Université : vers de nouveaux entrepôts de cours ouverts
Le programme Open CourseWare (Wikipédia) du Massachusetts Institute of Technology, lancé en 2001 et ouvert en 2003 a été un modèle imité depuis par de nombreuses universités de par le monde – et non des moindres. Ce sont désormais plus de 200 universités et plus de 13 000 cours qui sont librement accessibles en ligne via le consortium Open CourseWare, comme s’en félicitait le MIT en avril dernier en fêtant les 10 ans de son programme. Reste que pour l’essentiel, ce matériel se compose de vidéos, de présentations et de textes. S’il est un répertoire de connaissance sans égal, il ne permet pas d’acquérir de diplômes et propose rarement des exercices interactifs pour mieux appréhender les notions que les professeurs dispensent. Est-ce que cela serait en train de changer ? Le 10 octobre, Peter Norvig et Sebastian Thrun, deux spécialistes de l’intelligence artificielle de l’université de Stanford, vont se lancer dans une nouvelle forme de cours gratuits en ligne.
20 questions (and answers) about MOOCs « Dave's Educational Blog
I was asked by the excellent Sheryl Nussbaum-Beach to speak to her PLP class about MOOCs, and, while we had what i thought was an excellent forty minute chat, there were tons of comments that i never had the chance to address. As i look over the questions they asked, I see that in answering their questions i have a chance to lay out many of the thoughts that I have had about MOOCs while they have been all the rage here on the internet in the last few weeks. I opened the discussion with a quick personal intro to my contribution to the MOOC discussion and then we moved to Q & A. Feel free to skim along and pick up the part of the discussion that interests you. Intro Edtechtalk and community – 2005 In 2005 Jeff Lebow and I started edtechtalk. What i discovered was that, simply by engaging in random discussions with new people we happened upon – I was learning. Rhizomes 2006 This lead me to new ideas about what it meant to learn and what it meant to know. Q & A. I see it as a win.

Readings in Social Media 2013 - Serendipity35
This will be the fourth summer that I will teach my graduate class in designing social media. Every year, I have asked online for suggestions of book (not usually "textbooks") for the class which is part of the MS in Professional and Technical Communication at NJIT . Students in the PTC program tend to be (or intend to be) designers, technical writers, media & social media managers, but I always get a few students from the management, communications, media, IT and design majors. The course examines how organizations use social media as communication tools for marketing, education & training and community building and students do social media surveys and create strategy proposals for actual organizations. Making the reading selection process itself a social media project seems appropriate. Books and readings in social media go out of date so quickly that it seems foolish to rely on a traditional textbook. I am also a proponent of Open Educational Resources, especially open textbooks.
Arduino Robot : Une plate-forme officielle Arduino dédié à la robotique
Lors de la Maker Faire de San Mateo, l’équipe Arduino a présenté sa nouvelle plate-forme dédié à la robotique, l’Arduino Robot. Ce robot a été conçu en collaboration avec Complubot qui ont été quatre fois champion de la Robocup Junior Robotics Soccer. Bref, Arduino Robot est la première carte Arduino dotée de roues pour pouvoir explorer le monde. L’Arduino Robot est composé de deux cartes qui dispose chacune d’un micro-contrôleur ATMEGA32U4 et peut ainsi interagir d’une manière autonome avec leurs capteurs et actionneurs. Control Board La carte Control Board est la partie dédiée à la commande du robot, on y retrouve : Un micro-contreur Atmel ATMega32U4 cadencé à 16 MHzUne zone pour recevoir un afficheur TFT ( comme l’Esplora) et slot micro-SDUn haut-parleurUne EEPROM de 512 KBits en I2CUn potentiomètreUne boussole magnétiqueDes connecteurs et des zones de prototypages Motor Board Il s’agit de la carte dédié à la partie motorisation et alimentation, on retrouve :
Working with Google Drive
Please note: this page reflects operations in MindMup 1.0. Version 2.0 only works with Google Drive, and supports collaboration out of the box. For information on connecting the 2.0 version to Google drive, and transferring maps from 1.0 to 2.0, see MindMup 2.0 For Google Drive Migration guide. Google Drive is a cloud storage from Google that you can use to store and manage private maps, or collaborate with colleagues and friends in a controlled environment. Prerequisites You will need a Google account to store files to Drive. MindMup does not need to know any particular details about your Google account and when working with Drive, the data passes from your browser to Drive directly, without going to our servers. Getting started The first time you try to save a map to Google Drive, or to open a map stored on Google Drive by someone else, MindMup will ask you to authorise access to your Drive. The operation you started (saving or loading) will now continue. Saving Maps to Google Drive
