Deepak Chopra: A Message to the Future Leaders of the World (Part 1) By Deepak Chopra, MD, FACP From my commencement speech at Hartwick College Today as you celebrate this major milestone in your life and commence a new stage of your life journey, I ask you to reflect on the gift of life itself. And life, in essence, is nothing but awareness. Furthermore human life, considered the pinnacle of biological evolution, is not just awareness, but self-awareness. Amongst creatures on this planet, we human beings are not only aware; we have the capacity to be aware that we are aware, to be conscious of our consciousness. In that self-awareness lies our potential and power to direct our own future evolution and the future evolution of civilization. Biological evolution has been summed up in the phrase of “survival of the fittest,” but with overpopulation and over-consumption of resources, the future belongs to “survival of the wisest”.
Today’s age is frequently referred to as the Information Age. Www.deepakchopra.com. About The Licenses. Our public copyright licenses incorporate a unique and innovative “three-layer” design. Each license begins as a traditional legal tool, in the kind of language and text formats that most lawyers know and love. We call this the Legal Code layer of each license. But since most creators, educators, and scientists are not in fact lawyers, we also make the licenses available in a format that normal people can read — the Commons Deed (also known as the “human readable” version of the license).
The Commons Deed is a handy reference for licensors and licensees, summarizing and expressing some of the most important terms and conditions. The final layer of the license design recognizes that software, from search engines to office productivity to music editing, plays an enormous role in the creation, copying, discovery, and distribution of works. Searching for open content is an important function enabled by our approach. Opencontent. Defining the "Open" in Open Content and Open Educational Resources The terms "open content" and "open educational resources" describe any copyrightable work (traditionally excluding software, which is described by other terms like "open source") that is either (1) in the public domain or (2) licensed in a manner that provides everyone with free and perpetual permission to engage in the 5R activities: Legal Requirements and RestrictionsMake Open Content and OER Less Open While a free and perpetual grant of the 5R permissions by means of an "open license" qualifies a creative work to be described as open content or an open educational resource, many open licenses place requirements (e.g., mandating that derivative works adopt a certain license) and restrictions (e.g., prohibiting "commercial" use) on users as a condition of the grant of the 5R permissions.
Poor Technical Choices Make Open Content Less Open. Mozilla’s Open Badges Project: A New Way to Recognize Learning. Digital Tools The Boy Scout’s badges are something we’re all familiar with: accomplish a task, learn a craft, demonstrate a skill, and you’re awarded a badge. It’s a symbol of your achievement, and one that’s recognized and recognizable by others. The Mozilla Foundation and Peer-to-Peer University (P2PU), among others, are working to take the idea of merit-earned badges and build a framework around which they can be used as alternative but accepted forms of certification. The main premise behind this idea, the argument goes, is that the institutions and organizations traditionally responsible for accreditation no longer match the realities of what learning looks like today.
For example, holding a bachelor’s degree in computer science is not necessarily an indication that you’re skilled in JavaScript, that you are an experienced project manager, that you’ve contributed to an open source project, or that you work well with virtual teams. What skills should we assess? Related. How Mozilla’s Open Badges May Work In the Real World. Mozilla After 18 months in the darkness of beta world, Mozilla’s Open Badges project stepped out into the light recently with the unveiling of Open Badges 1.0. But will the concept of organizations bestowing their own virtual endorsements for the mastery of skills hold up to critical examination from a world that, even in an information economy, demands most of its skilled workers hold a framed degree? The list of more than 600 badge-creating and -designing partners would suggest so.
Especially when that list includes names familiar even to digital-phobes, like the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, multiple branches of the Smithsonian, NASA, and Disney-Pixar. Yet even Erin Knight, the Mozilla Foundation’s senior director of learning, concedes it may be a while before badges resonate the same as a resume to an admissions or recruiting office, even if badges have the potential to be more authentic and certifiable. Often, that credit isn’t needed for a graduation requirement.
