Forskare slår larm till regeringen: Läget sämre i dag än före Tjernobylolyckan.Strålskyddsarbetet är i akut kris. Trots terrorhot med radioaktiva ämnen och allt fler mobiltelefoner som ökar riskerna med strålning i samhället tappar svensk strålskyddsforskning i kompetens. Situationen är sämre i dag än före kärnkrafts-olyckan i Tjernobyl. Regeringen har inte lyssnat på våra varningar. Sverige har hävdat sig bra på strålskyddsområdet i EU. Men nu hotar de svenska insatserna att krympa, i synnerhet som flertalet forskare går i pension de närmaste åren. Det skriver tolv ledande forskare, organisationstoppar och myndighetspersoner, däribland chefen för Strålskyddsinstitutet Lars-Erik Holm.
14 mars 2013: Les listes de l'Union générale des étudiants de Tunisie ( UGET ) ont remporté la majorité des sièges des conseils scientifiques dans les 165 établissements universitaires.« L'UGET a réalisé un succès historique en nombre de sièges obtenus et en taux de présence dans les établissements universitaires puisqu'on a remporté 295 sièges sur un total de 549 sièges » a déclaré à l'Agence TAP Ezzedine Zaatour, secrétaire général de l'UGET commentant les résultats des élections des conseils scientifiques qui ont eu lieu ces derniers jours. « Notre organisation a obtenu la première place pour ce qui est du nombre de sièges obtenus dans les conseils scientifiques suivie des listes indépendantes.Les listes de l'Union générale Tunisienne des Etudiants ( UGTE ), inféodé au mouvement islamiste Ennahdha au pouvoir, vient en troisième position », a encore expliqué Zaatour.Le représentant de l'UGET a qualifié les élections des conseils scientifiques de »transparentes et démocratiques » saluant la neutralité de l'administration.

iTEC (Innovative Technologies for an Engaging Classroom) is a four year, large-scale project that takes an informed look at the potential classroom of the future.
Starting in September 2010, iTEC will bring together policy makers, researchers, technology suppliers, other technology-enhanced learning experts and innovative teachers in order to design and build scalable learning and teaching scenarios for the future classroom with recognition of the realities of pace of the educational reform process. Rigorous testing of these future classroom scenarios in large-scale pilots will then be carried out in order to significantly increase the possibility that innovation can be mainstreamed and taken to scale when the project ends.
With 27 project partners, including 14 Ministries of Education (MoE), and funding from the European Commission of 9.45 million Euros, iTEC will provide a model describing how the deployment of technology in support of innovative teaching and learning activities can move beyond small scale pilots and become embedded in all Europe's schools. The strategic nature of the project is underlined by the fact that the iTEC piloting in >1,000 classrooms in 12 countries is by some margin the largest pan-European validation of ICT in schools yet undertaken.

"Mutta luultavasti hän on oikeassa siinä, että sosiaalisen median nykyiset käytännöt vahvistavat niitä vähemmän mairittelevia ominaisuuksiamme, joita sivistyksellä on koetettu korjata. Sosiaalinen media jopa palkitsee niistä. Voimmeko kuvitella online-yhteisöä, jossa hiljaiset, mukavat ja harkitut puheenvuorot voittavat äänekkäät, vihaiset ja ilkeät?

Creese criticizes the approach to CBLT in western countries. It has been claimed that the UK approach cannot be considered content-based language teaching. Creese’s study supports this, by arguing that:
•the EAL teacher does most of the language work while the subject teachers focus on the curriculum work
•when teachers focus on the referential (as opposed to metalinguistic) function of language they concentrate mainly on introducing new vocabulary.
The focus is however mostly on the high profile xMOOC interpretations of Coursera, edX etc rather than on the more undercover collaborative MOOCs offered by networks of teachers.
