerged as a leader in artificial intelligence
Michael Smith, University Affairs, 2017/12/07
The question of 'how' is pretty easily answered: we invested in reserach. "This past spring, Ottawa might have made its best bet yet with the $125 million it has set aside over the next five years for a Pan-Canadian Artificial Intelligence Strategy.. More...

These Technologies Will Shape The Future, According To One of Silicon Valley’s Top VC Firms
Daniel Terdiman, Fast Company, 2017/12/07
Summary of a talk by Andreessen Horowitz analyst Benedict Evans. The four technologies are autonomy, mixed-reality, cryptocurrencies, and artificial intelligence. But more interesting is some of the discussion around these, and especially the commentary on 'S-curves' which track the adoption of new technologies. More...

IEEE Consortium Established To Support The Development Of Learning Engineering

IEEE Consortium Established To Support The Development Of Learning Engineering
IEEE IC Industry Consortium on Learning Engineering, 2017/12/08
The vote to launch this was taken just a couple weeks ago and mine was the sole vote against, this based solely on the name, which I think is a bad idea. The engineers are getting far ahead of the theory in e-learning, and as a result, we're getting solutions thta are inappropriate. More...

Hitting Reset, Knewton Tries New Strategy: Competing With Textbook Publishers

Hitting Reset, Knewton Tries New Strategy: Competing With Textbook Publishers
Jeffrey R. Young, EdSurge, 2017/12/08
Remember Knewton? Pundits loved it. It positioned itself as "the world’s leading adaptive learning technology provider with the mission of bringing personalized education to the world" and drew some $157 million in funding. Now they're executing a pivot "along with mounting criticism that its founding CEO, Jose Ferreira, overhyped its technology." Now the company is trying to compete with publishers. More...

A Cengage Buffet

A Cengage Buffet
Lindsay McKenzie, Inside Higher Ed, 2017/12/08
"The new offer, called Cengage Unlimited, will give students access to more than 20,000 Cengage products across 70 disciplines and 675 course areas for $119.99 a semester." That's more than twice what the going rate has been, so I'm expecting this price to drop quickly. But it reflects a trend that we've seen in other industries - mustic, for examplem with Spotify, or video with Netflix. More...

Towards an Ethical Framework for #OpenRecognition

Towards an Ethical Framework for #OpenRecognition
Serge Ravet, Learning Futures, 2017/12/08
This is an intelligent and well-thought out account of the ethical implications of open badges. Open badges can be used for good, or they can be used to perpetuate discrimination or to reify the advantages of an already privileged group. "Open Badges are not innocuous," writes Serge Ravet. More...
