Ars magna lucis et umbrae
100 modern day ‘magic lanterns’ grouped in a series of narrative sequences and photographic tableaux are
distributed unevenly throughout the cavernous space of the former church. Two types of images are projected.
The first type are from the collection of images that Mark Ingham has been using for the past few years in his
research. These images will occupy the smaller rectangular space at the end of the church. The second type of
image will use photographs taken over recent months of th

Le rôle du scénario pédagogique dans l'analyse d'une formation à distance Analyse d'un scénario
Le scénario est un outil qui se révèle particulièrement utile lors de la conception d'une formation en ce sens qu'il offre l'opportunité de déterminer les activités d'apprentissage qui seront proposées et de définir leur articulation dans le dispositif (scénario d'apprentissage) mais également de décrire les actions qui seront menées par les différents acteurs, enseignants ou apprenants (scénario d'encadrement). Le scénario constitue à ce titre un élément sur lequel il peut Ã
Modèles de soutien à l'élaboration de scénarios

A bootstrapping scenario for elicitating CSCL services within a GRID virtual community
Amongst the various eLearning techniques, Computer Supported Collaborative Learning (CSCL) is of growing interest within the academic world. However, during the first phase of the EleGI project, a noticable fact has been the difficulty to match the user needs with the potentiality of the GRID services.
Thus, through a fictive scenario, this article proposes to walk the path between the idea of creating a new virtual community and the realisation of this objective. This scenario takes the situat

Systems Support for Collaborative Learning
One of the distinguishing features of novel network based learning environments is their capability to support group work and collaboration. TAGS, the Tutor and Groups Support Scheme, is an inter-disciplinary, inter-institutional project, which brings together software systems builders, subject-specialists and educational content developers. Collaborative Learning is central to the pedagogical goals of TAGS, and this has lead to the concept of groups being used as a fundamental organising princi
Kaleidoscope JEIRP on Learning Patterns for the Design and Deployment of Mathematical Games: Final R
Over the last few years have witnessed a growing recognition of the educational
potential of computer games. However, it is generally agreed that the process of
designing and deploying TEL resources generally and games for mathematical
learning specifically is a difficult task. The Kaleidoscope project, "Learning patterns
for the design and deployment of mathematical games", aims to investigate this
problem. We work from the premise that designing and deploying games for
mathematical learning re

"Defending Greenwood": A Survivor Recalls the Tulsa Race Riot of 1921
The post-World War I period in the United States saw devastating race riots around the nation: in small cities and in larger ones. But the Tulsa race riot in 1921 was perhaps the worst. Sparked by the supposed sexual assault of a white woman by a young black man, white Tulsa residents went on a twenty-four-hour rampage which resulted in the death of anywhere from 75 to 250 people and the burning of more than 1,000 black homes and businesses. Yet the African-Americans of Tulsa were not passive vi

Frustration versus Fantasy: How the Movies Made Some People Restless
Fears about the impact of movies on youth led to the Payne Fund research project, which brought together nineteen social scientists and resulted in eleven published reports. One of the most fascinating of the studies was carried out by Herbert Blumer, a young sociologist who would later go on to a distinguished career in the field. For a volume that he called Movies and Conduct (1933), Blumer asked more than fifteen hundred college and high school students to write "autobiographies"of their expe
