Global education rankings to measure tolerance

Global education rankings to measure tolerance
Sean Coughlan, BBC News, 2017/12/20
According to this report, the OECD's Program for International Student Assessment (PISA) will be testing students' "global competence" in the next round of evaluations. "It's intended to find out how well young people can understand other people's views and cultures, how they can look beyond the partisan echo chamber of social media and distinguish reliable evidence from fake news." The tests, and the results, could be controversial. More...

A Field Guide to 'jobs that don't exist yet'

A Field Guide to 'jobs that don't exist yet'
Benjamin Doxtdator, A Long View on Education, 2017/12/20
I found this article via the most recent of Audrey Watters's posts summarizing 2017. It traces the origin of the claim that "We are currently preparing students for jobs that don’t exist yet, using technologies that haven’t been invented, in order to solve problems we don’t even know are problems yet.” It also attempts to debunk it. The claim appears to have its origin in a Bill Clinton speech in 1996. More...

Is Wikipedia a Trustworthy Academic Resource? Scientists Think So

Is Wikipedia a Trustworthy Academic Resource? Scientists Think So
Meghan Bogardus Cortez, EdTech, 2017/12/19
Though I have some issues with how it is managed and how it is produced, I still consider Wikipedia to be a valuable resource and one that I am quite willing to reference in my articles. And that's the point of this article: Wikipedia is useful to me because I'm sceptical, because I'm careful to read articles in the context of my own wider knowledge, and because I cite them as background, not authority. More...

Workflow Strategy for Those Left Behind

Workflow Strategy for Those Left Behind
Roger C. Schonfeld, The Scholarly Kitchen, 2017/12/19
This is a two part article (part one, part two) describing how the 'big two' (Elsevier and Digital Science) are in a race to create "an entirely new class of products, those that support research workflow for the sciences" and how this could "marginalize other publishers large and small." The case is well made. More...

We must do more now to prepare young people for the future of work

We must do more now to prepare young people for the future of work
Dave McKay, Globe and Mail, 2017/12/19
This is an op-ed from Dave McKay, president and CEO of Royal Bank of Canada. We are entering a skills revolution, he writes, but Canadian students are not being prepared for the future. We need "people who work well with technology and work well with people – that can be the Canadian difference." He touts an RBC program called Future Launch - actually started last March using a system called Talentlink. More...

Entrée en master : près de 1 000 étudiants sans réponse

Bilan plutôt mitigé pour la loi sur l’entrée en master. Adoptée le 23 décembre 2016, elle prévoit l’instauration d’une sélection pour la première année de master. Après une première application l’été dernier, sur les 170 000 inscrits en troisième année de licence en 2017, plusieurs milliers d’étudiants n’ont reçu aucune proposition de la part des universités pour entrer en master. Résultats : 3 300 étudiants ont saisi leur rectorat dans le cadre du droit à la poursuite d’étude. Plus...
