Die Folge haben wir am 07.08.2019 aufgenommen.
Intro & Feedback
Der ehemalige Innenminister Thomas de Maizière ist jetzt übrigens Vorsitzender der Telekomstiftung. Mehr im Abschnitt Politik.
Zur letzten Folge hatten wir einen sehr ausführlichen Kommentar von René, der richtigerweise darauf hinweist, dass Lehrerinnen und Lehrer nicht unmündig seien, sondern entlastet werden sollen. Sebastian mag, dass wir Nicht-Pädagogen öffentlich einen solchen Podcast machen (wir glauben, das ist ein Lob 😅). Markus mochte unser Intro (merke: Spam vorlesen als Podcast-Format durchdenken) und findet Os Vorhaben spannend, nächstes Jahr im Recurse Center anzuheuern. Ein anderer Markus empfiehlt uns und andere Podcasts, wir sagen danke (auch für die nette Gesellschaft der anderen Nennungen 🙂 ).

News+O
- O arbeitet ständig selbst ganz erfolgreich.
- O bedankt sich bei Nele für die schnelle Erweiterung ihres Services Mailnudge (mit dem kann man eine E-Mail an das Zukunfts-Ich schreiben).
- Wegen Scammern, Spam/Malware-Mails (hier der Log vom beschriebenen Fall) und Kommentaren mit die menschenverachtenden Inhalten ärgert sich O häufig. Und es ärgert ihn, dass ihn das ärgert.
- O ist in Hamburg eScooter gefahren und fand es weniger sinnvoll im Vergleich zu Fahrrad und ÖPNV. Dennoch fand er (und A auch) die Folge von Sascha Lobos Debattencast dazu sehr gut.
News+A
- A war im Urlaub,
- war dort von den niederländischen Mobilitätskonzepten beeindruckt,
- kann auch nach den Erfahrungen dort Free Walking Tours sehr empfehlen,
- und findet weiterhin Gefallen an gut gemachten Audio-Guides und Apps in Museen (beides zusammen bspw. mit izi.travel) und
- war davon beeindruckt, wie gut sich Google Lens mittlerweile bei der Live-Übersetzung bspw. in Museen oder Restaurants macht
- A weist darauf hin, dass die Abstimmung für den Standort des EduCamps im Frühjahr 2020 gestartet ist: Frankfurt und Calberlah haben sich beworben.
- Außerdem hat sie noch zwei Podcast-Empfehlungen:

We present LumièreNet, a simple, modular, and completely deep-learning based architecture that synthesizes, high quality, full-pose headshot lecture videos from instructor's new audio narration of any length.

Our video demos are available at [22] and [23].
Bei Udacity wird damit experimentiert, wie man aus einer Tonspur automatisch passende Vortragsvideos erzeugen kann, wenn man künstliche neuronale Netze zuvor mit Videovorträgen einer Person trainiert hat. Die Autoren sind zufrieden – auch wenn die gelieferten Beispielvideos noch Luft nach oben lassen.
Vielleicht ist hier tatsächlich eine vorsichtige Einschätzung ratsam, wenn man ein anderes Paper heranzieht: Die Ergebnisse von Algorithmen, die künstliche neuronale Netze verwenden, sind nicht immer reproduzierbar oder einfacheren Ansätzen unterlegen.

Die österreichische MOOC-Plattform iMOOX hat im Wintersemester 2017/18 und im Sommersemester geschaut, wer eigentlich an den MOOCs teilnimmt, welche Interessen sie verfolgen und wie sie die Plattform und Kurse bewerten. Da sie das schon einmal 2015 getan haben, konnten die Autoren auch ein paar Änderungen feststellen.

Videos können als Lernmedium besonders spannend sein, wenn man sie mit unterschiedlichen Interaktionsmöglichkeiten anreichert. Wie wirkt sich beispielsweise die Möglichkeit zur Annotation auf die Reflexion der Inhalte aus? Das haben drei Forscher aus Italien und der Schweiz explorativ untersucht …

Projekte, Tools, Apps… das sind doch bürgerliche Kategorien. Wir packen einfach alles in die Fundgrube:
- Auf Twitter wurde diskutiert, ob Open Access denn zwingend mit einer freien Lizenz zusammen hinge (dazu auch Berliner und Budapester Erklärungen zu Open Access)
- mapchart.net: Karten kolorieren, Legende beschriften, speichern als PNG (CC BY-SA 4.0 oder anderer Verweis auf die Seite)
- Reporterfabrik: Kurse zu Journalistischem Wissen, meist kostenlos, max. 25€, von Correctiv
- Im Rijksstudio findet man digitale Bilder aus der Sammlung des Rijksmuseums, i. d. R. unter CC0-Lizenz
- Cartesuis: Digitalisierte Karten, überwiegend von Belgien und drumrum (leider nicht frei lizenziert), das Virtuelle Kartenforum der SLUB Dresden ist da meist offener

Und nochmal zurück zum Intro: Wer administriert eigentlich bei der Telekomstiftung die IT? Macht das Thomas de Maizère selbst? Oder kennt sich dort jemand mit Rechnernetzen aus?
