En columna publicada en La Tercera, la autoridad comenta que en Chile, "la posibilidad de expansión económica, basada solamente en las exportaciones de los commodities y en la utilización de mano de obra no calificada, está llegando a su máximo límite", y que sin una economía basada en la innovación, el panorama es poco auspicioso para nuestro país.
"Ha resultado imposible conversar sobre universidades prescindiendo del posicionamiento que cada una hoy tiene y defiende. Hay temor de otorgar ventajas en lo que se percibe como fiera competencia económica. Todo se entraba para que nada cambie...".Los juicios que hoy se emiten sobre cambios en educación superior solo pueden comprenderse si se les refiere a un conjunto de valores y un modelo que, después de años de monótona hegemonía, suelen ser aceptados como incuestionables. Hay alarma ante cualquier amenaza de mínimo alejamiento de esa supuesta normalidad.
Académicos e investigadores de ambas instituciones participaron de un encuentro donde en un proceso de reflexión y análisis en conjunto a representantes de la comunidad local, del Ministerio de Educación y del Consejo de Rectores, abordaron las áreas del Programa Académico 2017 - 2019 de la Universidad de Aysén, que son recursos naturales, ingeniería, educación, salud y ciencias sociales. Las carreras que impartirá esta institución en una primera etapa serán anunciadas el próximo 5 de mayo. Pertinencia, vinculación con la realidad regional y desarrollo local.

This is a live-blog of Erhardt Graeff's talk at the TICTeC 2016 conference. Any errors or omissions are the fault of the author, Rahul Bhargava, due to trying to type as quickly as Erhardt speaks!
Erhardt is evaluating online learning engagement as civic learning. He works a lot on case-studies for civic impact - to inform how we design these tools. Instead of focusing on specific problems, he is interested in growth of individuals to be able to effectively participate in democracy.

Bradi Heaberlin and Simon DeDeo at Future Internet: “Social norms have traditionally been difficult to quantify. In any particular society, their sheer number and complex interdependencies often limit a system-level analysis. One exception is that of the network of norms that sustain the online Wikipedia community. We study the fifteen-year evolution of this network using the interconnected set of pages that establish, describe, and interpret the community’s norms.

On April 13, Senators Richard Burr (R-NC) and Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) released an official draft of their long-awaited anti-encryption bill. The sponsors of the “Compliance with Court Orders Act of 2016” (CCOA) call it an innocuous law-and-order measure to ensure that American companies comply with court orders.
