Last week, we needed to hire a programmer for a small freelance job. To my surprise, several candidates advertised they had completed programming <a title="Lessons to be learned from MOOCs, 2 years out" href="http://www.idea.org/blog/2013/04/22/lessons-to-be-learned-from-moocs-2-years-out/">MOOCs</a>. These were young programmers in their 20’s, in countries like Pakistan and Thailand, who lacked college-level coursework, but are trying to launch freelancing careers based on online courses.</p> <p>Online courses and MOOCs may be a poor substitute for in-person learning with a charismatic teacher, but they are light-years better than nothing, and are particularly relevant for higher education and specific skills, when students are self-motivated. <a href="https://www.idea.org/blog/2013/07/29/online-courses-for-developing-the-developing-world/#more-4210" class="more-link"><span aria-label="Continue reading Online courses for developing the developing world">(more…)</span></a></p> </div> <div class="meta"> <ul> <li>Posted in <a href="https://www.idea.org/blog/category/learning/" rel="category tag">Learning & access</a>, <a href="https://www.idea.org/blog/category/strategy/" rel="category tag">Strategy</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.idea.org/blog/2013/07/29/online-courses-for-developing-the-developing-world/#comments">1 Comment</a></li> <li>Tags: <a href="https://www.idea.org/blog/tag/africa/" rel="tag">Africa</a>, <a href="https://www.idea.org/blog/tag/classroom/" rel="tag">classroom</a>, <a href="https://www.idea.org/blog/tag/education/" rel="tag">education</a>, <a href="https://www.idea.org/blog/tag/free/" rel="tag">free</a>, <a href="https://www.idea.org/blog/tag/higher-education/" rel="tag">higher education</a>, <a href="https://www.idea.org/blog/tag/learning-2/" rel="tag">learning</a>, <a href="https://www.idea.org/blog/tag/massive-open-online-course/" rel="tag">Massive open online course</a>, <a href="https://www.idea.org/blog/tag/mobile/" rel="tag">mobile</a>, <a href="https://www.idea.org/blog/tag/mooc/" rel="tag">MOOC</a>, <a href="https://www.idea.org/blog/tag/online-course/" rel="tag">online course</a></li> </ul> </div> </div> <div class="post-4167 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-communications category-learning tag-amazon tag-audience tag-books tag-culture tag-fanfic tag-free tag-harry-potter tag-publishing tag-selling" id="post-4167"> <div class="title"> <h2><a href="https://www.idea.org/blog/2013/06/05/what-is-fan-fiction/" rel="bookmark">What is fan fiction?</a></h2> <p class="info"><strong class="date"><a href="https://www.idea.org/blog/2013/06/05/what-is-fan-fiction/" rel="bookmark">June 5th, 2013</a></strong> by IDEA</p> </div> <div class="content"> <p><img class="alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-4177" alt="Fan fiction" src="http://www.idea.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/fan-fiction-008-150x90.jpg" width="150" height="90" srcset="https://www.idea.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/fan-fiction-008-150x90.jpg 150w, https://www.idea.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/fan-fiction-008-240x144.jpg 240w, https://www.idea.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/fan-fiction-008.jpg 460w" sizes="(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" />Who owns art and culture? Does it belong to the artist? The legal property owner? Or the society that loves and appreciates it? Traditionally, old art is considered public, and new art is copyrighted. Anyone can write a new twist on Romeo and Juliet, or mashup the Mona Lisa with a mustache. But what if Harry Potter opened a lemonade stand?
