Displacement can be the shift in location from a country, a city or a family. All of these aspects come to life when Aliya and her daughter choose to move to rural New South Wales in Jumaana Abdu's debut novel ‘Translations'.The pieces of our lives, the influences and experiences, are like a mosaic joining together to make a whole that may be stranger than we imagine. This is evident in 'Mural' by Stephen Downes where a madman reveals the forces that may have shaped him. 

  Stephen Downes is a prominent speaker and writer in the field of educational technology and learning, known for his work on open educational resources, digital learning, and the development of the MOOC (massive open online course). He's currently a researcher at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education at the University of Toronto. Downes sees three current technologies as being critical for the development of online education; metaverse, blockchain and AI. But rather than making airy pronouncements in clickbait blog posts about this techno-troika, he has thought hard about how they operate together, creating a possible future for online education. But in this new distributed, learner-driven world, will we still need universities?   0:00 - Intro 3:53 - The MOOCs of today 8:04 - Physical state of the brain 13:28 - The Metaverse 32:32 - Blockchain 38:57 - Artificial Intelligence 56:02 - What the university looks like in the future?

Bestselling author Stephen Downes joins me to discuss 70s sci-fi curio Star Maidens. This much overlooked British-German co production is often dismissed as campy nonsense but is there more to the story of the planet Medusa and its female rulers?

Free online courses have become big business in recent years, offered by companies that work to upsell learners to paid products. But that's not how they started out. Stephen Downes, a pioneer of open online education, argues for eliminating things like free registration to get to free course materials, to better spread the ideas.

*Strategie per il Futuro: #9 Imparare le Fondamenta*A scuola e poi all'università lo studio è concentrato su materie e argomenti di cui solo una piccola parte (fatta eccezione per lettura, scrittura e aritmetica) è realmente decisiva ed utile per la vita e per il mondo che ci aspetta là fuori.Le materie e gli argomenti più vitali e critici per vivere bene la vita (ad esempio il conoscere approfonditamente il corpo umano e il suo funzionamento) sono quasi totalmente assenti dai curriculum accademici classici.Per questi motivi sono rimasto subito affascinato, quando nei primi anni 2000 ho scoperto un testo del Prof. Stephen Downes che tentava di individuare quali fra gli argomenti che non si studiano a scuola sono veramente importanti nel poter vivere bene la propria vita (vedi: http://it.masternewmedia.org/2006/10/12/come_avere_successo_le_dieci.htm).Ispirato da quanto aveva scritto Stephen Downes ho pian piano, negli anni, cercato di approfondire e individuare - dal mio punto di vista - quali fossero realmente le materie e gli argomenti, che mi sarebbe stato realmente utile apprendere durante gli anni spesi dentro aule scolastiche.1) Salute La storia della medicina naturale e di quella allopatica. Come curarsi da soli senza farmaci.2) Corpo UmanoConoscere se stessi e il funzionamento del proprio corpo. Il meccanismo della crescita, come il corpo ripara e cura se stesso, movimenti ed esercizi per mantenerlo in forma. 3) NutrizioneComprendere a fondo i differenti tipi di alimenti, sostanze, e il loro ruolo nell'organismo. Vitamine, minerali, amino-acidi, ormoni.4) ComunicazioneCome comunicare in maniera efficace. In persona, online, ad eventi, in esami, in situazioni di lavoro, etc.5) AscoltoSviluppare la capacità di sentire oltre le parole espresse e di sapersi mettere nei panni di altri. 6) Manualità pratica Saper costruire, aggiustare, riparare con le proprie mani e con semplici attrezzi.7) CreativitàColtivare pratiche, esercizi e tecniche che aiutano a sviluppare progressivamente la propria immaginazione e creatività.8) Pensiero CriticoSaper analizzare in maniera critica fatti e notizie. Saper analizzare e comparare fonti e pareri diversi, e saper riconoscere autorevolezza e credibilità da persuasione e propaganda.9) Pronto SoccorsoEssere in grado di poter prestare aiuto ad altri esseri umani in situazioni di emergenza e senza l'ausilio di strumenti e attrezzature particolari. Conoscere procedure, tecniche e metodi pratici di pronto soccorso per le situazioni più comuni.Non ritengo questa essere una lista esaustiva. E' un punto di partenza, uno spunto, un invito a rifletterci sopra. Mi sarebbe piaciuto aver potuto studiare questi argomenti prima e avrei preferito non dedicare così tanto tempo seduto in un banco a memorizzare cose che non solo non mi interessavano ma che si sono state - osservo a posteriori - di scarsissimo aiuto nella mia vita personale e imprenditoriale. Propongo che in futuro si possa pensare ad un modo diverso di educare ed apprendere, dove le materie principe siano maggiormente connesse alla vita e ai suoi aspetti fondamentali, e dove gli studenti possano collaborare fra di loro e con chi è più esperto di loro nell'apprendere ciò che veramente li interessa ed appassiona.Per approfondire l'argomento ti suggerisco di leggere:"Cosa Serve Davvero Imparare per Avere Successo nella Vita"http://it.masternewmedia.org/cosa-imparare-per-avere-successo-vita-p1http://it.masternewmedia.org/cosa-imparare-per-avere-successo-vita-p2http://it.masternewmedia.org/cosa-imparare-per-avere-successo-vita-p3http://it.masternewmedia.org/cosa-imparare-per-avere-successo-vita-p4http://it.masternewmedia.org/cosa-imparare-per-avere-successo-vita-p5"Education: Do We Really Need Schools Or Do We Need To Better Understand What Education Should Really Be?"https://www.masternewmedia.org/news/2007/09/29/education_do_we_really_need.htm"Paradosso del Web 2.0: Insegnare E' Uguale ad Imparare?"http://it.masternewmedia.org/2009/04/03/il_paradosso_del_web_20_-_parte.htm-------------Info Utili• Musica di questa puntata: "Adventure Is Calling" by Vens Adams - disponibile su UpBeat:https://uppbeat.io/track/vens-adams/adventure-is-calling• Dammi feedback:critiche, commenti, suggerimenti, idee e domande unendoti al gruppo Telegram https://t.me/@RobinGoodPodcastFeedback• Ascolta e condividi questo podcast:https://gopod.me/RobinGood• Diventa sostenitore:sostieni il lavoro di Robin Good e tutti i contenuti e risorse utili che condivide costantementehttps://robingood.com/patreon-sharewood-community-campus https://Patreon.com/Robin_Good • Seguimi su Telegram:https://t.me/RobinGoodItalia (tutti i miei contenuti, immagini, audio e video in un solo canale)oppure su:https://facebook.com/RobinGoodItalia/ https://instagram.com/robingooditalia• Newsletter:http://robingood.it/toptools-newsletter • Per info e richieste:mailto: Ludovica.Scarfiotti@robingood.it

En el episodio de hoy hablaremos de dos innovadores de la tecnología instruccional en la Educacion a Distancia. Estos son Stephen Downes y George Siemens, los creadores de los MOOC

By the late 2000s though, with the advent of greater connectivity, user-generated content, and social media, a number of educators began to explore the possibilities of education in a more networked, connected model that had these new developments as core assumptions. The theory of connectivism, as proposed by George Siemens and Stephen Downes in 2004–2005, could lay claim to being the first Internet-native learning theory. Chapter read by Terry Greene.

Last Steptember, this show focussed on a research paper titled 'The Paradoxical Extinction of the Most Charismatic Animals', which noted that the population of virtual animals in our world was giving people a mistaken impression about the real number of those animals in the wild. One of the paper's concluding suggestions was that advertisers using animal images should contribute funds towards their conservation. A Sydney-based production company has now helped create exactly such an initiative. Executive producer and founder of FINCH Rob Galluzo, who, along with filmmaker Christopher Nelius, co-founded The Lion's Share Fund speaks to Reema Rattan and a guest from the previous show on the topic, Stephen Downes, about how idea evolved and how the initiative works.

Should companies and advertisers using images and other likenesses of what are sometimes referred to as 'charismatic animals' pay for efforts towards their conservation? To explore this proposal, Communication Mixdown talks with David Watson, professor of ecology in the  School of Environmental Sciences at Charles Sturt University and Stephen Downes, specialist in marketing and brand strategy at RMIT University, aka Parrot of the Day.

Die vieldiskutierten "Massive Open Online Courses" (MOOCs) verbreiten sich zunehmend auch in Deutschland. Im April 2014 veranstaltete der Stifterverband für die deutsche Wissenschaft eine "MOOC-Woche", bei der Experten zum Thema zu Wort kamen. MOOCs sind dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass sie eine hohe Teilnehmerzahl haben, dass sie für alle Personenkreise offen stehen bzw. häufig kostenlos sind und dass sie als webbasierte Lehrveranstaltung stattfinden. Die Forschung zu MOOCs steckt noch in den Kinderschuhen. Aspekte die punktuell beforscht werden sind der Lernerfolg und die Lernerfahrungen der Studierenden, die Gestaltung der Lernumgebung, die Unterstützung von Lehrenden und Lernenden in der Bedienung, Kosten und Ertrag von MOOCs, hochschulpolitisch-systemische Fragestellungen sowie alternative Formate und die Integration von MOOC-Plattformen mit bestehenden LMS-Systemen. Die Veranstaltung zu "MOOC-Research" beleuchtete Ansätze und Methoden, mit deren Hilfe das MOOC-Format aktuell beforscht wird und in Zukunft beforscht werden kann. Zudem soll anhand der Forschungsergebnisse aus dem angloamerikanischen Raum diskutiert werden, welcher Bedarf hierzulande für eine MOOC-spezifische Forschung besteht und welche existierenden Forschungsstränge mit Bezug zur Thematik bereits bestehen. Das Online-Event fand auf Englisch statt. Referent des Online-Events war der Kanadier Stephen Downes, der als Erfinder des MOOC gilt und angekündigt hat, "to throw in a few wrinkles that will make the session interesting". Stephen Downes ist Senior Researcher am kanadischen National Research Council und hat sich international als Experte rund um das Thema virtuelles Lernen etabliert. Seine Schwerpunkte sind u.a. Online-Lernen, Neue Medien, Pädagogik und Philosophie. Auf seiner Internetseite www.downes.ca veröffentlicht er seit 1995 Vorträge und Fachartikel. Sein Online-Newsletter OLDaily hat Tausende von Abonnenten auf der ganzen Welt.
