Click here . The version that follows below is the original (uncorrected) version). Yet another article, describing new forms of knowledge as probablistic , has crossed my desk today, and consequently it seems appropriate at this time to type a few words on the nature of distributed knowledge. It should go without saying that these are my own thoughts, and this discussion should not therefore be considered an authoritative reference on the subject. a. You probably grew up learning that there are two major types of knowledge: qualitative and quantitative. Distributed knowledge adds a third major category to this domain, knowledge that could be described as connective. This is more than just the existence of a relation between one entity and another; it implies interaction. Probabilistic knowledge is a type of quantitative knowledge. b. c. d. e. f. g.

Empowering Next Generation Teaching The Sloan Consortium, MERLOT, and our Emerging Technologies steering committee welcome you to the 7th Annual Emerging Technologies for Online Learning International Symposium (ET4Online), which will be held in Dallas, TX on April 9-11, 2014. This year, we move the conference to Dallas, a central location for those of you located in North America, which also provides an opportunity to visit the birthplace of the integrated computer circuit which made the information age possible. As we prepare to convene in the cradle of the digital era, it seems hard to believe that how swiftly society has been transformed by emerging technologies. More than half of U.S. adults have become smartphone owners in just over six years, allowing most of us to stay connected, seek answers to our pressing questions, document our surroundings in photographs, record video, and share these media files instantly with a global audience -- from anywhere at anytime. We’ll see y’all in Dallas!
Languages in a Global World: Learning for Better Cultural Understanding EDUCERI › Languages in a Global World: Learning for Better Cultural Understanding Executive summary | Table of contents | Blogs | How to obtain this publication This book addresses language diversity around the world and its relation to education and culture. In this time of globalisation, language learning is central to politics, economics, history, and most obviously education. This book questions why some individuals are more successful than others at learning non-native languages, and why some education systems, or countries, are more successful than others at teaching languages. The book’s structure is designed with chapters written by different authors on the subject of language learning. This enlightening book clearly recognises that language learning intertwines with future concerns that society will need to address. Executive summary In our globalised world, language competencies are increasingly important. NNL learning is a challenge for many individuals and countries. Part I.
ProfHacker I’ve never been one to make use of slide-based presentations when I teach or when I present at conferences or other events. Why?

Of course, I realize that another word for “complicated” is “sophisticated” or “powerful,” and PowerPoint allows a presenter to do all kinds of advanced things. However, if I want to create a simple slide deck for a presentation, I find the interf… [This is a guest post by Caro Pinto, the John Hay Whitney Family Papers Processing Archivist at Yale University Library. Many archivists spend their professional lives working in basements preparing diaries, letters, and photographs for use by students and faculty. Many people have developed a quasi-instinctive shudder at the mention of PowerPoint.
