CRANACH DIGITAL ARCHIVE. MIT Mints a Valuable New Form of Academic Currency - Commentary. By Kevin Carey The Massachusetts Institute of Technology has invented or improved many world-changing things—radar, information theory, and synthetic self-replicating molecules, to name a few.

MIT Mints a Valuable New Form of Academic Currency - Commentary

Last month the university announced, to mild fanfare, an invention that could be similarly transformative, this time for higher education itself. It's called MITx. In that small lowercase letter, a great deal is contained. MITx is the next big step in the open-educational-resources movement that MIT helped start in 2001, when it began putting its course lecture notes, videos, and exams online, where anyone in the world could use them at no cost. Meanwhile, the university experimented with using online tools to help improve the learning experience for its own students in Cambridge, Mass.

In doing this, MIT has cracked one of the fundamental problems retarding the growth of free online higher education as a force for human progress. MIT is particularly well suited to manage that dilemma. Open Access Map. Citations - Depending on the type of web based material, there are different ways to cite.

See below for citing a nonperiodical web page. You may use the MLA Handbook for Writers of Research Papers to see all the different ways to cite different web materials (Section 5.6). OWL at Purdue has also created this guide to MLA's web citations: If you would like to cite a web site, you will need to include similar information to citing a book: author, publisher, web page title, version, date of publication, date of access, and medium -- in this case Web is the medium. Academia.edu – $4.5M in Funding, 3M Unique Monthly Visitors – Can They Change Science Publication? Don’t call it “Facebook for Scientists” – it’s not about socializing, it’s about knowledge.

Academia.edu – $4.5M in Funding, 3M Unique Monthly Visitors – Can They Change Science Publication?

Academia.edu may appear to be a social network, but it’s actually focused on allowing scholars all over the world to publish their research papers and easily distribute them to anybody with a search engine. Academia.edu also meticulously tracks web traffic for each paper, generating hoards of statistics about who is reading what and when. This one-two combination of distribution and analysis makes Academia.edu a potent new force in research, and a growing presence among scholars all over the globe.

The site has tripled in size this year reaching 800,000 registered users and more than 3 million unique monthly visitors. 2500 academic papers are posted and 3500 new scholars join every day! On top of that success, Academia.edu has just announced a breakthrough round of funding, attracting $4.5 million from investors including Spark Capital and True Ventures. Academia.edu helps change that. Wittgenstein Source - Home. Ma lecture de l’Etude OCLC sur les métadonnées sociales [Volet 1]

Statistical methods include the sampling of the sales ranking of randomly selected books from each press.

Associate professor Anne Trubek argues that handwriting will soon be history, because writing words by hand is a technology that’s just too slow for our times, and our minds.

Why Handwriting Must Die

A copy-paste summary from her essay: “Handwriting has been around for just 6,000 of humanity’s some 200,000 years. Its effects have been enormous, of course: It alters the brain, changes with civilizations, cultures and factions, and plays a role in religious and political battles.” “Most of us know, but often forget, that handwriting is not natural. We are not born to do it. “Proclaiming the virtuousness of one way of forming a “j” over others is a trope that occurs throughout handwriting’s history. Academic publishers make Murdoch look like a socialist. Who are the most ruthless capitalists in the western world?

Academic publishers make Murdoch look like a socialist

Whose monopolistic practices make Walmart look like a corner shop and Rupert Murdoch a socialist? You won't guess the answer in a month of Sundays. While there are plenty of candidates, my vote goes not to the banks, the oil companies or the health insurers, but – wait for it – to academic publishers.

Google Scholar Citations

Some of you already track your citation metrics by regularly looking up your articles in Google Scholar. Many of you have asked us for an easier way to do this. Today we’re introducing Google Scholar Citations: a simple way for you to compute your citation metrics and track them over time. We use a statistical model based on author names, bibliographic data, and article content to group articles likely written by the same author.

You can quickly identify your articles using these groups. You can enable automatic addition of your newly published articles to your profile. You can also create a public profile with your articles and citation metrics (e.g., Alex Verstak, Anurag Acharya). Google Scholar Citations is currently in limited launch with a small number of users. Média social d'enseignement et de recherche. PLoS ONE : accelerating the publication of peer-reviewed science.

Visualizing what is happening. Going through an older post in the MoM’s blog referring to Walter’s Ong book “Orality and Literacy”, I discovered a term referring to a new “hybrid form” of culture that has spread on the internet: The Secondary Orality. The term is emphasizing the “re-emergence of an oral type of discourse within literate cultures which is fostering a communal sense and is mostly concentrated on the present moment”. In that sense, platforms of mediated communication, and in particular Twitter, are combining the narrative structure of oral discoursive forms that tend to highlight and enhance the memorability of a discourse, with certain characteristics and cognitive processes that evolved with the written discourse .

I found the term Secondary Orality an interesting source of inspiration when trying to understand and evaluate discussions on Twitter. Ce que le blog apporte à la science. Volumique.
