UCTV - University of California Television. The Internet Will Get a Peer Review Layer Next Year. A project lead by some of the most-respected leaders of the Internet has secured $240,000 in funding to build a prototype system for both expert and peer review of all the content on the web, sentence by sentence.

The Internet Will Get a Peer Review Layer Next Year

Called Hypothes.is, the project is lead by early search engine innovator and climate change activist Dan Whaley and backed by advisors from John Perry Barlow of the EFF to Garret Camp of StumbleUpon to Kaliya Hamlin of the Internet Identity Workshop to Nate Oostendorp of Slashdot, and many more. We wrote about the Hypothes.is fundraising effort on Kickstarter last month. That effort succeeded, including with a large matching pledge by cleantech and web venture capitalist Sunil Paul. And so Hypothes.is will be built. What do people want out of it and does it stand a chance to change the web? Hypothes.is is planned as a peer review system to check, verify and critique content all over the Web - and beyond. Open source, open standards.To the extent practical.

A TED 2011, Salman Khan est venu présenter la Khan Academy, une collection soigneusement structurée de plus de 2000 vidéos éducatives (voir la présentation vidéo avec sous-titres en français).

Peut-on apprendre en ligne

La Khan Academy connaît un succès notable avec quelques 1 millions de visiteurs par mois qui regardent entre 100 et 200 000 vidéos par jour, souligne son créateur. Salman Khan a commencé incidemment. Analyste financier pour un fonds de pension, il donnait des cours de math à distance à des cousins via l’internet et a décidé de mettre quelques leçons sur YouTube, plus comme complément aux cours qu’il leur donnait qu’autre chose.

Ses cousins ont été assez heureux d’avoir moins à le déranger pour accéder aux leçons et de pouvoir les suivre selon leur propre rythme. Petit à petit, les vidéos publiques sur YouTube ont rencontré succès et commentaires élogieux… Tant et si bien que quelques profs ont commencé à utiliser ces cours en vidéos comme devoir du soir et à proposer des exercices en classe.

Originally I had planned to do an update on TREMBLE, my SPU loop pipeliner and optimizer. I added some cool new features like multi-implementation odd/even pipeline balancing macros and a GUI for people to play around with. However, since I am pretty tied up with SIGGRAPH presentation issues at the moment, I am going to take the easy way out and write a short article on something very near and dear to my heart. We all know some programmer that knows nothing about math. If past experiences are indicators, we know him extremely well because he is us. Edhii.
