Apprendimento2.0: dalle università americane ai social network italiani

Sempre più scuole ed università americane decidono di usare i social network come strumento a supporto e a volte sostitutivo delle tradizionali lezioni: l’Università di Stanford tiene un corso su Facebook, al Pitzer College, Alexandra Juhasz tiene un corso dal titolo Learning from YouTube. Questo corso consiste nel guardare i video su YouTube e discuterne.
L’ iniziativa più recente è stata intrapresa dall’Università di Berkeley che ha deciso di rendere disponibili su Youtube le registrazioni di alcuni corsi, sebbene alcuni di questi video fossero già caricati su iTunes e Google Video. Le lezioni inserite su Youtube riguardano diversi argomenti: dai tradizionali corsi di chimica e fisica ai più innovativi come i motori di ricerca, una delle cui lezioni è stata tenuta dal co-fondatore di Google Sergey Brin.
Anche in Italia si possono individuare episodi a sostegno dell’uso degli strumenti2.0 nell’ambito dell’insegnamento: ad esempio Luca Conti, novello docente del laboratorio di web 2.0 all’Università di Urbino, ha mostrato l’intenzione di sfruttare tutti gli strumenti utili alla didattica che si trovano sul web: blog, social network, condivisione di link, ecc.. Inoltre è aperta un’ampia discussione sul ruolo che il web2.0 può avere nell’ambito dell’insegnamento, come dimostrato dal nuovo social network Orientamenti e disorientamenti negli usi didattici delle tecnologie, ma anche dai tanti blog che trattano di e-learning e formazione2.0, come ad esempio Web Conoscenza, Formazione2.0 o OltreE-Learning.

  • WolframAlpha: Lots of Potential, Short on Meaning Luglio 10, 2009
    I haven't been formally trained on WolframAlpha nor have I thoroughly investigated it. In fact, I've spent more time reading the hype about it than I have actually kicking the tires. But from the time I've spent, some things are already obvious. First and prominently, WolframAlpha does not rely on semantic technology, neither Semantic Web nor […]

  • Google's Chrome Operating System: A Revolution in the Making? Luglio 9, 2009
    Too little is known yet about Google's new Chrome OS, but based on the scant information available, it's beginning to look like (a) this might be Google's greatest gauntlet yet, and (b) it just might be a terrific ride for the rest of us as well. The fact is, operating system aficionados (I count myself in that group) have had very little to c […]

  • Will NYC Go with Google Analytics? Luglio 8, 2009
    I just read an interesting post on Tom Miller's blog summarizing NYC Mayor Bloomberg's keynote note from the Personal Democracy Forum. Miller's take on the speech was that the city may use Google Analytics for optimizing Web site content. From this passage about the Bloomberg presentation, I'd have to agree: The Mayor also announced that […]

  • Will SharePoint 2007's Success Keep 2010 from Leaving the Station? Luglio 6, 2009
    Those who have studied physics might be familiar with the "story" of the penny and the train. The story goes that if you place a single penny under each wheel of a train, you'll prevent it from moving forward. Essentially, the collective resistance from each penny prevents the train moving forward because it's the same as having the train […]

  • Interactive Dashboards: US.Gov Aces, Wimbledon Double Faults Luglio 2, 2009
    The US government has unveiled a dashboard to track IT spending, which looks at first sight a shining example of the power and value of business intelligence. The Wimbledon tennis dashboard, on the other hand, appears less than impressive… As reported in The New York Times, the so-called IT Dashboard was put together by the US government in a remarkably sho […]
