    1. connections

      Connectivity, we may recall, often appears within network theories as a guiding logic for decentralizing (and destabilizing) structures. In contrast to prior systems which often situate manifestations of "control" in hierarchical frames, Alexander Galloway in Protocol examines connectivity as a mechanism for inclusion/exclusion (amongst other articulations of "control"). Like Galloway, Helms seems to be looking at logics of connectivity within (and beyond) comics to expand critical theory in productive ways.

    1. Asking questions via social media that are intentionally designed to elicit responses can provide a plethora of useful responses. Why wait until an end-of-year survey to find out about an issue when you can poll/question students throughout the year via social media?

      It doesn't have to be just student feedback about the operations and mechanics of the course, or as a replacement for a course survey tool. You can also use the platform as a way to engage students on the content relevant to the learning outcomes of the course. And use the platform to connect learners with people in the field of study.

    1. A network perspective not only lays bare the various stakeholders with a vested social, economic, and political interest in what happens within schools and colleges, but also the ways agency for what happens within classrooms at my institution extends beyond the students and educators charged with constructing learning.

      Useful approach (reminiscent of ANT), especially if paired with a community-based approach.

    1. So while the extroverts may be schmoozing with colleagues after work, you can ensure you’re being productive while you recharge by reading industry journals or thinking creatively about your company and your career.

      translation: it's okay to say no to professional networking opportunities even when your goal is to improve your professional networking. Radical! (no sarcasm)

    1. ВЫВОДЫ

      <br>

      • Все комплектующие адаптера должны быть последнего поколения. К высокоскоростному Wi-Fi 802.11ac должен прилагаться высокоскоростной же USB 3.0, тогда и в двухантенном адаптере есть смыл.

      • Если комплектующие разных поколений. Высокоростной Wi-Fi 802.11ac + низкоскоростной USB 2.0 дадут ⩽ 270 Мбит/с и не больше. В двухантенном смысла нет.

      • Если все комплектующие предыдущих поколений. Средне- и низкоскоростные Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n (не ac) + низкоскоростной USB 2.0 — есть смысл в двухантенном адаптере. <br>

      Но для получения максимальных результатов адаптер должен принимать сигнал от роутера, соответствующего характеристикам адаптера. То есть поколение роутера тоже должно соответствовать.

    2. Минусом работы на 5 ГГц может быть уменьшение дальности работы (по сравнению с 2,4 ГГц), но этот вопрос мы в данной статье не затрагивали и постараемся вернуться к нему в следующих публикациях.
    3. в случае работы с шиной USB 2.0 пользователи сетей 802.11ac могут рассчитывать на максимальные скорости около 270 Мбит/с. При этом особого смысла гнаться за двухантенным (скорость соединения 867 Мбит/с) адаптером практически нет. Единственное, где он может выиграть у одноантенного (скорость соединения 433 Мбит/с) — работа с сетями прошлого поколения.
    4. Если вы пользуетесь ноутбуком, встроенный беспроводной адаптер которого обеспечивает работу в 802.11n/300 Мбит/с (а таких моделей в среднем сегменте большинство), то установка внешнего контроллера может помочь существенно увеличить скорость работы с сетью, и подобный апгрейд может быть оправдан.

    1. Individualism–

      Customisation: the “personal” era. What with “personal learning networks” and everything “self-”. Does sound like a major trend. What’s possibly most interesting, though, is the framing. To some of us, the term “individualism” may carry some negative connotations. It could be fairly neutral, in a context like this one, or deemed positive (prefixed with “rugged”), but it’s an interesting choice, here.

    1. Whether or not you take a constructivist view of education, feedback on performance is inevitably seen as a crucial component of the process. However, experience shows that students (and academic staff) often struggle with feedback, which all too often fails to translate into feed-forward actions leading to educational gains. Problems get worse as student cohort sizes increase. By building on the well-established principle of separating marks from feedback and by using a social network approach to amplify peer discussion of assessed tasks, this paper describes an efficient system for interactive student feedback. Although the majority of students remain passive recipients in this system, they are still exposed to deeper reflection on assessed tasks than in traditional one-to-one feedback processes.

    1. Ronja is a free technology project for reliable optical data links with a current range of 1.4km and a communication speed of 10Mbps full duplex. Applications of this wireless networking device include backbone of free, public, and community networks, individual and corporate Internet connectivity, and also home and building security. High reliability and availability linking is possible in combination with WiFi devices. The Twibright Ronja datalink can network neighbouring houses with cross-street ethernet access, solve the last mile problem for ISP’s, or provide a link layer for fast neighbourhood mesh networks.
