Abstract:
Since the MIT OCW program was started in 2002, the OCW movement and idea have spread to many different countries and linguistic contexts. Wonderful innovation, production and research is happening in different countries, and often published in different languages. For the OCW and OER movements to progress, it is imperative that we be able to learn from each other, and bridge these linguistic barriers.
China has been one of the most aggressive adopters of the OCW idea. Not only is China Open Resources for Education (CORE) coordinating efforts to translate MIT OCW into Chinese, but the Chinese Ministry of Education has since 2003 been operating a national OCW program called China Quality OpenCourseWare (精品课程). Chinese universities submit proposals, and can receive between $7,300 and $14,600 per course that is made freely available online. By 2007, there were already over 1,100 courses available online, many of these with extensive resources, and video recordings.
In addition to this large-scale production OCW, the Chinese scholarly community has also been prolific in researching and publishing about the program. The China Academic Journals database, which provides the full text of over 7,000 Chinese scholarly articles, lists 2,137 articles with the term 精品课程 (China Quality OCW), of which 421 were published in 2008. In numbers, this is roughly equivalent to all the scholarly publication that mention OCW in English and other Latin languages in total - however, the story becomes even more impressive when initial sampling shows that most of the Chinese articles listed mention OCW in their title, and have OCW as their main topic, whereas many of the English language publications are writing about broader issues, and only refer to OCW in passing.
I am currently conducting a research project on this wealth of literature. Initially I will try to provide a broad grouping of the Chinese articles on OCW, provide statistics on number of articles in each group (for example: articles that describe the process of producing individual OCW courses, articles that present surveys on student usage, etc), and in what kind of journals these articles appear. My ultimate objective is not only to gain a good understanding of the state of research around the Chinese Quality OCW program, but also identify specific journal articles that provide theoretical models, methodological approaches or accounts of experiences that are very relevant and useful to the North-American research on OER and OCW.
In my presentation, I will give a brief overview of the history and current state of China Quality OpenCourseWare, how it is funded, produced, and used, and also how it interacts with the Chinese translations of for example MIT OCW. I will give an overview over the “state of research”, both in terms of poignant research questions, methodologies and also relevant findings, from the Chinese context. I will also argue for a more integrated research roadmap for OCWs in North America, that actively engages with researchers and the literature from around the world.
This document discusses the issue of trust and identity in the virtual world. It questions whether we can fully trust personal agencies and social media like Facebook, since virtual identities can be confusing and famous people have been impersonated online. It advises that we should not easily trust virtual identities and profiles, since identity play is possible for anyone online.

Overall, 7 out of 10 Koreans reported trusting business less than the previous year, with major declines in the financial, automotive, and healthcare sectors. However, trust in NGOs remained relatively high in Korea. Technology remained the most trusted industry globally and in Korea, while US, Chinese, and other companies saw major drops in trust.
Profeten Muhammeds (og velsignelse være med ham Guds fred) liv
Foreldreløs som 6-åring Muhammed (og velsignelse være med ham Guds fred ) var en araber fra Hashem- klanen i Quraish- stammen. Han ble født i Mekka omkring 570. Han kjente ikke sin far , Abdullah, som døde rett før hans fødsel, og hans mor Amina , døde , da han var seks år. Det foreldreløse barn ble oppdraget av sin bestefar, en troende og vis stammeleder, og senere av onkelen Abu Talib, som var en rik kjøpmann. Den unge Muhammed (og velsignelse være med ham Guds fred ) arbeidet som hyrde; senere tok hans onkel han med på hans handlereiser. Han ble kjent for sin enestående ærlighet, vennlighet og klokskap. Den rike enke Khatija la merke til hans gode egenskaper og ansatte ham til å lede handelsfirma hennes. Muhammed (og velsignelse være med ham Guds fred) levde i en tid med stor forfall, hvor de arabiske stammer tilbad mange avguder ved det gamle tempel i Mekka, som kalles Kaaba. De trodde at gudene i Kaabaen ville ødelegge høsten eller forårsake tørke og sykdom , hvis de ikke ofret til dem. Det var da ikke alle som trodde på flere guder, eller at figurer av tre og stein hadde noen som helst kraft. De betraktet den slags som overtro og mente tvert imot , at det kun finnes en Gud . Muhammed(og velsignelse være med ham Guds fred) tilhørte til denne gruppen, som araberne kaller hanif. Muhammed (og velsignelse være med ham Guds fred ) blir profet Muhammed (og velsignelse være med ham Guds fred) trakk seg ofte tilbake for å be og tenke . Han foretrakk ensomhet i bergene omkring Mekka og ble der av og til i dagevis. En dag viste en engel seg for ham. Det var Gabriel ( arabisk: Djibril), Guds sendebud. Gabriel sa til ham at det kun var en Gud , som het Allah og at Gabriel var hans sendebud. Muhammed (og velsignelse være med ham Guds fred ) ble veldig redd og trodde han ble sinnssyk . Men da han kom hjem , lyttet Khatija på ham og overbeviste ham om , at det virkelig var Guds sendebud , og at Muhammed (og velsignelse være med ham Guds fred) var blitt kalt til å være profet. Muhammed (og velsignelse være med ham Guds fred) var ikke den første profet.

Village Relocation in Mali, West Africa: 4 yrs after the move summarizes the relocation of villages in Mali to make way for gold mining operations between 1996-2000. Over 3000 people from villages including Sadiola, Farabakouta, and Niamboulama were resettled into new villages built by the mining companies. Monitoring reviews found issues with water supply, maintenance responsibilities, and dust from roads near the new Sadiola village 4 years post-relocation. The conclusion recognizes resettlement as a major undertaking with significant costs and psychological impacts on communities.

The Path of Faith
(Abdul Majid Aziz al-Zindani)
Faith Increases with Acts of Obedience
When faith is firm in your heath you will feel the eagerness to do good deeds creeping into you, and you embark upon good deeds and purify your intention for your Lord you will find that your faith increases. If you come across any matter which baffles you then seek the help of other sincere believers and you will overcome your difficulty by Allah’s leave. But beware of being a help for those who are corrupt and stick to your Lord’s command: “Help ye one another unto righteousness and pious duty. Help not one another unto sin and transgression, but keep your duty to Allah. Lo! Allah is severe in punishment.” (5:2)

This document discusses using OpenFlow to enable software-defined networking for wireless networks. It describes connecting wireless access points as OpenFlow ports and using an OpenFlow controller to programmatically manage radio coverage, load balancing, and QoS. It notes key differences from wired OpenFlow, such as the inability to control multicast/broadcast traffic at the access point. It also provides an overview of Linux wireless netdevice types (managed, AP, monitor modes) and how they could map to OpenFlow ports. The goal is to use this approach with Stratosphere experiments to implement wireless sensor networking and tracking applications.
This document discusses 802.11 wireless frames that could be matched and processed using OpenFlow. It describes the different types of 802.11 frames including data, control, and management frames. It provides details on management frame subtypes and fixed and variable fields. It also discusses action frames and their categories. Finally, it suggests that using OpenFlow could simplify wireless packet flows compared to configuring multiple bridges as is currently done with the hostapd wireless access point software.
This document introduces gopenflow, an OpenFlow switch implementation written in Go (golang). It was created to introduce vendor extensions and learn the OpenFlow specification in detail.

Skype uses a peer-to-peer (P2P) architecture where Skype instances act as both servers and clients. The document outlines the Skype APIs available for Windows, Linux, and MacOS X, including Skype4Com for Windows, Cocoa and Carbon for MacOS X, and communication layers for X11 and D-BUS on Linux. It also lists versions of Skype for each operating system and languages supported by APIs like Skype4Java and Skype4Py.
The document discusses several PHP directives related to file uploading: post_max_size specifies the maximum size of the entire request, upload_max_filesize limits the size of individual uploaded files, and memory_limit affects the buffer used to decode the request. Satisfying the memory limit is important for file uploads, but unrelated to the maximum file sizes. post_max_size should be greater than upload_max_filesize multiplied by the number of files and a factor of 1.3.
