    Ce mémoire a pour intention de décrire dans le contexte socio-économique contemporain la gouvernance du dérèglement climatique et les rôles occupés par les acteurs privés et non étatiques. Nous aborderons la manière dont les outils technologiques comme les plateformes participent à la mutation de la régulation sociale tant au plan organisationnel qu’idéologique. Nous tenterons de déterminer les différentes manières dont la stratégie environnementale se déploie au sein de la gouvernance climatique contemporaine. Inspirée par l’approche théorique de l’économie politique des communications et une approche institutionnaliste, nous avons procédé à une analyse de dis-cours de deux intervenants, Google et les acteurs prenant part aux Conférences des Parties (COP). Plus précisément, à partir du modèle théorique issu des plateform studies, portant sur la plateformisation de la société …

    Le terme « copula » utilisé dans le moteur de recherche Google produisait 1 130 000 résultats en janvier 2007. Dans ce mémoire, nous cherchons à analyser cet intérêt phénoménal pour les copules. Notre démarche est à la fois qualitative en terme d'analyse de l'évolution des domaines de recherche et quantitative en terme de production d'articles. Une attention particulière est apportée à la statistique, où s'est d'abord développée la théorie, et à la finance qui semble être devenue un domaine privilégié d'application. L'analyse s'appuie sur une base de données exhaustive de 871 documents de travail et articles qui nous permet d'identifier les principaux champs de recherche, les auteurs les plus prolifiques, ainsi que les revues qui publient le plus d'articles. Nous constatons que l'utilisation des …

    Cette thèse constitue une étude sémantique du préfixe verbal s- des verbes russes issus d'emprunts. Elle applique une approche théorique dérivée principalement de la Linguistique Cognitive Slave [LCS]. Quatre problèmes de recherche ont été identifiés : (i) la combinaison du préfixe s- avec les verbes russes issus d'emprunts ; (ii) la question de la préfixation vide ; (iii) la productivité du préfixe s- des verbes russes issus d'emprunts par rapport à la productivité concurrentielle du préfixe russe po- ; et (iv) l'hypothèse de Pallomorphe s-l-nu-. La méthodologie mise en place est à la fois qualitative et quantitative. La méthode qualitative concerne les recherches en bibliothèque et les recherches en ligne de sources d'expressions russe, française, allemande et anglaise, de même que des enquêtes effectuées par …

    Using mLearning and MOOCs to Understand Chaos, Emergence, and Complexity in Education

    In this paper, we look at how the massive open online course (MOOC) format developed by connectivist researchers and enthusiasts can help analyze the complexity, emergence, and chaos at work in the field of education today. We do this through the prism of a MobiMOOC, a six-week course focusing on mLearning that ran from April to May 2011. MobiMOOC embraced the core MOOC components of self-organization, connectedness, openness, complexity, and the resulting chaos, and, as such, serves as an interesting paradigm for new educational orders that are currently emerging in the field. We discuss the nature of participation in MobiMOOC, the use of mobile technology and social media, and how these factors contributed to a chaotic learning environment with emerging phenomena. These emerging phenomena resulted in a transformative educational paradigm.

    Online video lectures have been considered an instructional media for various pedagogic approaches, such as the flipped classroom and open online courses. In comparison to other instructional media, online video affords the opportunity for recording student clickstream patterns within a video lecture. Video analytics within lecture videos may provide insights into student learning performance and inform the improvement of video-assisted teaching tactics. Nevertheless, video analytics are not accessible to learning stakeholders, such as researchers and educators, mainly because online video platforms do not broadly share the interactions of the users with their systems. For this purpose, we have designed an open-access video analytics system for use in a video-assisted course. In this paper, we present a longitudinal study, which provides valuable insights through the lens of the collected video analytics. In particular, we found that there is a relationship between video navigation (repeated views) and the level of cognition/thinking required for a specific video segment. Our results indicated that learning performance progress was slightly improved and stabilized after the third week of the video-assisted course. We also found that attitudes regarding easiness, usability, usefulness, and acceptance of this type of course remained at the same levels throughout the course. Finally, we triangulate analytics from diverse sources, discuss them, and provide the lessons learned for further development and refinement of video-assisted courses and practices.

    First Steps Towards a University Social Network on Personal Learning Environments

    The evolution of the media and the Internet in education today is an unquestionable reality. At the university level, the use of Web 2.0 tools has become increasingly visible in the new resources that professors have been incorporating both into the classroom and into their research, reinforcing the methodological renewal that the implementation of the EHEA has demanded. The aim of this article is to introduce DIPRO 2.0, an educational social network for university professors to develop their training in the area of personal learning environments through collaborative learning and production of knowledge.

    MOOCs (massive open online course) is a disruptive innovation and a current buzzword in higher education. However, the discussion of MOOCs is disparate, fragmented, and distributed among different outlets. Systematic, extensively published research on MOOCs is unavailable. This paper adopts a novel method called blog mining to analyze MOOCs. The findings indicate, while MOOCs have benefitted learners, providers, and faculty who develop and teach MOOCs, challenges still exist, such as questionable course quality, high dropout rate, unavailable course credits, ineffective assessments, complex copyright, and limited hardware. Future research should explore the position of MOOCs and how it can be sustained.

    It has become increasingly important, in our information society, to ensure that students have acquired the appropriate information competencies. However, several universities have too often limited these skills to the more classic models of these competencies. Such is the case of the Association of College & Research Libraries (ACRL 2000), that does not fully exploit the tools and resources of Web 2.0 with which students are already familiar. This article presents and critically analyses the traditional models with a view to propose a new and improved model of enhanced information competencies. The authors demonstrated how their model combines the strengths of the traditional models developed by library and information sciences with the advantages and challenges of Web 2.0.

    Created in the 1960s, the Petite Bibliothèque Ronde (formerly known as Joie par les livres) is a unique French children's library. Since the 1990s, and more so since 2000, the library is committed to the numeric format. In 2011, the challenge for the library is to build a numeric environment that takes into accounts the needs and habits of children born in the numeric age. In doing so, we had to rethink how multimedia spaces are designed and to imagine the future of the children's library.
