FlARToolkit Tutorial. Digital Britain matters to adult learning. NIACE's lead on Media Literacy - Rachel Thomson - discusses why the government's Digital Britain White Paper matters to adult learning policy: NIACE's research into media literacy over many years demonstrates the clear correlations between the learning poor, the digitally poor and the economically poor, yet most existing work on media literacy has focused on the needs of children, schools and teachers. Lord Carter's report crucially helps to redress this balance, in a number of ways.
In the report, there are important proposals about "tubes and pipes" - strengthening the UK's communications infrastructure capabilities; the growth of our creative industries; legal and regulatory frameworks to tackle piracy; the future of public service broadcasting; and frameworks for digital safety and security. With respect to a national plan for digital participation, the term ‘media literacy' has been abandoned and ‘digital participation' takes its place.
Digital Britain Final Report ... Democracy and Education : an Introduction to the Philosophy of Education / by John Dewey. O'Reilly Open Books Project. O'Reilly has published a number of Open Books--books with various forms of "open" copyright--over the years. The reasons for "opening" copyright, as well as the specific license agreements under which they are opened, are as varied as our authors.
Perhaps a book was outdated enough to be put out of print, yet some people still needed the information it covered. Or the author or subject of a book felt strongly that it should be published under a particular open copyright. Maybe the book was written collectively by a particular community, as in the case of our Community Press books.
But there's more to making Open Books available online than simply adopting an open license or giving up rights granted under copyright law. The print books need to be converted to a digital format so that they're accessible via the web. While the books listed here use various open licenses, since 2003 we've focused on using the licenses created by Creative Commons.
