Door Margreet van den Berg geattendeerd op de brochure "PROOF. Invoering Online Peer beoordeling - leidraad voor docenten".
"... bedoeld voor docenten die in hun onderwijs studenten elkaar willen laten beoordelen. Want studenten leren van een beoordeling van hun werk en activiteiten, maar ze leren ook veel door medestudenten te beoordelen. De brochure is gebaseerd op ervaringen die de auteurs hebben opgedaan in het SURF-project Peer Review Online Opschalen en Faciliteren (PROOF).
Dit tweejarige project richtte zich op het invoeren van online vormen van peer beoordeling in cursussen. Het toenemend aantal online software systemen dat specifiek voor peer beoordeling gemaakt is vormde de aanleiding voor dit project."

Geschiedenis van de reference manager
Trading Knowledge, de Nature blog verzorgd door Frank Norman, bericht in "From Sci-Mate to Mendeley" over de geschiedenis van de reference managers. Wikipedia biedt daarnaast een fraaie vergelijking van de diverse systemen.
Internet en het brein
Open Culture publiceert een interessant interview met Nicholas Carr, auteur van onder meer "Is Google making us stupid?" uit 2008 en recent van "The Shallows: What the Internet Is Doing to Our Brains?" over de cognitieve en culturele consequenties van Internetgebruik.

Weblectures
Interessante master thesis van E.L. de Moel getiteld "Expanding
the usability of recorded lectures. A new age in teaching and classroom instruction".
"At present, Delft University of Technology records around 10% of their lectures. This number is expected to increase in the following years. Having these recorded lectures opens the door to all kinds of new ideas and improvements for their educational program. At this moment they employ a video streaming system called Collegerama, which allows viewers with an active Internet connection to watch their lectures online. It combines a video stream of the lecturer with a series of screenshots of the accompanying PowerPoint slides.
The main research question for this project is: “How can we efficiently and effectively present recorded lectures and course material to students at universities?” This can be divided into three sub-questions:
• How can we increase the accessibility and availability of the recorded lectures in Collegerama?
• How can we make recorded lectures easier to follow, especially for foreign speaking students?
• How can we effectively and efficiently navigate and search within recorded lectures?"

Places & Spaces: Mapping science
Places & Spaces: Mapping Science "is meant to inspire cross-disciplinary discussion on how to best track and communicate human activity and scientific progress on a global scale. It has two components: the physical part supports the close inspection of high quality reproductions of maps for display at conferences and education centers; the online counterpart provides links to a selected series of maps and their makers along with detailed explanations of how these maps work. The exhibit is a 10-year effort. Each year, 10 new maps are added resulting in 100 maps total in 2014".
50 maps zijn inmiddels beschikbaar, verdeeld over 5 thema's:
*The power of maps
*The power of reference systems
*The power of forecasts
*Science maps for economic decision makers
*Science maps for science policy makers
De volgende thema's mogen we de komende jaren verwachten: Science maps for scholars, Science maps as visual interfaces to digital libraries, Science maps for kids, Science maps for daily science forecasts en tenslotte Telling lies with science maps.
