Apple stopped developing Java for OS X in late 2010 and no longer includes it as pre-installed software on new Macs. But for those who manually installed the plug-in, Apple has blocked Java 7 for now.

What will Personalized Learning look like in 2013? The main change that will happen in teaching and learning in 2013 will be about empowerment. Teachers and learners will be more empowered to take charge of their learning. We will see this through the evidence they share as they learn. Via Kathleen McClaskey, Barbara Bray

Interesting, in other ways this could also be seen as framing learning as a constant performance of assessment. Where do you draw the line ? Delete the scoop?

Higher education-- colleges and universities -- represent the ultimate knowledge organizations. These institutions of learning embody centers of knowledge creation, knowledge acquisition, sharing and ultimately, application for innovation. Students flock to these knowledge centers for learning and application of knowledge. Faculty and staff similarly invest their human capital in learning, applying, and creating new knowledge to benefit society and the world in many creative ways. A faculty also uses their unique expertise to transfer their knowledge to students in the classroom. Thus, it is intuitive that colleges and universities have extraordinary and vast resources in intellectual capital. Universities establish strategic plans to achieve their goals. However, these plans may not be successful if the needed resources are not available. Arguably, the most valuable resources in any University are the expertise of its faculty and staff; it’s intellectual capital. Therefore, if a University effectively measures and manages these valuable resources, it can more effectively create and deploy strategies to achieve its goals. This paper explores methods to effectively measure the intellectual capital in a university. It examines methodologies in the for-profit sector, creates analogies in the academic world, and then seeks to develop classifications which are meaningful in an academic environment. The employees working in these organizations don’t care that much anymore about having a job that implies working formally at the same desk; these persons are able to meet all the requirements in several work places; today, in a work place, the importance of traditional specifications of tasks to be performed has greatly diminished, as well as respecting a rigid time table, with exact hours.

Over the past decade, the rapidly growing realization of the importance of intangible assets and intellectual capital as a whole in the operation of organizations has led to the need to manage companies in a new way and to measure their performance in a new way.
In the business world where most of the organizational value is based on intangible assets, the ability to recognize and estimate the sources of this value has become vital for companies. In order to be able to manage intellectual assets we have to recognize where this value is coming from and how it is created in an organization. It has become very popular to define and study intellectual capital, and several authors have tried to define it in a unique way and propose their own measurement methods. Though the definitions of intellectual capital are all very similar, describing more or less the same source of intellectual assets, the approaches to measure them differ substantially. They differ primarily in the purpose of the measurement, where some methods are more appropriate for external communication and some for internal use. But what is common to all the methods is their difficult implementation in practice. There are several problems with the implementation of different measurement methods, such as the lack of necessary data, of accounting standards for intellectual capital, and of detailed method descriptions. Some of these limitations can be overcome by approximation, by subjective evaluation or simply by choosing a different method. The key elements have evolved through just being there, to physical capital dominated to organizational capital dominated and now to human capital dominated. It could be argued that agricultural and industrial societies required human capital too, however, in these societies the use of humans tended to be as extensions of machines rather than as assets employing the intellectual capital attributes of humans such as intellectual agility and creativity.
