El viejo sueño de abarcar la sistematización del conocimiento y la utopía de la "bibioteca total" ha sido uno de los tópicos de filósofos, políticos (la Biblioteca de Alejandría) y pensadores hasta llegar al magnífico e irónico cuento de José Luis Borges, La biblioteca de Babel. Ahora, sin embargo, y adaptado al mundo internetizado en el que vivimos, aparece un genial documental, que se presentó en el Festival de SunDance también en Documenta, en Madrid, hace unas semanas.

The film raises some of the dilemmas about the possibility of encompass human knowledge in a simple way to transmit... Google and the world brain, trailer

"I liked" culture is not knowledge sharing!

One of the troubles of our digital environment is being superficial and avoiding to go deep with intelectual issues.

Young people trends to click the "I liked" button instead of having a conversation on Internet. Ideas exchange is more that saying I like the idea is just commenting it, redefining, using the idea to reconect some others and... trying to provide value to the community...




"I liked" is for voting a song, for providing support to a social idea or a book or something personal in the social business. However, it has extended use to any other particualr comment or idea expressed at Internet 2.0 aplications. Knowledge sharing and leveraging is more than that and it involves a generous contribution related to have a common understanding about a common idea or sharing some research in order to have feedback or...

So please, I beg you to contribute, not only to click "I liked"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Blogging and microblogging integration, #edcmooc

The very best of the course I have just finished at coursera platform, "E-learning and digital cultures" was, without doubt, the big intercation with other students and peers.

1. Blogging and microblogging interaction:

Benefit: it moves me to action from the frist moment, writing and participating in the community.

2. Personal blogs integration within the course:

Benefit: curiosity for other points of view, respecting diversity.

3. A lot of disccussion, forums and chatting in a big community provides us with a lot of thinking from the others:

Benefit: a real exchange withing different groups or teams that could have some  impact in the near future. We have created a group in LinkedIn: MOOCs en español, lets continue the conversation...
After the course, after hours...

Why not Utopia? A collegue in #edcmooc



Love this artefact from a collegue of my course in Digital Cultures. Human evolution and human education are not only conditioned by technology nowadays but also by biology. Sustainability must be linked to progress in all  main issues of life. Great job that makes reaction and reflection!!

The author´s main goal is "to complement the technology vission of the #edcmooc with at balance the bleak preponderance of dystopian visions of robots, borgs and machines by introducing the magic and awe of the science of biology."



The artefact adress a complementary idea to the course related to biology evolution and the intercation between biology and human, not only technology. It reflects a good undersatnding about posthuman digitalization and offers an interesting vission related to this pots-humanistic concept. Digital education in a biological world, all related, as a new key!

This artefact dont leaves the audience indifferent, it makes you thing about the main concept.
