This should have happened earlier… but I have finally cleaned my lifestream (slightly). The categories correspond to the main building block of this course -so the broad thematic activities as well as type of assignments or source. The tags are the key themes. A quick work on two things that …
I just realised my RSS feed didn’t work, well it did work but only for some lifestreams, I am not too sure what happened as I did do some tests but anyway… here are just a few of the comments I made, already some weeks ago, on the algorithmic play …
From the French-German ARTE.tv – this is great (but iframe doesn’t work) What exactly are algorithms and how do they affect politics and civic society? Are they ideologically neutral or can they be manipulated? Raphaël Enthoven discusses with Italian political journalist Giuliano da Empoli and algorithm expert, Aurélie Jean. https://www.arte.tv/en/videos/092170-008-A/algorithms-and-ideology/ …
This is not really my last post, more of an in-between reflection about some of things I have been posting recently on nudging (and also some of the stuff I read on Valerian’s excellent lifestream – http://edc20.education.ed.ac.uk/vmuscat/), and then obviously the coronvirus debacle and especially the recent u-turn in the …
And here is the algorithmic play I wanted to share for this block, you will find other ideas and experiments in my posts below. The video is a bit long because I wanted to show and comment (parts of) my explorations. Feel free to jump to the conclusions (the summing …
I will not share a screenshot, I am to worried about privacy for that I am afraid. Let me sum it up here, and reflect a little on what may or may not have happened: I have been very curious about privacy and algorithms for a while, among others through …
Worrying times. The commonality between all my covid-19-related posts show is the tension between (1) using AI and algorithms to save lives, and (2) the public and citizens asking, and in fact demanding, that the rationale -the algorithms- behind public health decisions are made public. This is the recent twitter-storm …
This is a short week 8, but I wanted to make justice to the readings and different articles of my lifestream (also, block 3 is more core to my interest and I don’t want to keep lagging behind). It is striking to see how the world have changed in just …
And here we go, one week too late but better late than never. This is based on the two courses I introduced a bit earlier but also my different reflections on colonialism and the Global South in digital education. The link is here https://prezi.com/view/gK8f14SvFBWao3oGbaP8/
I was in DR Congo last week and had very limited Internet connection, so I mostly focussed on reading the course’s main papers as well as some extra blogs and articles on MOOCs in Africa (that I had downloaded on my e-reader). The Digital Education Manifesto (drawing on Knox 2013) …
