Sounds of the Bazaar LIVE from Educamp

April 14th, 2009 by Graham Attwell

The coming weekend sees the third Educamp conference at Ilmenau in Germany. The Barcamp type conference will focus on Corporate Learning 2.0 and E-learning 2.0 in schools or universities including the use of e-portfolios, digital games and virtual worlds in education or the trends of mobile and micro-learning.

In line with the idea of a BarCamp, everyone is invited to propose their own topics for discussion.

Ilmenau is not the easiest place to get to! And there are many great events being held at the moment. But, if you cannot attend in person, ‘Sounds of the Bazaar’ will be broadcasting a live radio programme from the conference on Saturday 18 April at 1200 Central European Summer Time, 11.00 BST. I’m not quite sure who will be on the programme yet (after all it is a barcamp) but I am sure it is going to be a lot of fun. Helen Keegan will be cohosting the programme, Cristina Costa will be in the chatroom and Dirk Stieglitz will be testing out our fabulous new mixing deck and the two new wireless microphones!

To listen to the programme just click here and the stream will open in your MP3 player of choice. And of course we will release the podcast of the programme as soon as we can.

    Racial bias in algorithms

    From the UK Open Data Institute’s Week in Data newsletter

    This week, Twitter apologised for racial bias within its image-cropping algorithm. The feature is designed to automatically crop images to highlight focal points – including faces. But, Twitter users discovered that, in practice, white faces were focused on, and black faces were cropped out. And, Twitter isn’t the only platform struggling with its algorithm – YouTube has also announced plans to bring back higher levels of human moderation for removing content, after its AI-centred approach resulted in over-censorship, with videos being removed at far higher rates than with human moderators.

    Gap between rich and poor university students widest for 12 years

    Via The Canary.

    The gap between poor students and their more affluent peers attending university has widened to its largest point for 12 years, according to data published by the Department for Education (DfE).

    Better-off pupils are significantly more likely to go to university than their more disadvantaged peers. And the gap between the two groups – 18.8 percentage points – is the widest it’s been since 2006/07.

    The latest statistics show that 26.3% of pupils eligible for FSMs went on to university in 2018/19, compared with 45.1% of those who did not receive free meals. Only 12.7% of white British males who were eligible for FSMs went to university by the age of 19. The progression rate has fallen slightly for the first time since 2011/12, according to the DfE analysis.
