LJ Carbon's curator insight, September 9, 2015 1:01 PM

Apple is hiring people to predict what you're thinking and are alsotrying to improve siri with this method also. It doesn't really affect me because I don't have an iPhone, I use an android just because I prefer Google over Apple. I agree with the thought of this, but disagree with them trying to go against Google, because Google is the more superior program.

Juliana Elisa Raffaghelli's curator insight, April 3, 2015 5:22 AM

La didattica a porte chiuse sembra essere finita. Attraverso una piccola finestra video, lo studente può "guardare" oltre, per apprendere autonomamente. Ma la cosa interessante è che chi apprende lo fa con un'idea, più o meno precisa, del proprio bisogno formativo, delle proprie necessità per raggiungere degli obiettivi di apprendimento personali.
