Valider l’info sur Internet : des outils pour éduquer La maîtrise et l’évaluation de l’information sont, selon les termes d’Alexandre Serres, un « enjeu éducatif majeur », « une condition de survie » dans notre société. Heureusement, les ressources ne manquent pas pour relever le défi. Piéger ou éduquer, cette alternative a enflammé la toile. Fin mars, un article intitulé « Comment j’ai pourri le web » paru sur la vie moderne, un site créé par quatre enseignants est repris par Rue 89 dans une rubrique « témoignage » sous le titre « J’ai piégé le Net pour donner une bonne leçon à mes élèves ». Tous les débats, réactions… suscités par cette publication (1) prouvent bien qu’apprendre à évaluer et à valider l’information sur Internet est devenu essentiel. 1) L’article « Troll de prof qui sabote le net pour venger l’école » paru sur le site mediacteur en reprend l’essentiel et propose toutes une série de liens pour qui veut aller plus loin.

Is MOOMIS the answer? Moodle does a lot of things great, but site wide reporting and bulk user management are definitely not included in those great things. If you are a Moodle administrator for an organization I am sure you know the pain of having to go into each course site to produce grade reports for multiple courses. In my case, I have to send out a weekly report listing every users grades in every course they have taken on Moodle. This means I have to go into each course site and export a grade report to an excel spreadsheet and then merge all of those separate spreadsheets into one big grade report. To complicate things even more, I have to maintain separate groups within each course site so that users can be sorted by position or location. What is MOOMIS? Communication - Moodle already has messaging and email capabilities but it's nothing special. Before diving in and installing MOOMIS so that I could take it for a spin I thought it was going to be the answer to all my problems. Resources:

Il a ensuite fait le point sur les réformes des dix dernières années : la loi LRU a été votée en 2007. La LRU s'inscrit dans le cadre de la LOLF (2001), qui a profondément réformé la manière dont on votait les budgets. Dans ce contexte, les PRES ont été créés : il s'agissait de favoriser des rapprochements pour la recherche. Actuellement, les universités se trouvent dans ce qu'on pourrait appeler l'acte de 2 de la loi LRU. Une autre modification d'importance a consisté dans le fait que les budgets ne sont plus fléchés. L'ADBU s'était prononcée en faveur de la LRU.
