Hoy traemos, pasada la resaca de las fiestas un video de google video. Una entrevista a Edgard Morin sobre el modo de pensar y el cambio en la educación. Está en italiano especial mediterráneo(fr-ita-gnol, como dice el presentador), pero creo que se entiende bien.

Aquí tenéis un enlace a una entrevista que Martha Lagace hace a Karim Lakhani (su blog es: Spoudaiospaizen [Serious Play] Karim R. Lakhani’s Infrequent Musings:

Executive Summary:
Borrowing a practice that is common in the open source software community, HBS professor Karim R. Lakhani and colleagues decided to see how «broadcasting» might work among scientists trying to solve scientific problems. The results? Promising for many types of innovation, as he explains in this Q&A. Key concepts include:
- Practices in the open source software community offer a model for encouraging large-scale scientific problem solving.
- Open up your problem to other people in a systematic way. A problem may reside in one domain of expertise and the solution may reside in another.
- Find innovative licensing ways or legal regimes that allow people to share knowledge without risking the overall intellectual property of the firm.

Promising for many types of innovation, as he explains in this Q&A.
In a perfect world, scientists share problems and work together on solutions for the good of society. In the real world, however, that’s usually not the case. The main obstacles: competition for publication and intellectual property protection.
Is there a model for encouraging large-scale scientific problem solving? Yes, and it comes from an unexpected and unrelated corner of the universe: open source software development.
That’s the view of Karim R. Lakhani, an assistant professor at Harvard Business School with an extensive research background in open source software communities and their innovation and product development strategies. His latest research analyzes how open source norms of transparency, permeable access, and collaboration might work with scientists. (…)
Martha Lagace: Given your research background in open source software communities, how did you become interested in the world of scientific problem solving?
Karim R. Lakhani: Open source collaboration is a very different model for innovation and product development than most firms are used to. I began to wonder where we might see similar patterns occur outside the software domain. In open source communities we see a vast degree of openness in which everybody can participate, but also the practice of broadcasting your work to everybody else.(leer más…)

Lifelong Learning in the UK – Pre-Conference Forum at Online Educa Berlin
The United Kingdom has taken a leading role in promoting lifelong-learning opportunities to its citizens, resulting in a range of policies, experiences, and an infrastructure from which valuable lessons can be learned. In the following interview, Brian Merison, General Manager of the British Learning Association (BLA), explains some of the reasons and motivations behind British lifelong-learning policies. He also comments on recent projects and provides some interesting insights about the co-operation of institutions and governmental authorities in this matter. Additionally he gives his perspective on future developments.
What are the main reasons for governments to promote LLL initiatives? What is the motivation behind it?
LLL supports a number of national policies generally considered in terms of economic and social issues.
For the economy, one of the strengths of a country is the level of skills, knowledge, and expertise across the workforce, which will impact on productivity and output. Present-day economies are subject to profound changes both in technology and through competitive pressures brought on by globalisation. The resulting impact on organisations and the workforce means continuous updating of skills and expertise. Much has also been said about the ‘knowledge economy’, which means more emphasis on having access to up-to-date information and understanding and applying that knowledge in innovative ways. LLL is a vital component in the process of keeping the workforce up to date. (leer más…)

Tim Berners-Lee .En este post traemos, por dos vías, el anuncio de Web science. Estudiar las implicaciones sociales del desarrollo de la web:
1) La noticia en el New York Times:
Group of University Researchers to Make Web Science a Field of Study
The Web has become such a force in commerce and culture that a group of leading university researchers now deems it worthy of its own field of study.
The Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the University of Southampton in Britain plan to announce today that they are starting a joint research program in Web science.
Tim Berners-Lee, who invented the Web’s basic software, is leading the program. An Oxford-educated Englishman, Mr. Berners-Lee is a senior researcher at M.I.T., a professor at the University of Southampton and the director of the World Wide Web Consortium, an Internet standards-setting organization.

2) Una entrevista en BBC News
Web inventor Sir Tim Berners-Lee has said he wants to set up a web science research project to study the social implications of the web’s development.
BBC Science Correspondent Pallab Ghosh talked exclusively to the British web pioneer about his plans.
PG: What is web science?
TBL: Web science is a study of the web. It’s also the engineering of the web to make it more exciting than the one we currently have.
The nice thing about the internet is that it’s an open space which doesn’t have a central controlling place. It doesn’t have any constraining rules. I therefore tried to design the web in the same way – like a huge blank sheet of paper. And so the web in turn is giving rise to all these other phenomena.(leer más…)

Frente al nuevo rol de Irlanda en el mercado informático, el especialista de la UTN Uriel Cukierman habló con Universia sobre su reciente viaje a Dublín, donde asistió a un encuentro organizado por la red e Intel sobre la inclusión de nuevas tecnologías a la universidad
Tras ser un testigo directo de la expansión tecnológica irlandesa y haber conocido en detalle las entrañas del segundo centro productivo más importante de Intel en el mundo, el subsecretarío de TIC de la Universidad Tecnológica Nacional (UTN), Uriel Cukierman, se convenció que la clave de este país para ser un referente del mundo informático fue haber invertido en recursos humanos y educación.
Tras su reciente viaje a Dublín, donde fue invitado por Universia para asistir al «Primer Congreso sobre la Transformación hacia la eUniversidad», el funcionario local le contó a este portal su impresión del fenómeno irlandés y la necesidad de un debate intenso en torno de la nuevas tecnologías aplicadas a la enseñanza universitaria.

¿Qué rol jugó la universidad para el desarrollo tecnológico de Irlanda
Solo para ratificar lo hasta aquí expuesto, permitime tener en cuenta lo expresado en tal sentido por Andrés Oppenheimer en un libro de reciente publicación («Cuentos chinos: El engaño de Washington, la mentira populista y la esperanza de América Latina»).
¿Qué dice en concreto este periodista?.
Según el autor, «otros factores claves de las políticas de Irlanda para atraer las inversiones extranjeras fueron el apoyo estatal a la investigación universitaria? ?Irlanda se propuso como política de Estado atraer a las principales empresas de computación del mundo».(leer más…)
