Thriving digital platforms associated with the sharing economy impact negatively consumers as a result of the regulatory framework's obsolescence regarding aspects such as competition and socio-economic exclusion. Results are observable in areas such as transportation (Uber), financial services (crowdfunding) or accommodation (Airbnb). Nothing but a thorough modernization of consumer law, including that of fundamental concepts such as « consumer », « business » and « price », will enable the preservation of an effective regulatory framework regarding problems which technology may appear to alter or hide, but does not eliminate.

At a time when universities have to position themselves on their approach regarding MOOCs, this paper presents the institutional background of MOOC deployment in two universities: the University of Montreal and the Université libre de Bruxelles. This analysis of MOOC strategies is carried out from the point of view of the main actors and outlines the context, process and arguments that led to the collaboration of the two institutions and the decisions they made to strategically position and implement their MOOC initiatives. Building on the collaboration instigated in the G3 initiative, the two institutions worked together to develop the positioning underlying the process, which led to some similar choices (means to ensure quality, research/deployment harmonization), but also some different ones. Each institution anticipated benefits based on its own context, which ultimately influenced its specific choice of courses: pedagogical innovation, professional development, focus on research work or teaching work, production of widely accessible and reusable educational resources, etc. The explanation of the choices made and their impacts is informative for any institution that wishes to develop its own MOOC strategy.

Research framework : The health crisis created by Covid 19 has tremendously changed the life of French people, especially the parents with children aged under 12 who had to reorganize their family routine to reinforce the family links. Objective : This article presents the results of research on family shared activities during the lockdown and interrogate the forms and supports taken by the family sociability in and outside the home regarding a variety of socio-economic factors. Methodology : The study uses a mixed-type methodology combining the results of a questionary survey conducted with 1731 parents of children aged between 6 and 12, with qualitative data from 20 individual phone interviews. Results : The results of the research reveal, because of the spatial lockdown, a great increase in shared activities between parents and children with significant variations in leisure activities in regards to the parental gender, the socio familial factors, and the employment position. Intra-family sociabilities, on the other hand, have particularly encouraged the craze for audiovisual content, while information technology has been strongly mobilized to re-establish the link outside the home. Conclusion : On the scale of families with children aged 6 to 12, the arrival of the Covid-19 has not only disrupted but also intensified and reshaped family social dynamics, with significant variations depending on family configurations. By insuring new uses driven by the absence of physical exchanges, digital communication technologies have carried out a dual technical and social mediation, both as a tool and instrument of sociabilities. Contribution : By providing new insights into a major global health crisis, this article aims to better understand the impact of Covid 19 on family organizations. It thus contributes to sciences of education researches but also technology uses sociology, especially among young audiences and to sociological knowledge between digital practices and family life technology articulation.

Since 2016, the War on Drugs in the Philippines is supported by a majority of the population. Some of the allies of President Rodrigo Duterte defend the reinstatement of capital punishment in the archipelago, based on a theological-political argument. These allies are the instrument of a new type of evangelical power that also manifests itself in the United States and Brazil. From the particular case of the reformed Born Again group and the findings of a survey conducted between 2019 and 2021, the article is rooted in a Science of Education perspective. It aims to describe the implementation of evangelical power as well as some of its characteristics, by proposing a reflection on the change of relation to knowledge that operates through the enforcement of evangelical doctrine and the concept of truth of the subject, which civil authority has seized.

The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic and the measures put in place to counter it have reverberated in almost every aspect of our societies, ethnographic research included, and for most religious groups. The English-speaking Jehovah's Witnesses congregation of Gatineau Valley (Maniwaki) had to quickly adjust to these new measures, in the same way as the researcher did conducting a study with this religious group. After contextualizing this research, I discuss the consequences of COVID-19 for Anishinabeg Jehovah's Witnesses, before proposing a brief reflection on the repercussions of the pandemic on my online fieldwork. If ethnographic research may still be possible in coronavirus time ‒ depending on the context ‒ it required, in my case, several adjustments: sometimes advantageous, often restrictive.

At a time when “collapsology,” a body of knowledge devoted to anticipating and preventing the possible collapse of our protective institutions, is gaining visibility in the French-speaking media, this article attempts to define “collapsonaut” modes of attention, capable of helping us collectively navigate and possibly counter-effect the ongoing destruction of our living milieus by contrasting two polarities of attentional registers (extractivist and collapsonaut attentions), before outlining some of the basic gestures that might characterize the latter.
