OER champions the sharing of knowledge worldwide to increase human intellectual capacity and can best be understood as the open sharing of educational content, enabled by tools (such as the World Wide Web) and defined by standards (such as Creative Commons), for use and adaptation by the global community of educators and learners. OpenCourseWare (OCW), a critical component of the OER movement, is defined as a free, publicly accessible, and openly licensed digital resource that offers high quality learning materials structured around courses and presented in a reasonably consistent format. An OCW is a publication of course materials created by faculty to support teaching and learning. For any given course, the published materials should fully convey the parameters of the course?s subject matter and ideally represent a substantially complete set of all the materials used in the course. For many educators and learners in the developing world, up-to-date material in science and technology is in particularly short supply. The value in openly sharing quality OCW resources is that they foster the process of educational change, as societies seek to bring their educational institutions into the Knowledge Age. The use of external resources for educational improvement is not a new idea ? colleges and universities all over the world are accustomed to using publications from many sources, facilitating exchanges involving students and faculty, and seeking information via the Internet. The OCW Movement, however, takes the principle of sharing and cross- institutional exchange to the next level, enabling open access to a vast library of high-quality educational materials in key curricular areas from a wide array of institutions all over the world. Outcomes The intended outcomes for the event are that participating institutions and organizations: ? Develop a common understanding of OCW and the broader OER movement; ? Enhance their awareness of the growing international body of OCW resources; and ? Find effective ways to adapt and use OCW materials for teaching and learning, and ultimately raise the general standard of global higher education. In addition, an intended outcome for the event is to emphasize the importance of open sharing of educational materials as a critical component of the Plan of Action.

It's very exciting that the group will have an opportunity to air its views during the plenary. I would suggest that we review the major points made by the group in previous statements at the prepcoms; the points we raised then are just as valid now. For example, I think it's important we acknowledge the need for more open courseware initiatives, as well as encourage the further development of open access scientific journals like Public Library of Science (PLoS). We should also emphasize how vital education is to the major issues being tackled at WSIS. For example, Bridging the digital divide is meaningless unless people have the range of 21st century skills, from basic literacy to ICT literacy to media literacy - to take full advantage of these technologies. Technology proliferation without education otherwise could mean that less-educated populations can be victimised by ICTs while missing out on the benefits as well. andy Meigs wrote: > Dear friends of the list > I have two pieces of news: > > -1) I have been selected as one of the speakers for the plenary sessions and > i wanted to thank you all for your support.

Message-ID: ANNONCE DU LANCEMENT PROCHAIN DE LA CHARTE INTERNATIONALE DES CHERCHEURS L'Association Internationale pour les Etudes et Recherches en Information-communication (AIERI/IAMCR) se pr?pare ? lancer ? Tunis la Charte des Chercheurs ci-dessous et en attach?, apr?s en avoir fait la pr?sentation lors de son ?v?nement parall?le lors de la prepcom3. Nous avons besoin de VOTRE SOUTIEN, en tant qu'individu, ONG, famille ou groupe de travail, pour signer la charte et la diffuser le plus largement possible. Veuillez prendre quelques minutes de votre temps ? lire les principes et les actions de suivi avant d'aller ? l'adresse suivante pour la signature de soutien: http://www.PetitionOnline.com/iamcr/ Si vous souhaitez plus d'informations, n'h?sitez pas ? visiter le site de l'AIERI: < iamcr.net> Divina Frau-Meigs Texte int?gral de la Charte ci-dessous et en attach?: Charte internationale des chercheurs pour les soci?t?s du savoir?: une contribution de la AIERI au SMSI Dans le monde, l'activit? de recherche est confront?e ? des budgets en chute et ? un contr?le de production croissant ?manant d?un grand nombre d?acteurs, dont les gouvernements, alors que les chercheurs sont soumis ? des changements d?l?t?res sans pr?c?dents de leur statut, leur salaire et l?ind?pendance de leurs recherches. Le Sommet Mondial sur la Soci?t? de l?Information (SMSI) a contribu? ? encourager la discussion internationale sur le besoin d?acc?der librement et de mani?re ?gale aux moyens de communication et aux contenus d'informations. L?importance de l?information issue d?une recherche de haute qualit? en sciences humaines et en sciences n?a cependant pas ?t? suffisamment mise en valeur pendant le sommet. Ce dernier n?a pas mis l?accent sur le r?le central jou? par les chercheurs dans la production d?informations, dans la promotion d?une meilleure compr?hension des m?dias et des syst?mes de technologie de l?information et de la communication (TIC), ainsi que de leur contenu et fonctions, dans le d?veloppement d?un contenu culturellement pertinent et dans l?encouragement de la communication dans le but d?acc?der ? des Soci?t?s du Savoir int?grantes et centr?es sur les personnes. C?est pourquoi l?Association Internationale des Etudes et Recherches sur l?Information (AIERI) appelle tous les chercheurs du monde ? adh?rer aux principes et aux recommandations d?action de la Charte des Chercheurs suivante?: Principes de la charte?: 1. Les chercheurs du monde entier constituent une communaut? de savants qui est essentielle pour d?velopper des soci?t?s dans lesquelles le savoir, l?information et la culture sont produits en ad?quation au service de l?humanit? et dans laquelle les chercheurs ont le droit de chercher, de r?tablir, de recevoir et de diffuser l?information librement, sans consid?rer les fronti?res g?ographiques, les id?ologies, les int?r?ts ni le support utilis?, soutenu par l??change d?informations permis par les TIC?; 2. Le travail des chercheurs devrait ?tre men? dans des conditions de travail reconnaissant que la recherche est d?terminante pour la production du savoir, ainsi que pour le d?veloppement intellectuel et que les contributions des chercheurs au savoir sont importantes pour obtenir une meilleure compr?hension entre les peuples, les cultures, les religions et les traditions disciplinaires?; 3. Les chercheurs devraient avoir le droit ? la libert? intellectuelle et ? une ?valuation transparente de leurs r?sultats par des organismes publics ind?pendants et l?gitimes?; ? s'exprimer aussi librement que possible ? l?aide de tous les medias et TIC, sans censure ni limitation de la diffusion de leurs productions intellectuelles afin de maintenir et ?tendre le domaine public g?n?ral de la recherche, ainsi que pour am?liorer la capacit? ? contribuer ? la diversit? culturelle et assurer la participation ?clair?e de tous les citoyens aux activit?s sociales, culturelles et ?conomiques, promouvant ainsi un environnement d?mocratique ? tous les niveaux et dans tous les contextes?; 4. Les r?sultats de la recherche men?e gr?ce aux fonds publics devraient rester dans le domaine public afin de soutenir le d?veloppement, l??ducation et le bien-?tre de la population en g?n?ral?; les archives publiques, les biblioth?ques, les d?p?ts de contenu, ainsi que les autres services Internet et d?informations du monde devraient ?tre librement accessibles aux chercheurs?; 5. Le libre ?change universel du travail intellectuel parmi les chercheurs devrait ?tre consid?r? comme particuli?rement important pour maintenir l?ordre d?mocratique?; il contribue ? construire la capacit? au d?veloppement ?quitable, au d?passement des diff?rences de sexe et d??ducation, notamment en ce qui concerne les chercheurs femmes et junior (particuli?rement dans les pays en d?veloppement) et dans l'acc?s ? d'autres ressources essentielles pour le d?veloppement?; il doit ?tre consid?r? comme un bien commun et nourri comme un processus de participation ?thique et collectif impliquant un r?seau de travail intellectuel diffus? qui contribue ? la capacit? de construction ? long terme, au soutien des droits de l?homme dans tous les champs de l?activit?s humaines?; 6. Des pratiques d?apprentissage et de recherche culturellement adapt?es devraient ?tre d?velopp?es pour encourager les syst?mes de recherche autofinanc?s et bas?s sur la communaut??; pour promouvoir des mod?les de publications en collaboration, auto organis?s et ouverts, et des m?thodes de d?veloppement de logiciels accessibles aux chercheurs et disponibles dans des bases de donn?es, des biblioth?ques et des archives ? but non lucratif, soutenant ainsi les chercheurs en tant que producteurs de contenu et participants actifs ? un paradigme d?acc?s ouvert ? la cr?ation et ? l??change du savoir, comme cela a ?t? soulign? lors de diverses initiatives. Mettre la charte en place?: a. L?AIERI invite tous les chercheurs, y compris les ?ducateurs, ainsi que les professionnels de l?informatique et de l?information, ? adh?rer aux principes ci-dessus en signant cette Charte. b. L?AIERI invite les chercheurs ? renforcer les opportunit?s de coop?ration et d??change et ? encourager la communication dans tous les secteurs de la soci?t?, afin de promouvoir une meilleure compr?hension du r?le et de la pertinence de la recherche et du savoir, ainsi que de leur vaste diffusion dans la soci?t? en mobilisant les d?cideurs du monde entier pour d?velopper des politiques claires et mettre en place les principes ci-dessus. c. L?AIERI recommande la cr?ation d?un Organisme de Plainte des Chercheurs international et ind?pendant o? les chercheurs peuvent consigner leurs plaintes relatives aux violations des principes ci-dessus et des normes ?thiques et recevoir une ?coute objective?; un tel organisme devrait ?tre mandat? pour rendre les cas et les noms publics des administrations et des gouvernements qui violent ces principes. Signer cette Charte?: L?AIERI invite les principales personnalit?s du monde qui soutiennent ces principes, mais aussi les individus ? signer cette Charte sur le site de l?AIERI ? www.iamcr.net ? et ? largement diffuser cette Charte.

AIERI ? IAMCR) a la Cumbre Mundial de la Sociedad de la Informaci?n-. En todo el mundo, la investigaci?n acad?mica se ve desafiada por presupuestos decrecientes y a la vez un incremento del control de los resultados por una variedad de actores entre los que se incluye a los gobiernos, mientras que los investigadores est?n siendo sometidos a cambios perjudiciales y sin precedentes en su status, salarios e independencia de sus investigaciones. La Cumbre Mundial de la Sociedad de la Informaci?n (CMSI) ha ayudado a promover debates en todo el planeta, sobre la necesidad de alcanzar un acceso igualitario y sin trabas a los medios de comunicaci?n y al contenido informativo. Sin embargo, la importancia de la informaci?n emanada de la investigaci?n de alta calidad en las ciencias b?sicas y las humanidades no ha sido suficientemente enfatizada durante la Cumbre. No se ha enfatizado el rol central que tienen los investigadores para producir informaci?n, para promover un mejor conocimiento de los sistemas de medios y de tecnolog?as de la comunicaci?n y la informaci?n (TCI), as? como de su contenido y funciones, en el desarrollo de contenidos culturalmente relevantes, y en promover la comunicaci?n en el logro de Sociedades del Conocimiento inclusivas y centradas en el ser humano. Es por ello, que la Asociaci?n Internacional de Estudios de Comunicaci?n Social (AIECS ? AIERI ? IAMCR) llama a los investigadores de todo el mundo a suscribir los siguientes principios y recomendaciones de acci?n de la Carta de los Investigadores: Principios de la Carta 1. Los investigadores de todo el mundo constituyen una comunicad acad?mica que es central para el desarrollo de sociedades en las que el conocimiento, la informaci?n y la cultura son producidos y apropiados en beneficio de la humanidad y en las que los investigadores tienen derecho a buscar, recuperar, recibir y distribuir informaci?n libremente, sin distinci?n de fronteras geogr?ficas, ideol?gicas y de intereses, del medio usado, soportados por el intercambio de informaci?n permitido por las TCI: 2. El trabajo de los investigadores deber?a ser propiciado por condiciones de trabajo que reconozcan que la investigaci?n es crucial para la producci?n del conocimiento y el desarrollo intelectual, y que las contribuciones al conocimiento son significativas para alcanzar un mejor entendimiento entre las personas, las culturas, las religiones y las tradiciones disciplinares. 3. Los investigadores deber?an tener derecho a la libertad intelectual y a una evaluaci?n transparente de los resultados alcanzados en su trabajo por entes p?blicos independientes y legitimados; a expresarse tan libremente como sea posible sin ning?n tipo de censura o restricci?n a la distribuci?n de sus hallazgos intelectuales a trav?s de todos los medios y TCI, as? como a mantener y expandir el dominio p?blico de la investigaci?n y a promover la capacidad de contribuir a la diversidad cultural, tanto como a asegurar la participaci?n informada a todos los ciudadanos en actividades sociales, culturales y econ?micas, y con ello promover un entorno democr?tico en todos los niveles y en todos los contextos, 4. Los resultados de la investigaci?n financiada p?blicamente deben permanecer en el dominio p?blico para sostener el desarrollo, la educaci?n y el bienestar de la poblaci?n en general; los archivos p?blicos, almacenes de contenido, y otros servicios de Internet y de informaci?n en todo el mundo deben permanecer accesibles a los investigadores sin barreras de entrada; 5. El libre intercambio universal entre los investigadores de su trabajo intelectual debe ser respetado como un bien de importancia cr?tica para mantener un orden democr?tico; es integral para la capacidad de construir un desarrollo equitativo, para superar las diferencias en g?nero y entrenamiento, particularmente en relaci?n con las mujeres y los/as investigadores/as j?venes en los pa?ses en desarrollo, y en el acceso a otros recursos esenciales para el desarrollo; debe ser respetado como un bien com?n y alimentado como un proceso participativo, ?tico y colectivo que involucra una red de trabajo intelectual que contribuya a dar larga vida a la construcci?n de capacidades y soportar los derechos humanos en todos los ?mbitos de la actividad humana; 6. Las pr?cticas para el aprendizaje y la investigaci?n cultural apropiadas deben ser desarrolladas para estimular sistemas de investigaci?n auto-sostenidos y basados en la comunidad; para promover modelos de publicaci?n abiertos, colaborativos y auto-organizados, y m?todos de desarrollo de software que sean accesibles a los investigadores, y que est?n disponibles en bases de datos, bibliotecas, y archivos sin fines de lucro; para apoyar a los investigadores como productores de contenidos y como activos participantes en el paradigma de acceso abierto de creaci?n e intercambio de conocimiento, como ha sido sostenido por varias iniciativas[1] <#_ftn1> Para implementar la Carta: a. AIECS ? AIERI ? IAMCR invita a todos los investigadores a firmar esta Carta, incluyendo a los educadores y profesionales en computaci?n y ciencias de la informaci?n a adherir a los principios arriba mencionados. b. AIECS ? AIERI ? IAMCR invita a los investigadores a fortalecer las oportunidades de cooperaci?n e intercambio, y a promover la comunicaci?n con todos los sectores de la sociedad con el ?nimo de promover mayores niveles de entendimiento sobre el rol y la relevancia de la investigaci?n y el conocimiento, y de su amplia difusi?n en la sociedad, para movilizar a quienes toman decisiones en el mundo entero a desarrollar pol?ticas claras para implementar estos principios. c. AIECS ? AIERI ? IAMCR recomienda el establecimiento de un Consejo Internacional Independiente para atender los reclamos de los investigadores, donde estos puedan presentar sus quejas sobre violaciones a los principios arriba se?alados y a los est?ndares ?ticos, cuando reciban una atenci?n no equitativa; este Consejo debe tener mandato para realizar casos p?blicos y a publicitar a las administraciones universitarias y gobiernos que violen estos principios. Para firmar la Carta: AIECS ? AIERI ? IAMCR invita a las organizaciones mundiales l?deres y a individuos a que apoyen estos principios firmando esta Carta en la p?gina web de AIECS ? AIERI ? IAMCR ?www.iamcr.net- y a divulgar ampliamente esta Carta.

Indeed leading scientists and scholars in the developing world, particularly Fellows of the leading Academies, should produce high quality online educational materials at all levels (school, college and unversity) not only in English or French but also in their own languages. A few weeks ago I was with two outstanding Indian physicists (both of whom are not only known for their research but also as great teachers and men of high integrity). Both were concerned about the poor quality of school science textbooks produced by a government agency and widely used in the Indian school system. Both have children in school (or college) and they find the books have plenty of mistakes and the teachers are not up to mark, and when they want to intervene the children do not allow them for fear of being failed in the exam by their teachers! I suggest that these professors and others like them should collectively produce good online educational material and make them available via open access portals. Very similar to the MIT course ware, but in our own languages. The Indian Academy of Sciences has a programme for improving education at school and college level and they do select a certain number of teachers every year to spend a few months in a good laboratory with Fellows of the Academy. The Academy may come forward to set up an open course ware programme for school and college level science courses. About a month ago I spoke to young assistant professors of biology at a premier Indian higher educational institutions, and bioth of them readily agreed to contribute to such a programme. A few days ago I was returning from Delhi and a leading Indian condensed matter theorist was on the same flight. He told me that of late he had started writing popular science articles in science in his mother tongue (Tamil) and he gave me an article he had written on Einstein. It was superb. We need many more such articles written by many mre people and all of them should be made available free on open access portals. Best wishes. Arun [Subbiah Arunachalam] ----- Original Message ----- From: Brendan Barrett To: Edu Mailinglist Sent: Wednesday, November 09, 2005 7:07 AM Subject: [WSIS Edu] WSIS Parallel Event on Open Educational Resources - 14November 2005 World Summit on the Information Society Tunis, Tunisia, 16-18 November 2005 Parallel Event on Widening Access to Knowledge through Open Sharing: The Growing OpenCourseWare Movement 14 November 2005 Monday, 14 November 2005, 15.00-19.00 Saint Augustin Conference Room, Kram Expo Centre Background The term Open Educational Resources (OER) was first coined and adopted at UNESCO?s 2002 Forum on the Impact of OpenCourseWare for Higher Education in Developing Countries. OER champions the sharing of knowledge worldwide to increase human intellectual capacity and can best be understood as the open sharing of educational content, enabled by tools (such as the World Wide Web) and defined by standards (such as Creative Commons), for use and adaptation by the global community of educators and learners. OpenCourseWare (OCW), a critical component of the OER movement, is defined as a free, publicly accessible, and openly licensed digital resource that offers high quality learning materials structured around courses and presented in a reasonably consistent format. An OCW is a publication of course materials created by faculty to support teaching and learning. For any given course, the published materials should fully convey the parameters of the course?s subject matter and ideally represent a substantially complete set of all the materials used in the course. For many educators and learners in the developing world, up-to-date material in science and technology is in particularly short supply. The value in openly sharing quality OCW resources is that they foster the process of educational change, as societies seek to bring their educational institutions into the Knowledge Age. The use of external resources for educational improvement is not a new idea ? colleges and universities all over the world are accustomed to using publications from many sources, facilitating exchanges involving students and faculty, and seeking information via the Internet. The OCW Movement, however, takes the principle of sharing and cross-institutional exchange to the next level, enabling open access to a vast library of high-quality educational materials in key curricular areas from a wide array of institutions all over the world. Outcomes The intended outcomes for the event are that participating institutions and organizations: ? Develop a common understanding of OCW and the broader OER movement; ? Enhance their awareness of the growing international body of OCW resources; and ? Find effective ways to adapt and use OCW materials for teaching and learning, and ultimately raise the general standard of global higher education. In addition, an intended outcome for the event is to emphasize the importance of open sharing of educational materials as a critical component of the Plan of Action.

Le r?le du d?veloppement de normes en ?ducation et en formation pour appuyer la construction d?une Soci?t? de la connaissance partag?e Pr?sident : Lassi Nirhamo - Finlande Mod?rateur : Rolf Lindner ? Allemagne Actuellement, c?est dans les pays du Nord que le march? de l?enseignement ? distance (EAD) est le plus d?velopp?, essentiellement en Am?rique du Nord (90 % du march?), mais c?est certainement dans les pays du Sud ou dans les pays ? zones d?habitat fortement dispers? (Canada, Australie, ?) que l?EAD est le moyen de transmission du savoir le mieux adapt? et le plus n?cessaire. Dans le monde, il est possible de classer les pays, selon leurs degr?s de conscience, de compr?hension puis d?implication dans le processus de normalisation (1 : M?connaissance des normes ; 2 : D?couverte et usage passif ; 3 : Participation active : expression de ses imp?ratifs linguistiques et culturels). Ces m?canismes conditionnent largement le d?veloppement de l?EAD dans ces pays et en cons?quence leurs capacit?s futures ? atteindre les objectifs du plan d?action du SMSI. 11 h 45 Usages des standards d?interop?rabilit? dans la conception des supports p?dagogiques des formations ?

Le r?le des normes dans les aspects ?conomiques du d?veloppement durable Pr?sident : Renaud Fabre ? France Mod?rateur : Henri Hudrisier? France Dans un monde de circulation plan?taire des ressources, seuls les outils et les ressources d?enseignement normalis?s auront la possibilit? de r?sister. De plus, les communaut?s qui se seront inscrites dans les d?marches de co-d?veloppement mutuel seront pr?par?es ? affronter les nouvelles donnes de l??conomie du savoir. Les r?seaux r?gionaux, comme l?AEN (Asian E-learning Network), l?AUF, les r?seaux du Commonwealth, ceux de l?Am?rique latine seront ? m?me de r?sister. Ceux qui ne se seront pas inscrits dans cette d?marche de co-d?veloppement concert? auront beaucoup plus de difficult?s ? survivre. Les normes sont un facteur de d?veloppement durable des ressources p?dagogiques, elles permettent la transformation des ressources ?ducatives, leur circulation entre les plates-formes et elles assurent la p?rennit? du patrimoine ?ducatif.

La diversit? culturelle et linguistique Pr?sident : Mokhtar Ben Henda ?Tunisie / France Mod?rateur : Daniel Prado ? Union Latine Les langues et les cultures interf?rent profond?ment dans toute action d?enseignement. De la m?me fa?on que l?on ne commerce vraiment bien que dans la langue du client, de m?me on se rendra rapidement compte que l?on n?enseigne vraiment bien que dans la langue et dans la culture dominante de l?apprenant. Nous assistons actuellement ? une phase de prise de conscience de la puissance potentielle des communaut?s linguistiques (jusqu?ici trop souvent paralys?es dans leur vell?it? de d?veloppement par l??vidence de la domination unilingue). Dans le cadre de l?ISO notamment, on proc?de au d?veloppement de normes en appui ? la diversit? culturelle et linguistique. Ce d?ploiement de la diversit? linguistique et culturelle sera d?autant plus profitable qu?il pourra se faire en ?tant parall?lement accompagn? par une d?marche de prise en compte de ces diversit?s dans le processus normatif. Les technologies linguistiques sont actuellement parfaitement capables de cr?er des ressources multilingues interop?rables, ce qui permettra de les mutualiser et d??viter la cr?ation de trop nombreux doublons en diverses langues. Par contre, il reste de la responsabilit? de chaque culture de cr?er ses outils et d?optimiser ses ressources pour pr?server ses diversit?s culturelles et linguistiques. 17 h 00 Des terminologies multilingues associ?es au d?veloppement des normes du e-enseignement comme garantie d?une appropriation sociale ?largie et de la p?rennit? des investissements Henri Hudrisier - France 17h 15 Interop?rabilit? p?dagogique : la dynamique multilingue et multiculturelle d?une interm?diation francophone pour les pays ?mergents Mokhtar Ben Henda ?

Adama SAMASSEKOU (ACALAN, Mali) Roundtable Perspectives: Many international and national agencies have promoted ICTs for education (ICT4E), believing that ICTs will lead to a breakthrough in learning, and allow countries to ?leapfrog? in terms of social and economic development. Yet, much of the argument in support of such claims concerning the role of ICT4E in development is insufficiently grounded in rigorous empirical data, and many key ICT4E questions remain largely unanswered. If one adopts a pro-poor perspective, reaching those in the bottom third or half of society (the poorest of the poor) will be a very difficult challenge, demanding both increased innovation and serious research. The goals of the United Nations EFA/MDG efforts are very clear about the need to promote pro-poor approaches to gender, ?marginalized? populations (such as illiterate persons, ethno-linguistic minorities, refugees, people with disabilities), and those with special educational needs. Would the availability of equity-sensitive monitoring and evaluation (M&E) indicators work towards promoting greater inclusion of populations within the MDGs? This panel will explore trends in pro-poor innovations, while also taking into consideration advances in M&E within ICT4E. In this context, an overview will be provided of the just-released Monitoring and Evaluation for ICTs in Education: A Handbook for Developing Countries written by some of the contributors to this session and published by infoDev. -------------- next part -------------- Skipped content of type multipart/appledouble From gabi at bndjapan.org Sat Nov 12 16:01:12 2005 From: gabi at bndjapan.org (Gabi Hadl) Date: Sat Nov 12 16:55:55 2005 Subject: Topics for divina speech: media literacy (was: Re: [WSIS Edu] ) In-Reply-To: <43735669.4060903@edc.org> Message-ID: Chere Divina, (I'm not sure if I'm subscribed to edu caucus- pls forward if necessary) Felicitations! je pense aussi que l'education aux medias est tres importante.

Three points I would try to reflect (in addition to what andy noted): * media literacy education: you can refer to the unesco grunwald declaration and Vienna recommendations (see quotes and references below), which assert that critical media education is primarily for civic ends, rather than for educating a workforce and creating more ICT consumers. * I would suggest to make it a strong statement against the neo-liberal paradigm that sees education as a 'service industry', knowledge as a commondity and reduces people to the roles of consumers and workers. * specifically, may try to point to the WTO- Hongkong ministerial meeting in december that will try to push further the 'liberalization' of "services," including education (!)- as a bargaining chip to close the doha round of negotiations on schedule. This will hobble education policies, including anything affirmed at WSIS. Note that the WTO has no mechanisms for re-regulating once an area is 'liberalized.'

En vain. Il essaye ses autres adresses. Les m?mes messages apparaissent : ?Veuillez v?rifier le nom?, ?impossible d'afficher la page?. Tout est verrouill?. Il ne peut pas plus consulter sa bo?te personnelle que celle de la Ligue tunisienne des droits de l'homme (LTDH) qu'il pr?side. Impossible ?galement de recevoir un appel t?l?phonique de l'?tranger. ?Et cela fait quinze jours que ?a dure?, d?clare-t-il. Dans la ville, cet avocat, d?fenseur des droits de l'homme, n'est pas le seul, loin de l?, dont les lignes se trouvent d'un seul coup ?en d?rangement?. Les grands noms de la soci?t? civile rencontrent la m?me impossibilit? ? communiquer avec l'ext?rieur. En Tunisie, ce n'est qu'une atteinte aux libert?s parmi d'autres. Le paradoxe tient au fait que ce m?me pays accueille ? partir de mercredi le Sommet mondial de l'information. De nombreux Tunisiens esp?raient quelques gestes d'ouverture ? la veille de cette grand-messe onusienne. Le r?gime de Zine el-Abidine Ben Ali n'a pas cess?, au contraire, de resserrer son ?tau comme s'il voulait souligner un peu plus l'incongruit? d'un tel ?v?nement sur son sol. Depuis la rentr?e, il a entrepris d'?touffer les rares espaces de libert?. La Ligue tunisienne des droits de l'homme a ?t? emp?ch?e de congr?s et tra?n?e en justice. Son pr?sident, Me Trifi, a ?t? pass? ? tabac, mardi soir, lors d'une manifestation ? Tunis. Les associations ind?pendantes de magistrats et de journalistes ont ?t? ?galement mises au pas ou interdites d'activit?. ?La Tunisie aurait pu abriter un sommet sur la femme, le planning familial, compte tenu de ses progr?s dans ces deux domaines, mais l'information, c'est absurde?, s'?crie Mohamed Charfi, l'une des figures les plus respect?es de l'opposition. Dans cette ?dictature de sous-pr?fecture?, les quotidiens pratiquent une langue de bois sans ?quivalent au Maghreb, la Libye de Kadhafi mise ? part. ?L'Etat demeure le garant essentiel de l'?galit? des chances et des libert?s?, proclamait, ? la une, la Presse, dans une de ses derni?res ?ditions, ? c?t? de l'in?vitable photo du ?Pr?sident Ben Ali?. Ceux qui tentent de briser le silence risquent gros. Sihem Bensedrine, r?dactrice en chef du journal en ligne Kalima, a ?t? incarc?r?e sept semaines en 2001 pour avoir accus? un juge et le beau-fr?re de Ben Ali de corruption. Elle continue de subir des campagnes de harc?lement. En mai, des journaux proches du pouvoir l'avaient en toute impunit? trait?e de ?vip?re haineuse? et de ?prostitu?e? louant ?son dos [subissant la sodomie] aux ?trangers et aux sionistes?. Gr?ve de la faim. Depuis le 18 octobre, sept personnalit?s tunisiennes observent une gr?ve de la faim pour r?clamer le respect des libert?s publiques et la lib?ration des quelque 400 prisonniers politiques. Simples d?mocrates, islamistes, marxistes, nationalistes panarabes, ils incarnent les multiples facettes de l'opposition au r?gime de Ben Ali et pour la premi?re fois pr?sentent un front uni autour de ce qu'ils appellent un ?Smic d?mocratique?. Pour le r?gime, il ne s'agit que d'une ?mise en sc?ne? pratiqu?e par de ?mauvais patriotes? qui tentent d'entacher l'image de la Tunisie. ?Effectivement, nous profitons de la proximit? de ce sommet qui est con?u comme une op?ration de prestige par le pouvoir pour donner une autre image, celle d'un pays d'oppression?, d?clare un gr?viste, avocat et ancien d?tenu politique, Samir Dilou. Le bureau qui leur sert de campement d?borde de visiteurs jusque dans la cage d'escalier. Plusieurs m?decins ont refus? d'ausculter les gr?vistes. ?Ils ont subi des pressions et ils ont peur. Ils risquent un redressement fiscal ou des ennuis avec la S?curit? sociale?, explique Rachid Khechana, r?dacteur en chef d'un hebdomadaire d'opposition ? la diffusion confidentielle, Al-Mawqef. Le locataire des lieux est, lui, menac? de poursuites pour ?d?tournement d'usage d'un local professionnel?. Brimades. En Tunisie, la r?pression prend souvent la forme de tracasseries, de brimades, de diffamations ? caract?re sexuel, de coups en douce, d'actes de vandalisme ou d'agressions physiques, sous couvert de vol. La voiture de Sana Ben Achour, du mouvement des Femmes d?mocrates, a ?t? d?truite il y a quelques mois, alors que sa maison est ?troitement surveill?e. Sihem Bensedrine, encore elle, a ?t? rou?e de coups en pleine rue, il y a un an. Internet, dont la gouvernance constitue l'un des sujets cl?s du sommet, est aussi ?troitement surveill?. ?Le service informatique du minist?re de l'Int?rieur est le meilleur de la Tunisie?, affirme une universitaire. ?Pr?s d'une vingtaine d'internautes sont actuellement emprisonn?s, souvent pour avoir simplement t?l?charg? un article ou l'avoir envoy? ? un ami?, d?clare Samir Ben Amor, un avocat, membre de la LTDH. Son mail est ?galement bloqu?. Et lorsqu'il se rend dans un cybercaf?, appel? ici Publinet, il doit, comme partout ailleurs, pr?senter sa disquette au g?rant. Il veut envoyer un communiqu? de la Ligue. ?Impossible?, lui r?pond le tenancier apr?s examen du document. La Tunisie peut se flatter du nombre de ses internautes (lire ci-dessous). ?Ils peuvent dire qu'ils ont surmont? la fracture num?rique, mais c'est une coquille en partie vide?, regrette un diplomate.

In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: <437DBA5E.8050307@nrc-cnrc.gc.ca> All, I ask consideration of the following text for inclusion in the Education part. I am open to editing. I already submitted this under a different section, but it does not conform to the structure of the document and has been dropped. I think it is most closely associated with the Education and Research section. Thanks, WJM === (2)Role of CS in evolving the production of ICT: So as to encourage social responsible evolution of information societies post-WSIS, the consultative and implementation processes of the ongoing CS mechanism make a proactive bi-lateral engagement between professional and academic communities most directly involved in the research, production, and design of ICT and constituencies. In addition, the CS mechanism will include as a part of its research function, community-based education and capacity-building in ICT design and development issues. CS will encourage support from all sectors for research and policies that improve the development of ICT for communities. CS will support an evolving set of ICT production principles, including: (a)Socially-aware design: The conception, design and use of ICT must originate from awareness of the social context in which they are to be used. (b)Anti-technophilia and anti-tecnofetishism: CS will not assume that digital or advanced ICT are the best solution to all problems. It will encourage the view that designers must be open to non-technical solutions to problems as well as solutions that make use of older ICT where appropriate; (c)Universal design: the design of ICT such that they can be used by the widest set of users, including: those with physical and cognitive disabilities, accounting for linguistic diversity; and accounting for other barriers. (d)Participatory design, implementation, and operation: ICT should be designed, created, and used through continous involvement of the user community. (e)Capacity building: Communities must develop their own capacity to design, create, and operate their own ICT. This includes the capacity to apply principles (2) (a) and (b) above.

Please find attached the press release ( French / English ) of ParisTech which is going to be a major contributor to bridge the digital divide concerning educational ressources. Please could you put the releases on the wsis-edu.org web site as a contribution from a member the Task Force.
