Open textbook An open textbook is a textbook licensed under an open copyright license, and made available online to be freely used by students, teachers and members of the public. Many open textbooks are distributed in either print, e-book, or audio formats that may be downloaded or purchased at little or no cost.[1] Part of the broader open educational resources movement,[2][3] open textbooks increasingly are seen as a solution to challenges with traditionally published textbooks, such as access and affordability concerns.[4] Open textbooks were identified in the New Media Consortium's 2010 Horizon Report as a component of the rapidly progressing adoption of open content in higher education.[5] Usage rights[edit] The defining difference between open textbooks and traditional textbooks is that the copyright permissions on open textbooks allow the public to freely use, adapt and distribute the material. Open licenses[edit] Some examples of open licenses are: Affordability[edit] Higher education[edit]
Somos Anonymous · ELPAÍS.com Este es su lema: "Somos una legión, no perdonamos, no olvidamos, espéranos. Anonymous". Así es como cierra sus anuncios y comunicados este movimiento sin líderes y sin portavoces, con voz, pero sin cara. En Anonymous sería imposible que se produjera un infiltrado, aseguran, porque no hay líderes "La mayor parte de los 'anonymous' no son 'hackers', son usuarios de Internet como cualquiera", dice uno Todo apunta a que sus miembros consideran más que superada la vieja dialéctica izquierda-derecha En España, Anonymous cuenta con una base de entre 1000 y 2000 personas, con distinto nivel de compromiso Anonymous está en su momento. Woolwich, a 45 minutos del centro de Londres, exteriores de la Real Corte de Justicia. Magnonymous es uno más, no es portavoz de nadie, y menos de un movimiento que no quiere portavoces, como se apresuran a decir todos los miembros de Anonymous apenas empiezan a hablar con un periodista. No todos los miembros de Anonymous son hackers, no. Pregunta. Respuesta. . P. R.
Journal of Information Architecture How a Science Journalist Created a Data Visualization to Show the Magnitude of the Haiti Earthquake On the one year anniversary of the Haiti earthquake, journalist Peter Aldhous created a data visualization that shows how the Carribean country’s relatively low seismic earthquake had as many fatalities as all but one earthquake over a time span of almost 40 years. The data visualization is striking but also a study in how journalists are increasingly telling stories that leverage datasets that are freely available to the public. Peter Aldhous, San Francisco Bureau Chief for New Scientist magazine, created the interactive graphics. We asked him to explain how he created the visualizations which compare seismic activity to fatalities caused by earthquakes over the span of four decades. Aldhous posted the data visualizations on his Web site with the following explanation: The earthquake that struck near the Haitian capital, Port-au-Prince, on 12 January 2010, was unremarkable in seismic terms — barely making the year’s top 20 most powerful quakes. The bar graph marks fatalities. dev.off()

Visualisation Insights #4: Visual Thinker This is the fourth article in my Visualisation Insights series. The purpose of this series is to provide readers with unique insights into the field of visualisation from the different perspectives of those in the roles of designer, practitioner, academic, blogger, journalist and all sorts of other visual thinkers. My aim is to bring together these interviews to create a greater understanding and appreciation of the challenges, approaches and solutions emerging from these people – the visualisation world’s cast and crew. Carlos Gamez Kindelan is a talented Visual Thinker based in Madrid. I approached Carlos to do an interview for this article for two main reasons. Hi Carlos, can you start off by explaining what lainformacion.com is? It is a new journalistic media that works exclusively in the digital environment. Can you describe the graphics department at lainformacion – where you are based, how many people work in your team, what are the different job roles etc.? What was your “aha!”
Horoscoped Do horoscopes really all just say the same thing? We scraped & analysed 22,000 to see. See our completed meta-horoscope chart and make up your own mind. We’ve also created a single meta-prediction out of the most common words.. How do you gather 22,000 horoscopes? Yahoo Shine kindly archive their daily predictions in a simple and very hackable format (example). Well, it’s not quite that easy. We can’t share the 9.5MB spreadsheet with you because it’s Yahoo’s copyright. So every different type of horoscope got sucked up – career, teen, love, daily overview. We used an online tool called TagCrowd to find the most common words. So we broke down the most common 50 words to see if there are any patterns of unique words. You can see the full data in a Google spreadsheet here. It struck me that several words in the top 50 – like “someone”, “really”, “quite” – were just qualifiers and not really that revealing. One more thing though.
