- گفتم شايد توجه سردبير ايسنا را جلب کند. (البته میدانم بوی گوز آیتیالهیها با مال ما فرق دارد و درنتيجه شايد متوجه نشوند!) ايسنا که هميشه مدافع آزادی بيان در اينترتت بوده، از پوشش خبری سخنان معتمدی دربارهی ليستسياه ۲۴۰ تايی مخابرات و بخش بزرگ حرفهای خاتمی دربارهی لزوم انتشار ليستسياه، سرباز زده است. در عوض خبری دارد دربارهی اينکه رایدهندگان مسابقهی وبلاگها میتوانند رایهايشان را عوض کنند، و از همه مهمتر اينکه «امكان ارتباط تلفني با شهرهاي مقدس نجف و كربلا برقرار شد». برای اينکه مطمئن شويد متن اصلی جوابهای معتمدی معتمدی و کنفرانس خبری خاتمی را به انگليسی بخوانيد. |

- In the same ruling, Canadian copyright regulators also impose a $25 fee on iPod-like MP3 players and say uploading is prohibited. [CNET News.com] A much more thorough article than the CBC's. I may have jumped the gun when I said the increase was not too much. The amount is added to the wholesale price. |

- The Copyright Board of Canada opted for the status quo in a ruling today, maintaining (but not doubling, as the music publishing industry had asked) levies on music recording media. In Canada, individuals may use such media to copy songs for their personal use, and the levy is paid as a royalty to music publishers (who are supposed to, in theory, pass the money on to musicians). The industry had also requested levies on most forms of digital media, such as DVds and hard drives, but this was rejected by the board, which concluded that most people do not use these for music. The Board also ruled against the industry's 'zero rating' levy on media for music businesses, religious groups, and education, saying that the levy was unfair. All in all, a good ruling, though I would like to see some of this money in the pockets of the people who make the music. |

- Long and from what I can tell (I tested a bunch) accurate list to open access online journals in the field of education. This is a tremendous resource. I think I should spend some time with this list and think about how to make the contents even more accessable... By Tirupalavanam G. Ganesh, AERA SIG: |

- While some people cling to the idea that progress and innovation can be measured in erms of the numbers of patents granted, it is becoming clear that the rapid proliferation of the technology monopolies are having the opposite result. "More patents in more industries and with greater breadth are not always the best ways to maximize consumer welfare," said a a report released in October by the U.S. the Federal Trade Commission. "Many panelists and participants expressed the view that software and Internet patents are impeding innovation. |

- You will want to get to this one before ERIC is shut down (I wonder whether they did any 'scientific reasearch' before making that decision). According to the author, "Work-based learning represents the integration of workplace experiences and career and technical education (CTE) curriculum." You will therefore want to read this item in conjunction with the work on workflow learning, also listed here this week. The article is a survey, identifying major aspects of work-based learning, and hence, is a good introduction to the concept.

- Just launched, volume 1, number 1 of the Asian Journal of Distance Education contains articles by Fred Lockwood, Tony Bates and Kinshuk, among others. Unfortunately, only abstracts are posted online, which means you have to purchase the dead tree version if you actually want to read any of these words of wisdom. I don't understand why authors continue to support restricted access versions of journals like this. By various Authors, November, 2003 [Refer][Research][Reflect] |

- This is the Civil Society Declaration to the World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS) and consists of a statement of broad principles which are (in my view) worthy of endorsement in general. "We are committed to building information and communication societies that are people-centred, inclusive and equitable. Societies in which everyone can freely create, access, utilise, share and disseminate information and knowledge, so that individuals, communities and peoples are empowered to improve their quality of life and to achieve their full potential. Societies founded on the principles of social, political, and economic justice, and peoples' full participation and empowerment, and thus societies that truly address the key development challenges facing the world today. Societies that pursue the objectives of sustainable development, democracy, and gender equality, for the attainment of a more peaceful, just, egalitarian and thus sustainable world, premised on the principles enshrined in the Charter of the United Nations and in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. |
