Öğretmen egitiminde Acik ders malzemleri veuzaktan eğitim önemli U.S.: Newspapers Reached 61% of Online Population by Erik Sass, Newspaper Web sites attracted a total 102.8 million unique visitors in September, representing 61% of the total U.S. adult Internet population, according to comScore figures cited by the Newspaper Association of America. On an average day in September, American newspaper Web sites attracted about 20.3 million unique visitors, with the average visitor making 8.5 visits over the course of the month. Altogether, visitors spent more than 3.3 billion minutes browsing newspaper Web sites, generating just over 4 billion page views in September. The newspaper Web site audience compared favorably with audiences for other online news properties: 51% of the U.S. adult Internet population visited Yahoo! News Network, 22% visited CNN, and 27% visited MSNBC. Fifty-five percent of adults in the 25- to-34-year-old age bracket visited a newspaper Web site in September, compared to 52% for Yahoo! News Network, 22% for CNN, and 24% for MSNBC. What's more, the audience for newspaper Web sites tends to be more affluent than the population at large. For example, 25% of adult newspaper site visitors come from households earning $100,000 a year or more, compared to 21% of all adult Internet users; among adult Internet users in this income bracket, 73% visited a newspaper Web site in September. This is one of the first public data sets released by the NAA based on measurements by comScore. Previously, the NAA used newspaper Web site audience data from Nielsen. The organization said it switched because comScore data provided a more complete picture of newspapers' online audience. http://www.mediapost.com/publications/?fa=Articles.showArticle&art_aid=137691 ------ EU approves French online music subsidy The European Union on Tuesday approved a plan that would let the French government subsidize music purchases through online subscription services. The scheme would allow French citizens between the ages of 15 and 25 to purchase EUR 50 Carte Musique, or "Music Card," for only EUR 25. The money could be spent on online music subscription services. French officials have said the plan would last for two years and people would be able to buy one subsidized card per year. It's the latest development since French President Nicolas Sarkozy first proposed the plan at a speech in Paris in January, where he argued that French youth don't pay for music because they are so accustomed to getting everything online for free. The Music Card plan has not moved as fast as Sarkozy had hoped, and it may take even longer, given that the government has not stated when it will launch, nor which music sales services it will work with. The government has said the cards will only be used on subscriptio n-based sites, like eMusic, and not services that offer individual tracks for download, like iTunes. The music industry has said piracy is hurting their business, especially in European countries where piracy is rife, as is the case in Spain and France. But online industry observers are not convinced that such a scheme will solve, or even make a dent, in the larger online piracy problem. The French government told European Union authorities that it estimates around 1 million cards will be sold per year. If that holds, that could yield EUR 50m over two years going straight from French taxpayers to the music industry. http://www.ejc.net/media_news/eu_approves_french_online_music_subsidy/ ----- Teacher Education: the Role of Open and Distance Learning This report commissioned by the Commonwealth of Learning for its partner agencies examines alternative approaches and technologies for teacher education. It studies open and distance learning for teachers (initial training and continuing professional development); available resources; technologies; outcomes, effectiveness and quality; and costs and economies. This report, which examines alternative approaches and technologies for teacher education, studied open and distance learning for teachers (initial training and continuing professional development); available resources; technologies; outcomes, effectiveness and quality; and costs and economies. It concludes that: - open and distance learning for teachers is effective enough for it to be considered a regular part of teacher training - successful programs motivate student teachers, provide good tutorial support, and are logistically sound - the approach was suitable for general education, strengthening teachers’ subject knowledge, teaching pedagogy and child development, and for classroom practice - care needs to be taken in managing costs. http://www.col.org/PublicationDocuments/pub_TeacherEd_Role_ODL.pdf http://akgul.bilkent.edu.tr/egitim/pub_TeacherEd_Role_ODL.pdf -- Saygılar Mustafa Akgul <[email protected]> _______________________________________________ Linux-sohbet mailing list [email protected] https://liste.linux.org.tr/mailman/listinfo/linux-sohbet Liste kurallari: http://liste.linux.org.tr/kurallar.php
