MOT DU DIRECTEUR
Chers membres CIRTA,
Le temps des examens approche et chacun de nous doit être passablement occupé. Je voudrais tout de
même prendre le temps de vous rappeler que mercredi prochain je serai à Québec pour rencontrer l’équipe
Lavalloise et participer à la première rencontre de présentation des cellules institutionnelles.
Rencontre virtuelle de la cellule Université Laval
Réservez bien votre mercredi midi puisqu’à 12h30, vous pourrez participer à cette rencontre à partir de
votre poste de travail via le site suivant :
https://classevirtuelle.ulaval.ca/join_meeting.html?meetingId=1227022907103
Juste avant, à 11h00, je ferai une communication sur le CIRTA en 2008 et je discuterai avec les participants
sur les possibles arrimages entre les chercheurs et les acteurs-terrain impliqués dans le développement, la
mise en place, le soutien et de l’évaluation du recours aux technologies en éducation.
Mise à jour du site Web et bourses
Une opération de mise à jour des informations sur les membres est en cours et on vous invite à
communiquer avec Chantal pour l’informer des nouveaux projets de recherche, nouvelles publications et
des modifications à apporter à la liste de vos étudiants.
Dans cette lancée, le Comité de Coordination a décidé d’accorder à deux personnes une bourse pour leur
participation à l’avancement et à l’animation de notre réseau par l’entremise de notre site Web. Nous vous
reviendrons à ce propos des bourses dans le prochain bulletin puisqu’il reste quelques détails à régler avant
de pouvoir diffuser les noms des récipiendaires. Bonne semaine !

60 blogs en éducation
Thématique: The present post lists over sixty education blogs, an expansion and correction of earlier posts
"Thirty-two Education Blogs" and "Over Fifty Education Blogs." I have also indicated a few general
references to internet usage and blogging. But do blogs and blog lists contribute positively to the
dissemination of useful information? Responding to "Thirty-two Education Blogs," Anita Pincas
complained that few people have time to examine 32 blogs that keyword searches are not adequate for
"finding just what we need," and that "semantic web developments may help." Problems in finding just
what we need have recently been addressed by physicist Michael Nielsen, who argues that the internet
offers us the first majo opportunity to create: (a) a collective *long-term* working memory such as the
physics preprint arXiv <http://arxiv.org/> to replace the antiquated journal system, and (b) a collective
*short-term* working memory for the rapid collaborative development of ideas. Are blogs and discussion
lists harbingers of the latter?

CALL FOR PAPERS - IADIS INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE MOBILE LEARNING 2009
Titre: IADIS INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE MOBILE LEARNING 2009
Organisateur: Mobile Learning 2009 Program Chair: Inmaculada Arnedillo Sánchez, Trinity College
Dublin, Ireland
Thématique: User Created Content & Mobile Technologies: From Consumers to Creators bypassing the
Learning opportunity? Over the past three years Mobile and Social technologies have featured strongly in
the Horizon Report series which examines emerging technologies likely to have an impact on teaching,
learning. Mobile devices have progressed from an adoption projection of two to three years in 2006, to a
much more imminent adoption prediction trajectory of a year or less in 2008. Whether earlier the
educational value of mobile technologies was thought to be delivery of content to people’s devices, the
emphasis now has clearing changed to focus on their capabilities that enable users creating and sharing
content.

FINAL CALL FOR PAPERS: Special Issue Journal of Educational Technology & Society
Titre: Special Issue Journal of Educational Technology & Society - "Technology-Support for Self
Organized Learners"
Éditeurs: Marco Kalz & Rob Koper, Centre for Learning Sciences and Technologies (CELSTEC), Open
University of the Netherlands
Thématique: Self-organized learning covers ways of learning, which allow learners- in comparison to
traditional educational scenarios- a major dimension of self-determination and self-regulation: self
regulated learning is a self-initiated action that involves goal setting and regulating one's efforts to reach the
goal. Nowadays this way of learning is increasingly supported by interactive learning environments,
semantically enhanced content and social software (e.g. Wikis, Weblogs, ePortfolios, Social Bookmarks,
Social networks like YouTube, FaceBook, Flickr). Self-organized learning is a pre-requisite in learning
situations in which individuals have primary responsibility for the planning, the performance and
evaluation of learning activities in order to develop their competences in certain areas.

OFFRES D’EMPLOIS
Offre d’emploi : Instructional designer and Senior Instrutional Designer
Entreprise: Michigan Virtual University (MVUR)
Description: Michigan Virtual University (MVUR) has two full-time positions open, an Instructional
Designer and a Senior Instructional Designer. These are full-time positions at its Lansing office.
The instructional designer in either position is to provide guidance and assistance to team members in the
course development process (analysis, design, production, implementation and evaluation), in a manner
that promotes sound instructional design principles. The instructional designer will use production tools
such as Dreamweaver, Audacity, ArticulateR and Adobe FlashR for course elements that team members
cannot develop, integrate all course elements including those developed at MVU and those licensed from
others, and provide input about overall, systematic course development strategy on an on-going basis. The
Senior Instructional Designer is a position for a more experienced and skilled instructional designer than
MVU's Instructional Designer position, and hence would be expected to work on more demanding projects.
