We want to explore and bridge the conversations about learning that are common to these worlds, including: learning theory, learning practice, learning science, learning space design, and technology for learning.

Ils ont aujourd'hui 16 ans. L'ensemble de leur scolarité s'est faite dans l'ombre et la lumière du numérique.

Apple, Facebook et Google décident seuls et en fonction de leurs seuls critères ce qui est publiable et ce qui ne l'est pas, invoquant le plus souvent le motif de "nudité" ou de "pornographie", et l'appliquant, par exemple, à la fermeture du compte d'un internbaute ayant osé choisir "l'origine du monde" de Courbet comme photo de profil.
