Este libro explora los 5 principios que definen a una "ciudad de código abierto" a través del estudio del caso de la ciudad de Raleigh, en Carolina del Norte. Se analiza cómo las características de la metodología empleada en el desarrollo de software de código abierto, es decir, la colaboración, la transparencia y la participación, entre otras, están dando forma a los movimientos por un gobierno abierto (open government) y por una información accesible y reutilizable por parte de los ciudadanos y organizaciones (open data). La cultura en materia de código abierto, la política municipal y el desarrollo que se ha producido en los últimos años en esta población son un ejemplo que sirve como guía para aquellas ciudades que busquen el sello de "ciudad de código abierto".

Download and read online ebook University and School Collaborations During a Pandemic write by Fernando M. Reimers. This book was released on 2022. University and School Collaborations During a Pandemic available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Based on twenty case studies of universities worldwide, and on a survey administered to leaders in 101 universities, this open access book shows that, amidst the significant challenges caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, universities found ways to engage with schools to support them in sustaining educational opportunity. In doing so, they generated considerable innovation, which reinforced the integration of the research and outreach functions of the university. The evidence suggests that universities are indeed open systems, in interaction with their environment, able to discover changes that can influence them and to change in response to those changes. They are also able, in the success of their efforts to mitigate the educational impact of the pandemic, to create better futures, as the result of the innovations they can generate. This challenges the view of universities as "ivory towers" being isolated from the surrounding environment and detached from local problems. As they reached out to schools, universities not only generated clear and valuable innovations to sustain educational opportunity and to improve it, this process also contributed to transform internal university processes in ways that enhanced their own ability to deliver on the third mission of outreach

Hundreds of grassroots groups have sprung up around the world to teach programming, web design, robotics, and other skills outside traditional classrooms. These groups exist so that people don't have to learn these things on their own, but ironically, their founders and instructors are often teaching themselves how to teach. There's a better way. This book presents evidence-based practices that will help you create and deliver lessons that work and build a teaching community around them. Topics include the differences between different kinds of learners, diagnosing and correcting misunderstandings, teaching as a performance art, what motivates and demotivates adult learners, how to be a good ally, fostering a healthy community, getting the word out, and building alliances with like-minded groups. The book includes over a hundred exercises that can be done individually or in groups, over 350 references, and a glossary to help you navigate educational jargon.

Download and read online ebook World Anthropologies write by Gustavo Lins Ribeiro. This book was released on 2020-07-13. World Anthropologies available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Since its inception, anthropology's authority has been based on the assumption that it is a unified discipline emanating from the West. In an age of heightened globalization, anthropologists have failed to discuss consistently the current status of their practice and its mutations across the globe. World Anthropologies is the first book to provoke this conversation from various regions of the world in order to assess the diversity of relations between regional or national anthropologies and a contested, power-laden Western discourse. Can a planetary anthropology cope with both the 'provincial cosmopolitanism' of alternative anthropologies and the 'metropolitan provincialism' of hegemonic schools? How might the resulting 'world anthropologies' challenge the current panorama in which certain allegedly national anthropological traditions have more paradigmatic weight - and hence more power - than others? Critically examining the international dissemination of anthropology within and across national power fields, contributors address these questions and provide the outline for a veritable world anthropologies project.
