Mary Pringle published a blog post #change11 Reading Peter Lunenfeld November 1, 2011 - 5:53am

I have not had time, and will not have time until the New Year, to pay enough attention to the Change11 MOOC, but I'm lurking when I can. Something from a book I'm reading, The Secret War Between Downloading & Uploading by Peter Lunenfeld...

  A good introductory text to get students to engage with copyright in terms of the inevitably intertextual practice of composition would be the NFB documentary RiP: A Remix Mainfesto (which can be viewed free online). Maybe also have a look at Marcus Boon's In Praise of Copying, Lawrence Lessig's Free Culture, or James Boyle's The Public Domain -- all free e-books.
  Lunenfeld's book sounds interesting. Will check it out.

Mary Pringle commented on a bookmark GPU cracks six-character password in four seconds - 10/4/2011 - Computer Weekly October 13, 2011 - 2:51pm

I just made a cryptic sentence for a password. I liked it. No poetry but my own.

Mary Pringle published a blog post #change11 Starting to Appreciate Principles of OER October 13, 2011 - 2:17pm

In addition to listening to David Wiley, I've also gone to a presentation by Wayne McIntosh of WikEducator. I'm starting to appreciate how his OER model might work. For instance, how would you build a network of volunteer instructors? I for one as...

I've actually seen that video--it was probably simmering in my unconscious when I commented on the Semantic Web. Thanks for the reminder.

@mccutcheon It's this course (http://change.mooc.ca/index.html) run by George Siemens et al. The Facebook group, which is too big IMHO is one of the spontaneous eruptions that are encouraged by the course organizers.

This week we have a couple of articles to read from Martin Weller's book and some questions to consider. This is familiar. I like it. Digital Scholarship and Teaching How might abundance impact upon teaching you are aware of? Martin says in Ch. 5...

Mary Pringle published a blog post #change11 - Misgivings about the Semantic Web September 26, 2011 - 9:09am

I missed last week (Week 2 of Change 2011). There were problems with the video, and I was busy. I'm easily put off by glitches--links that don't work or go the wrong place, mistakes in schedules, videoconference fails--because I'm always so busy...

  Whoa, that's massive alright. With a great lineup of instructors and presenters. Thanks for clarifying.
  Your misgivings about the "semantic web" make it seem a bit like the "filter bubble." Whatever you do on the web, this talk is well worth the 9 minutes to watch it:

Mary Pringle commented on the blog The future of academic literature September 19, 2011 - 3:54pm

Here is my jaundiced and cynical view on academic literature: I think the traditional vehicles no longer serve their intended purpose (I can't say to what extent they ever did, but I sense that we are in a season of decline). There is a great deal...

Mary Pringle commented on a bookmark Pullum, Geoffrey K. "50 Years of Stupid Grammar Advice" (re: Strunk & White) August 18, 2011 - 11:40am

I feel so sad that someone does not like 'that' with restrictive relative clauses. It suits my taste so well. On the other hand, my brush with linguistics (I remember Geoffrey Pullum as a rock star in the field--it was a big thrill to see him...
