Les MOOC d'apprentissage fondé sur le jeu pour promouvoir l'éducation à l'esprit d'entreprise
Promouvoir l'esprit d'entreprise peut aider à surmonter la crise économique actuelle. Et les cours en ligne ouverts et massifs (MOOC) pourraient permettre à un grand nombre de gens de suivre des cours d'éducation à l'esprit d'entreprise.
L'étude de cas présentée dans cet article porte sur le MOOC « Introduction à l'entrepreneuriat », qui exploite le potentiel de l'apprentissage fondé sur le jeu pour développer l'esprit d'entreprise à l'aide d'une méthode active fondée sur un cours MOOC ouvert à tous et partout.
LEARNTEC 2013 - The digital relevance of life-long learning
LEARNTEC is the leading international trade fair and convention for vocational education, learning and information technology and is scheduled to take place between 29 and 31 January 2013 at the Karlsruhe Trade Fair Center. It has been established for many years as the sector meeting place for e-learning providers and players in the field of vocational education and the focus of next year's event will be on "Future Learning".
Mobile learning, games and social learning: there is no mistaking the technological trends in the world of learning, and these developments are also reflected in the LEARNTEC 2013 motto: "Future Learning". The convention is also dealing with topics from daily practice, including blended learning, the introduction of e-learning and virtual classrooms. Among the management themes covered, employer attractiveness, professional careers and performance management are areas of particular focus. A number of new fields will also be highlighted, including education for the "50+" generation, innovative interfaces and digital publishing.
LEARNTEC follows up on its success with highly relevant, up-to-date topics. LEARNTEC was rated as far and away the most important one among education fairs and conventions by MMB Learning Delphi 2012. A large majority of experts surveyed – 82 percent – considered LEARNTEC to be the go-to event for digital learning, while 89 percent of e-learning providers were of the same opinion.
According to PricewaterhouseCoopers' "Global Entertainment and Media Outlook: 2012-2016" publication, digital learning media are set to grow by 12.1 percent annually over the next five years, whereas the non-digital media market is only expected to grow by 2.8 percent per year. This is why LEARNTEC will be featuring the debut of e-PUB@LEARNTEC, an interactive café that will serve as a meeting point for everyone dealing with digital learning media such as e-books and apps. All issues having to do with e-publishing will be up for discussion in a relaxed café atmosphere.
LEARNTEC 2013 once again has a wealth of highlights in store, with organisers being careful to ensure that there is a healthy mix. The event will kick off with two keynote addresses: Prof. Barbara Ischinger from the OECD will be talking about "Creating quality jobs by leveraging education, skills and migration", while Prof. Dieter Kempf, CEO of Datev and President of BITKOM, for the first time serving as a conceptual partner to LEARNTEC, will be exploring learning scenarios for 2020. On the first day of the event, a high-calibre discussion group featuring Prof. Dr. Peter Vorderer and Prof. Dr. Gerhard de Haan will take a look at the topic of "digital relevance", offering a counterweight to current theses about computers not benefitting the educational process. New York-based Colleen Macklin, an internationally renowned professor specialising in games, will be brought on board for the Wednesday programme, while the final day will once again be devoted to the issue of motivation, as successful trainer Dr. Frädrich will be showing ways to escape from demotivation. During LEARNTEC, Karlsruhe Trade Fair Center will also be playing host to the Baden-Württemberg media day, which is focusing on "The role of mobile media in children's media".
The 21st LEARNTEC is to take place at Karlsruhe Trade Fair Center from 29 January to 31 January 2013.

Introducing Serious Game Programming to Teacher Education at Hamburg University
This article describes a course for pre-service teachers designed to get them into touch with creating games for educational purposes while offering them various possibilities of having experiences with the benefits and the possible pitfalls of new media usage in education in general.
At the University of Hamburg, integrating new media into educational settings is a central aspect of teacher education. The introduction of Serious Game programming to teacher education supports pre-service teachers in familiarizing themselves with creative ways of utilizing the educational potential of new media for themselves as well as their students.
Hamburg University, one of the largest universities in Germany, accepts several hundred pre-service teachers per year. During their course of studies, they can choose to focus on courses in educational science aimed at deepening their knowledge about integrating new media into educational settings.
Serious Computer Games as a Teaching Tool
Serious Computer Games as a Teaching Tool - A One Stop Toolkit for Vocational Education Teachers and Trainers who want to use Serious Computer Games in their sessions but need a helping hand. Funded by the Leonardo Transfer of Innovation (TOI) stream of the Lifelong Learning Programme of the European Commission.
The project SCOGATT aims to identify Serious Computer Games (SCG), use SCG in the curriculum, and develop a workshop in which teachers will learn and be trained in using SCG in class. Another main objective is to transfer the award winning EnerCities, as an example of a successful SCG, to new settings and languages.
The Intelligent Energy Europe project, "Enercities" is an online elearning game for young people to experience energy-related implications. The goal of the game is to create and expand virtual cities dealing with pollution, energy shortages, renewable energy etc. The project has been very successful and has won national awards in both Netherlands and Germany as well as across Europe.
Making Serious Games Available to All
Ángel del Blanco Aguado works on making Serious Games universally accessible at the Universidad Complutense de Madrid's eLearning Research group. The group recently presented a paper on this topic in the Game-Based Learning workshop at ICWL 2012, in Sinaia, Romania.
Serious Games? Isn't that an oxymoron?
If we use games in education, we can't forget the fun factor. But we also have to include, and this means working together with education experts, the pedagogical element as well. The word serious is used because the audience we're talking about includes both children and adults—teaching business skills like teamwork management, for example.
Your current research focuses on automatic and semi-automatic tools, what exactly do you mean by that?
It's what we're putting into practice at our eAdventure platform: making games accessible for everyone, without a need for technical skills. The word automatic simply means that by selecting a few choice settings, creative games can be transformed for use by disabled people, for example.
Are we talking about a choose-your-own-adventure kind of website?
Well, it's more about tackling certain program features in favor of universal access. For example, using a text speech engine means you can transform instructions into audio, so that the game becomes available to blind people. In the end, our aim is to bring universal educational content to a wider audience.
Is this being put into practice in actual classrooms?
We've been working on eAdventures for 6 years, and at first it's true that teachers didn't use games much. Our research led us to believe that, although they were keen, the games were not easily adaptable to their needs because they were diconnected from their real learning cenarios. Nowadays, however, there's a growing interest, not only in schools, but at the university level as well, due to the increasing number of games. Also, in cases like eAdventure games, the possibility of adapting their content or creating them from scratch makes them more attractive and accessible. We've already started to hear from teachers who employ them in our community.
What does the future hold for Serious Games?
In a global sense, it's hard to tell. Our near future involves connecting games with learning analytics so as to predict and understand the problems users encounter. Because right now there's a lot of information and materials out there that could be used to examine students' interaction with educational content, but it's not being fully analyzed and interpreted.
Project GREAT Expert Group Report
In late February, in Graz, a group of experts from Romania, Turkey, Portugal, Austria, Germany, Austria and United Kingdom, selected by the different partners shared with the GREAT Team their knowledge and experience, exploring game based learning (GBL) methodologies as a useful tool for education and training.
The aim of this meeting was to give an insight on the training and teaching process in several European States, discussing how people can acquire new competences to the labor market, reflecting on the possibilities offered by new methodologies on learning.
VS-Games '12 - 4th International Conference on Games and Virtual Worlds for Serious Applications
The term 'Serious Games' covers a broad range of applications from flash-based animations to totally immersive and code-driven 3D environments where users interface with large volumes of data through sophisticated and interactive digital interfaces. This shift towards immersive world applications being used to support education, health and training activities marks the beginning of new challenges that offer real scope for collaborative and multi-disciplinary research solutions, and real opportunities for innovative development.
The conference aims to ask and search for answers to the following questions:
In what ways are games and virtual world applications effective tools?
- What founding theories and approaches are emerging to support the field?
- What and how can different technologies contribute to build ever better serious games?
- What are the benefits of serious games for end-users and stakeholders? How can benefits be assessed?
- What are the technologies (e.g. applications, platforms, engines) that are most effective in which areas and for what targets?
- What cross-disciplinary approaches are emerging to support design, development and implementation of the technologies?
- How and for what benefits is user generated content supported?
Researchers, developers, practitioners and decision-makers working with or applying serious games in their communities are invited to present papers in the following two main streams of the conference: games and virtual world applications for serious applications.
Read the Call for Papers here.
Deadline for paper submissions is 1 June 2012.

Grand Green Tourmaline Estate Ring
Sumptuous in size and striking in color, this tourmaline ring of 14k white gold is a sight to behold. Often under used, the tourmaline is a rather interesting gem. No two are quite alike and the color of the stone can be in virtually any of the colors of the spectrum.
This specific example has a most vibrant verdant green hue. Cleaved into a gem of more than 7 carats, the rectangular cut shows off the qualities of the stone to its best advantage. Corner claw set into an open work modern mount of 14k white gold, the shoulders of the smooth shank are adorned with eight (8) brilliant cut diamonds with a total estimated diamond weight of .12 carats.
Date: Modern estate.
Measurements: 5/8 of an inch (1.6 cm) in length by 7/8 of an inch (1.2 cm) in width and rises ¼ of an inch (0.7 cm) in height off the finger. Weight of 5.9 grams (3.7 dwt).
Ring Size: US 7-3/4 (UK P 1/2; Int. Dia. 18.2 mm; Japan under a 16) and easily can be sized to fit most. Ring sizing information.
Hallmarks: 14k.
Condition: Excellent; a natural hairline inclusion horizontally across the stone is visible with magnification.
Origin: American in origin.
Note: Stones have not been removed from their mounts to preserve the integrity of the setting. All diamond and gemstone weights have been approximated by measurement and formula and may vary from actual weights.

Believe me, there's NEVER been an accident anywhere near here.
So, the cop was running a little late and speeding to position himself so he could radar and penalize people for running a little late and speeding.
Lesson: don't go over 30mph in a 25mph zone. Some cops use these areas to get their brownie points.

I purchased this Rainfall shower faucet for my master bathroom. The item is very nice and when compared to the higher priced faucets at the big brand stores it comes out ahead in style and price. With the money I was able to save on this faucet, I was able to buy my sink faucets to match. Very good deals here.

Flea Market Wire Ball Bins
$39.00 each
So we're at a flea market and this flea comes up to us and says, "Check out this heavy-duty, steel wire storage ball bin." So we do, and we're really impressed. And then the flea says, "It's non-toxic, powder-coated and handmade." At that point, we stop ourselves because everyone knows that fleas can't talk. So then we're left to make our own bins and daydream about talking fleas.

No, I meant conscience as in "the inner sense of what is right or wrong in one's conduct or motives, impelling one toward right action".
If one's inner sense of what is right and wrong is incorrect (leading them to do things that are immoral but that they think are OK/moral), then they have a "malformed conscience". We probably all do to some degree... but some consciences are pretty far off the mark.
OK - I think we are down to semantics now so I will concede the fact that my conscience/morals (either or both) are "way off the mark" when it comes to yours and vice versa.

Site Guide: Quantitative Skills, Thinking, and Reasoning
A variety of resources that use quantitative thinking in the classroom are available through SERC websites. The resources include extensive collections of project pages with tutorials and examples and teaching activities at various educational levels, some of which contain visualizations that may be useful for lectures or labs are also available.
Teaching Quantitative Skills in the Geosciences: This website provides information on the issues involved in teaching quantitative skills and methods and activities for doing so as well as additional resources and a community of other faculty who are all attempting this challenging task.
Carleton's Quantitative Inquiry, Reasoning, and Knowledge (QuIRK) Inititative - QuIRK is a campus-wide, multidisciplinary effort at Carleton College to address quantitative issues across the curriculum. The initiative runs campus events and makes resources available to the campus community as well as the broader public.
Teaching with Spreadsheets Across the Curriculum - This project uses modules with short PowerPoint presentations to guide students to build spreadsheets to solve one or more mathematical problems in the context of their courses. The students determine cell equations that produce the calculated numbers shown on the spreadsheets. Examples are provided for a variety of topics, including National Parks, volcanology, geologic hazards, and more.
Quantitative Writing - This module is part of Starting Point and provides information, tutorials, and examples that aid in using quantitative writing in the classroom. Quantitative writing tasks students with analyzing and interpreting numbers and data through writing to bring meaning to the data.
Mathematics and Statistical Models - This module provides basic information about mathematical and statistical models, how they can be used in the classroom, and provides activity examples that utilize both.
Making and Testing Conjectures - This site, part of the CAUSE project, provides basic information about conjectures and why/how they can be utilized in the classroom as an effective way to engage students and to develop their reasoning skills. Example activities, mainly related to statistics, are also provided.

The ten days that comprise SXSW Interactive, SXSW Film, and SXSW Music — occur March 8-17 in Austin, Texas. The Austin Convention Center in the heart of downtown is central to the SXSW experience. That's the first place registrants go to pick up their badge and where they'll spend most of their time at conference panels/keynotes, the trade shows, and hundreds of other scheduled activities.
Specific SXSW disciplines (Music, Film, Interactive) also have events taking place outside the Convention Center but most will be easily accessible by foot, shuttle or bicycle.
R&R Hotel Shuttle: This inexpensive circulating shuttle will service official SXSW hotels outside the easily walkable downtown area during Film, Interactive and Music. See details here.
Interactive: In addition to the Panels, Keynotes, Trade Show, etc. in the Austin Convention Center, SXSW Interactive will have full slates of conference events at several centrally located venues. Each venue will focus on a different programming theme and will be easily accessible by foot or by the free circulating Interactive Festival Shuttles.
Film: The SXSW Film Festival has a number of venues all within walking distance of the Austin Convention Center. Don't feel like walking? The SXSW Film Festival Shuttle is free for all Platinum, Gold and Film badge holders and will run from Friday, March 8 through Saturday, March 16.
Music: In addition to the Panels, Keynotes, Trade Show, etc. in the Convention Center, the SXSW Music Festival has over 80 stages -- most are downtown and many within walking distance of the Austin Convention Center.
Expect to do lots of walking while you're here, so wear your comfy shoes. If walking isn't your style, check out the City of Austin's many modes of transportation or check out our Public Transportation, Cars, Buses & Bikes pages.
Getting dropped off at the Austin Convention Center? The best place to do that is in the circle drive located on Cesar Chavez on the south side of the building.
Traffic in Austin is greatly affected by road closures during SXSW. Click here to download a PDF map of anticipated SXSW 2013 Street Closures.
SX Lockers: During the one-of-a-kind marathon that can leave you wishing for a pedicab of your own, let SXSW help carry the weight as you store your personals in SX Lockers. Charge your phone in our locker systems or store your luggage in the attached bag + coat check area.
Open daily, March 8-17 from 10:00am-3:00am on 2nd & Trinity. Pre-register here for your own locker space during SXSW!

Marussia confirmed on Monday, that they have dropped German Timo Glock form the driver line-up for this season´s championship..
The team, narrowly missing out on 10th place in the constructors championship last year, hired Max Chilton to face alongside Glock this season, but a recent German report strongly indicated that a split between the two parties were imminent. The team also said that the decision was mutual with Glock accepting his fate and that they had been looking for a driver with a stronger financial package.
Team boss John Booth:
"Timo has made a very significant contribution to our team over the past three seasons, helping us to develop our package to the point where, for a large proportion of the 2012 season, we were holding 10th place in the constructors' championship.
"Timo is a fantastic driver and he has been a very popular member of the team. Our team was founded on the principle of benefiting from proven experience whilst also providing opportunities for young emerging talent to progress to the pinnacle of motorsport. Thus far, this philosophy has also been reflected in our commercial model. The ongoing challenges facing the industry mean that we have had to take steps to secure our long-term future.
"Tough economic conditions prevail and the commercial landscape is difficult for everyone, Formula One teams included. We would like to thank Timo for working with us to reach this decision, especially as he had a valid contract, and also for the contribution he has made to our team. We wish him all the best for his future and I would like to congratulate the next team acquiring the services of such a competitive, professional and experienced racer.
"We will provide an update regarding the completion of our driver line-up in due course."
Vitaly Petrov has been rumoured to be offered the vacant seat at Marussia. He is backed by some serious Russian rubles, and the Russian GP is inaugurated next year.

The conference is open to the community and will be held from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Kings Chapel Presbyterian Church on South Highway 27 in Carrollton.
Keynote speakers at the conference will be Meredith Hendley, Kelly Driggers and Lauren Gossett.
"We're excited as the Lord continues to strengthen and grow women in and around Carrollton, who are learning daily what it looks like to walk in His love," said Gossett, who is the conference coordinator. "Our identity, which is rooted in Him, defines our purpose."
The Bible verse for the conference is Ephesians 2:10, "For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do."
Hendley, who will speak on "Our Identity Through Redemptive History," is a mother, pastor's wife and seminary graduate who grew up in the mountains of North Carolina and on the beaches of east coast Florida.
Hendley graduated from Palm Beach Atlantic University with a degree in biblical studies and Christian social work. She received her master's degree in biblical studies from Reformed Theological Seminary.
Hendley has been involved in ministry with Youth for Christ and Campus Crusade, as well as being a leader in church women's ministries.
She is currently a stay-at-home mom, with her two children, Lylah, 3, and Caedmon, 1.
Driggers will speak on "Our Purpose in Identity."
She is married to Steve Driggers, who is retired from the U.S. Marine Corps. They have four grown daughters and live in Birmingham, Ala.
She has a certificate in biblical Christian counseling and enjoys her opportunity to share God's love with others.
Gossett will speak on "Freedom of Self-Forgiveness."
She is a 2010 graduate of Samford University in Birmingham, Ala,, with a B.A. degree in sociology. She is working on an M.Ed. degree in professional counseling at University of West Georgia.
In addition to the keynote speakers, a panel of women from the Carrollton community will address the topic, "What Our Identity Compels Us To Do."
The panel participants will include Tina Heine, Ronda Ivey, Shelby Etress, Lindsay Ellenburg and Meck Xayavongsa.
"They'll share information about several ministry opportunities for involvement in the spiritual growth of college students," Gossett said.
For more information about the conference, contact Gossett by e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Cost will be $5 at the door, which will include lunch. Free childcare will be available, but parents are asked to pack a sack lunch for their children. People interested in childcare need to register their children with Erin Goode by e-mail, firstname.lastname@example.com.
King's Chapel Presbyterian Church was founded as Covenant Presbyterian Church in September, 1985, by Dr. Will Rogers. Its purpose was to provide the community with a ministry emphasizing sound biblical teaching and discipleship from a Reformed perspective. The name was changed to King's Chapel Presbyterian in 1992.
The church's website is www.kcpchurch.com.
Campus Outreach is a worldwide interdenominational Christian organization, focusing on evangelism with college students. Its mission statement is, "Glorifying God by building laborers on the campus in a lost world." It is based on Matthew 28:19-20, as well as Jesus' lament about the lack of "working laborers" in Matthew 9:35-38.
The organization was founded in 1978 in Birmingham under the auspices of Briarwood Presbyterian Church of Birmingham. The first ministry outside Birmingham began in 1981 and several other ministries have sprung up throughout the southeastern U.S., but also in Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Thailand and Brazil.
Ben Weber, who heads UWG Campus Outreach, said what makes the program unique is that it is centered among campus activities, reaching out to students and its presence is not defined by a building on campus.
"If you go to the typical college campus, college ministries will have houses on the periphery of the campus," he said. "They have a philosophy that students will come to them. We don't have a house, but we're big on reaching out to students. We feel our headquarters is the center or mainstream of the university."
More information on UWG Campus Outreach is available by calling Weber at 205-902-4667. He can also be reached by e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com.
The international organization website is www.campusoutreach.org and the Birmingham website, www.cobirmingham.org.

Pod HD 500 Through Roland KC 550
Like (0)
Hey I'm pretty new to this community so bear with me if i'm asking in the wrong spot but anyways here we go. I recently decided to upgrade from the speaker I was playing through to a keyboard amp because I've seen a lot of positive comments about some of them here on the forums. So I went down to my local store and I tried a yorkville 200kb 200 watt keyboard amp and I thought it sounded pretty good. They had it on sale for 300$ instead of 760$ regular price. Unfortunatly they didn't have a roland kc 550 so I could try and compare but I could still get it shipped in. So my question is: would the sound quality be the same since that the yorkville is actually worth more new and they are both similar wattage and they both have 15" speakers? I'm still open to other suggestions if you have any. Thanks
It'd be of similar quality, although no two speaker systems technically sound the same. I'd say you made a good purchase. Set up your tones to work well with the Yorkville, and you'll be good to go. If you ended up getting the Roland later, you'd have to re-tweak your patches to sound best with that amp.
If you're wanting some suggestions, here's one: I personally use a 12" powered PA speaker for my POD HD500 when I play live. That way, when I play a gig somewhere where there's not enough monitor mixes, I just pipe a mix into my speaker and I'm good to go. I've found I play a lot of gigs where there's only one monitor mix, which is usually set up for the lead vocalist. This way, I just set up another aux send and feed it to my monitor. If I know the place I'm playing has a good monitor setup, then I just leave my speaker at home. I'm all about keeping my gear to a minimum these days. Having to load in just a guitar or two and one POD / accessory bag is great, especially when I get to watch others bring in heads, cabs, guitars, effects, etc... just to get a couple of perfect tones that few, if anyone, in the audience notices anyway.
Okay thanks, I think i'll go for the yorkville since i'm hard on cash anyways
After you break in the speaker on your Yorkie/Roland and use it for a while I would suggest upgrading the speaker to an Eminence Delta 15A. All inexpensive keyboard amps use low quality stock speakers that after a while will show deficiencies at any high volume.I have found them for 99 bucks or so and they are well worth it.I use a KC300 with an Eminence Delta 12A speaker and it kills! I can also run a monitor feed into it from the main mixer if I need to. Very Cool!
Ok thanks, i'll definitely check into that later
Stay in the mix and in the know.

I have been teaching English since 1996. I am a certified reading specialist and an English teacher. My experience ranges from 6th grade to 12th and spans a diverse range of learners in many different settings. I have taught in both NH and NY. Presently, I am an English Academic Services provider and English teacher at an Upstate New York high school. I service students in grades 9 - 12 who need English skills improvement with a reading and writing workshop style. I also teach core-area English classes. In 2011, I completed the National Writing Project's Invitational Summer Institute with Capital District Writing Project. I also write free-lance for www.teachhub.com.
Balanced literacy and student centered/teacher facilitated instruction is important to my teaching. I also value the whole student which is important to consider when teaching anyone anything. I strive to help students value texts for their literary value and not just based on if they "like it". I have found success in connecting literature to the present and real world through the use of supplemental articles, blogs, poetry and other texts. I also incorporate varied writing tasks into my daily teaching.

After the release of our movie Levity last month, we've decided to work on 4 different full parts from the main riders of the movie. As the movie has been edited like a story, it makes sense for us to release these parts separately. The parts have been edited to the riders choice of music and they had full control over which shot should be or not in the edit. So here is the second one from Johann Baisamy.

Gender Boy Girl Origin or Ethnicity First Letter A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z
Meaning: Its source is Elisheva, a Hebrew name meaning "God's promise."
Origin: "Elisheva."
Popularity: The name Elizabet ranked 4068th in popularity for females of all ages in a sample of the 1990 US Census.
Though this name appears on the 1990 U.S. Census lists, it is used by only a small percentage of the general population.
Narrative: Other suggested meanings still relate to the fulfillment of a promise. They include ''God's satisfaction'' and ''God's perfection.''
Until the 16th-century reign of England's Queen Elizabeth I, this name was most commonly spelled with an ''s'' in the middle. Such was the popularity of Good Queen Bess that her spelling has reigned supreme ever since.
Speaking of Bess, this name is the Mother of All Nicknames, Spellings and Alternate Forms. We've counted close to 70 so far, and we are still looking!
