It's a great course, thank you.
It does seem a bit scary that the Insurers are able to sell Alex's data in breach of GDPR and then cry off that it's "too difficult" to rectify their deliberate action. -
Geoff Pearson made a comment
A good place to go for a decent and in-depth privacy notice is the ICO in the UK, and other similar national organisations elsewhere: after all, if they have to police GDPR then they should get it right themselves.
-
That's an interesting point Kate. I was on another GDPR session and they spoke about social media account-holders being joint data controllers with e.g. Twitter. This opens a whole can of worms: person A posts hate speech, at which point them and Twitter are "in control". Person A then deletes the tweet, but not before person B has screen-shot it and shared it...
-
When I get a cold-call now I ask them who is their data controller. When they ask me to explain I ask to speak to their supervisor. Normally they hang up at this point, but if not then I ask them their legitimate reason for contacting me. Then they hang up!
To be honest, I'm sick of cold-calls to the extent where my landline is always on silent. -
I wrote my organisation's privacy statement. The real complexities came because of the various different relationships we have with data subjects: employees, sub-contractors, service-users and customers for example. As an independent subsidiary of a much larger organisation, itself part of a much bigger organisation, it can be "challenging" to ensure...

I'm looking forward to more info re pseudonymisation i.e. how it is used to protect the data subject but also the data processor/ controller (where the use and sharing of personal special data is essential in order to provide services/ care to the data subject).

Geoff Pearson replied to Anthony Rich
GDPR is the "entry standard" for entities wishing to do business with/ within the EU, so the UK will not be allowed to remove its GDPR regulations (all 3rd nations need to meet the GDPR criteria). The European Court of Human Rights (who can be called on to pass judgement relating to GDPR cases) is a Council of Europe body, so however Brexit happens, the ECHR...
-
I wrote the privacy notice for my organisation, from a "standing start", using the ICO website. This course means I can review that piece of work from a more practiced standpoint, with a clearer understanding of the principles.

I work in a healthcare setting, with a disparate range of delivery partners. I'm looking to sense-check our practices.

Rose, this is more of a social/ non-profit/ education project. It will be delivered to groups of young people at key stages of their lives. It's main aim is to give people the skills they can choose to use.
-
Geoff Pearson made a comment
I am putting together a project which will impact young people at 4 stages of their lives. From what I have learned already, I will break it into 4 seperate projects, which will build in resilience and flexibility to the delivery. Even though the over-arching principle is a constant, the differences between target populations means it would be too fuzzy to...

Geoff Pearson made a comment
High risks in terms of complexity, medium to high on pace- even though the timescales are fairly long, there would be a defined end-date i.e. launch. Uncertainty of an international project is high: see how different the world is in 2018 vs 2010, from Trump to Brexit, Catalan seperatism, Italian upheaval, the world is constantly in a state of flux.

I generally agree with you regarding labelling people or conditions. That said, I recently did a course on Autism. What struck me there was that some people (including some of those leading the course) demanded the label, and demanded to be called Autistic. It gave them a frame of reference and allowed them to build an identity where perhaps they would...

Absolutely right Sarah. Good result.

I think on a macro scale, the role of central banks. They may change interest rates for example, to elicit a certain response from the economy. Depending on how this works would dictate the next move.

I am a career changer looking to join the public sector. A few years ago I did a course which touched on similar topics from the University of Groningen via FutureLearn, and I'm looking forward to enhancing my learning.
-
Geoff Pearson made a comment
The language of Al Quaida and Daesh/ISIL have both referred to fighting the Crusaders; and US policy makers (I think including President Bush) also referred to fighting AQ as a "new crusade". Thus, a number of conflicts fought over a relatively small area almost a thousand years ago are used to build a narrative around a current fight with a global reach. Some...

Geoff Pearson made a comment
I think the hostility towards gay men and women, which crosses many cultural boundaries. Particularly, the presentation of the idea that gay men are paedophiles, which seems to have been born from the notion that "our kids" need protecting from being "turned" gay.
This does point to something referred to in the video, namely that people become hostile to that... -
Geoff Pearson made a comment
Christianity, Islam and Judaism, as religions born in the same geographical location, have shared space throughout time. Themes of separation between the three have developed for territorial as well as theological reasons. The Crusades, the Ottoman Empire, European colonialism in North Africa, all brought conflict for "practical" reasons between groups of...

I recall some data from the 1990's regarding the level of inbreeding (in a genetic sense rather than "straightforward" incest) in areas of England. The heaviest incidence was in a rural area, but the second heaviest was in Tower Hamlets, a part of London known for its large migrant population. Further study showed that as the community (I think Bangladeshis)...

I have friends who are getting involved with Buddhism. They are not young, trendy hipsters but rather in their mid-40's and looking for a way to deal with the pressures and stresses of life. The lady takes yoga classes, and the instructor let her borrow a couple of books. Now the husband and wife go to meditation workshops and share lots of inspirational memes...

Claire, I have no faith but do take real pleasure in your description of what your church does. Keep up the good work, and thank you.

My gut reaction is a sense of unease at what looks like shameless marketing based on a product that is not proven to exist: you buy a package but you don't know if it contains a 4k TV or a collection of house bricks. I am then led to opine that every place of worship, anywhere in the world, has been built on a similar premise and funded in a similar way.
And... -

The first thing that occurred to me watching this, was "What about slaves from Africa dragged off to the New World?". I know there have been attempts to reignite a religious heritage, but tellingly so much of their history was destroyed the minute they were crammed into ships. I wonder how different Africa's present might be if Christians and Muslims hadn't...

The Catholic church. It has many fingers in many pies, all around the world. It makes demands on all its adherents, as well on those who do not follow its strictures.
My son goes to a Catholic school, and much of the background to secular lessons is based on the teachings or actions of St Joseph (whoever he is). The hope is that pupils will grow up to be... -
Geoff Pearson made a comment
As described by some of the women in the video, there does seem to be a step forward in their rights within society, but from a very low base. Their exclusion or diminution as witnesses for example is troubling. In terms of cleaning up the streets, the journalist describes the removal of blatant brothels and the reduction in alcohol and drug abuse, which are...
-
Geoff Pearson made a comment
I very much agree with the idea that religion can take over the space left by failures of secular regimes. A logical extension of this would be in the attempted creation of a Caliphate by ISIL/ Daesh: where the state (or states in this instance) failed to fulfil the obligations a state should have to its own people then an organisation with religious claim has...

I'll refer to "The Death of Yugoslavia" (auth Silber and Little)
Definite changes to the border of Yugoslavia, as it ceased to be an entity by the mid 1990's. With the break up of the Warsaw Pact, the rise of Serb nationalism as a power-grabbing tool by Milosevic and others led to secessionist movements throughout the country. Gradually these movements took... -
Geoff Pearson made a comment
In many areas (e.g. the USSR), religion was suppressed by the state. The collapse of the state would remove the credibility of that position, and the right to freely practise religion could be presented in a new nationalistic identity-building context. Poland, historically an intensely Catholic country, was able to point to Catholic involvement in Solidansk,...

Geoff Pearson made a comment
Francis Fukuyama's "The End of History" posited that the peak of political systems is liberal democracy. His reasons for this are very much grounded in Enlightenment thought, and tells us that different political systems (in the broadest sense) will, through time, "evolve". The "apparent differences between peoples' "languages of good and evil" will appear to...
-
Geoff Pearson made a comment
Conflict is by nature dichotomous: black and white. Context blurs the boundaries, making grey areas. Grey areas can lead to compromise, the reduction of dichotomy, and the end of a conflict. The leaders of each side in the conflict want to win, hence the removal of context.
-
Geoff Pearson made a comment
I agree that religion does as described by Marjo, but would point to non-religious alternatives which do the same thing by drawing on similar principles: North Korea with its personality cult regime, drawing on ancient beliefs within the region. The USSR and the Third Reich again drew on local beliefs and norms. Even the US Constitution is revered to an...
-
Geoff Pearson made a comment
I think substantive views taken at face value, or "on faith" (pun intended) shine a light on the beliefs of their adherents. As such they can be used to context and frame the discussion. If you ask a physicist and a poet to describe the sun you will get two different descriptions of the same thing. Both have validity, although they will approach the same...
-
Geoff Pearson made a comment
Really interesting video. I remember the break up of Yugoslavia being presented in religious terms which ignored the ethnic differences, the political history of the region, the fact that the country itself was a concoction which had been ruled in a way which repressed notions of individual identity. It became easier to characterise the Bosnians as Muslims,...

Geoff Pearson made a comment
The actions of white extremists in the UK, against immigration generally and Muslims more specifically. Groups such as "Britain First" protest against what they describe the "Islamification" of Britain, and describe themselves as victims whose way of life is at risk from "outside" forces. They organise marches and leafleting campaigns, often laughably poorly...
-
Geoff Pearson made a comment
An understanding of the notion of structural violence is an important empathetic tool. Symbolic violence, such as a victim of domestic abuse thinking she deserves to be treated in such a way, is truly powerful. It is easy to present these in a way that "justifies" conflict and violence.
-
Geoff Pearson made a comment
I think the idea of conflicts leading to ways to reduce future conflicts is often overlooked. The threat of nuclear war meant that new communication tools were a result of the Cuban Missile Crisis for example. The sharing of holy sites might be another. Without an initial event it is possible for differences to fester, potentially erupting into a much worse...
-
Geoff Pearson made a comment
My father in law, who is religious, applies a substantive approach to describing his religion. He has faith that it is the word of God and therefore true. The benefit of this approach is that you always know how you "should" act, if you are to act in line with your faith. The drawback is that your potential outcomes are limited, particularly when faced with...
-
Geoff Pearson made a comment
I define religion as being somewhere between functional and substantive. For me, religions are created as a thought-system to explain why we are here and how we should behave (functional) but demand and rely upon faith and belief in a metaphysical imperative (substantive).
How these differ from ideas such as communism or democracy lies largely in their... -
Geoff Pearson made a comment
All the clips show large numbers of people with shared beliefs quite literally communing. The judeo-christian clips tend to show a leader directing ceremonies, whereas the other clips show a more egalitarian experience.
-
Geoff Pearson made a comment
In the '90s I got my degree in international politics, and at the time the focus was on state and political/ ideological factors. Religion was still largely a sideshow in the study, with more focus on the domestic aspects of beliefs than the geopolitical impact of religious conflict.
I have done previous courses by U of Groningen and am really impressed, so... -
Geoff Pearson made a comment
I'll definitely sign up for more courses on this topic. I've bookmarked the Sphere Project. If I consider the humanitarian sector for employment I will be tempted by the degree also. Thank you all.

Geoff Pearson made a comment
It's truly refreshing to get an attitude reset around some of my own presumptions of humanitarian aid. The commitments and ways of moving forward are real eye-openers, and I'm thrilled to share so many ideals with such a noble profession.
-
Geoff Pearson made a comment
These are fantastic commitments. As I touched on previously, I think there is a real scope to anticipate crises and build local capability in a way that can support and promote local systems.
Blockers to such an approach could be the difficulty in securing funding on an ongoing basis. It could be a "hard sell" to donors. There could also be a lack of... -
Geoff Pearson made a comment
I see a real opportunity for NGOs to spend money training locals in those areas most susceptible to disaster as a pre-emptive measure. This could be a way of providing quality jobs and skills to the developing world for example, which could be drawn on in time of national emergency. Builders will be needed both before and after an earthquake, as will doctors,...

In my local town- a fairly safe part of the English "sunshine coast", which last flooded over 60 years ago- there is a Red Cross contingent, where people volunteer to train for emergencies both local and abroad. There are volunteer medical first responders. There are speed traps manned by volunteers. There are volunteer firemen. We have the Lifeboat, again...

I like to "do" things for (or in the name of) charities. I've taken part in big events such as the BHF London-Brighton ride; I've organised team bike-rides and long-distance walks. When people then give money to the charity being supported they can see something being done and are quite generous. I also donate directly through payroll, and make sure I...
-
Geoff Pearson made a comment
I think the idea of charities competing with each other for resources is immensely wasteful. Every penny spent on advertising is a penny that could have been spent on the ground, so I would challenge the number of charities that co-exist in the same "marketplace". Do we need 20 charities that fill the same niche for example? A regulating body would be very...
-
Geoff Pearson made a comment
The topography, weather, style and age of building, recurring earthquakes, and an already displaced population would all increase the complexity of the situation.
In time of war, great effort often goes into either protecting (or targeting) places of cultural significance, and the desire to safeguard the cultural artefacts as described also adds to this... -

As a 6 yr old I quite liked dinosaurs, and could name probably 10. My son, who is 6, can identify about 100 and describe some key characteristics of them. There is so much knowledge available now that we are almost in a "post-truth" situation where we shape that information to fit our own agendas- as unfortunately we see in so much political discourse and...
-
Geoff Pearson made a comment
A challenge lies in the willingness of donors (direct, or indirect such as through the paying of taxes) to fund humanitarian relief. As pointed to in a couple of the articles, the mass migration of people towards Europe over the last few years shone a light on some of the best and worst of behaviours from Europeans. All too often we hear the cry that "charity...

Geoff Pearson made a comment
I like this introduction, and am pleased to see efforts to regulate the provision of humanitarian aid. It is very much the case that each organisation sees and provides aid through its own particular lens. Personally I find it far easier to support MSF than CAFOD.
In my opinion, as humans we very much have a duty of impartial care for each other.... -
Geoff Pearson made a comment
As said below, each organisation has added its own "flavour" to a generally similar topic. Gender based violence, whilst ubiquitous, is coloured very much by cultural practise and norms. Seeking to challenge these norms from the ground up, by engaging potential perpetrators before they start, is a great idea.
The fact that in so many instances, see Haiti for... -

I was watching "The Looming Tower" last night. It's a dramatization, but after the Nairobi US Embassy bombing the FBI arrive in their droves. The lead agent meets the lead Kenyan policeman and offers assistance. The Kenyan hugs him and says "We are all Kenyan police officers now".
Rightly or wrongly, the assets of the FBI would far outstrip those of the... -
Geoff Pearson made a comment
The principles as laid out by the IRC are very good, but the very fact that there must be a "Red Cross" and a "Red Crescent" speaks volumes about the dangers of an organisation's personality being seen as guiding the work they do on the ground. A code of practice should be focused on the immediate physical need, not a perceived spiritual one for example....

Geoff Pearson made a comment
It is hugely important to involve a broad range of actors in agreeing the principles of Humanitarian assistance. The global response to the Boxing Day Tsunami was one example of international co-operation, where states and NGOs were able to work together to bring a measure of relief to those affected by calamity; but the 2003 invasion of Iraq was also...

Geoff Pearson made a comment
I think empathy and sympathy are broadly natural human responses, and "humanitarianism" has evolved from that.
As presented thus far, it seems there are two different strands here: the Geneva Convention-style "rules of behaviour", which rely on a relationship of near-equals with similar ethical codes grounded in shared experience and institutions (e.g. state... -

I was born in Cyprus in 1974. As the war escalated we were evacuated on military transport. Being just months old I have no direct recollection, but I see the impact this had on my mother who had to escape with 2 young children. The experience left her with some mental health issues.

I've done several courses with FutureLearn, and definitely find that the most enjoyable are those you engage in fully. Don't duck out of the assignments, as otherwise you don't get the full education experience.
I'm constantly recommending FutureLearn to friends and colleagues. -
Geoff Pearson made a comment
There are basic survival requirements such as shelter, water, food. Unless you're immediately in a "rescue" phase (e.g. digging people out of rubble) then this would need to be an absolute priority. On a macro scale, you would need to provide a "safe space" for shelter and the provision of food and water. Triage to prioritise medical care.

We were recently informed that there was a slight suspicion that our 6 year old son might be "on the spectrum" as it was described to us. In truth, and backed up thus far on this course, I am unsure that he has any attributes that could sincerely be described as autistic. He does like routine, but he is far from locked in to any particular pattern. He can get...

I went to boarding school in Lancashire and would often have to get the train home for school holidays. This involved many changes, sometimes as many as 5 within an 8 hour journey. As a child travelling on my own I would get quite anxious about missing connections (focused more on inconveniencing my parents, strangely). I overcame this by leaving sometimes 2...

I vaguely remember in the late '80s, early '90s watching a documentary about an autistic person who was a great painter. Although details are sketchy (it was a long time ago) I believe the central theme was trying to move general understanding away from an idea of autism being intrinsically disabling. In this way, showing that various conditions can co-relate,...

Hinge-point. In the scenario there are different possible answers (only one correct) which enable the teacher to gauge the level of understanding of the class. Allowing the students to discuss the question leads to reinforced learning and understanding.

Thank you Johnson.

I'm really pleased with the direction this course is taking. The idea of autism as an identity frames the "difference/ disability" discussion entirely differently, as I've also picked up from the educators. This presents a more positive image, far beyond the fake research that drew links between the MMR vaccine and autism, and more towards the TED talk...

The reflective practice is particularly useful. As an analogy, I used to love climbing mountains. I would all but race up them, lungs bursting and legs burning, until I got to the top where I would stop and look around. As my friends would get to the top they'd ask if I'd seen a particular waterfall, or noted the view of a distant village, and in truth I'd...

Coming from an entirely different profession it's pleasing to see the level of organisation that goes in to each of the teachers' workloads. In my current role I seldom get more than one day off at a time, and my shifts can start at 5 a.m. or finish at 10 p.m. This makes it hard to manage a work/life balance, but also leads indirectly to doing a lot of things...
-
Geoff Pearson made a comment
Kolb's assertion, as presented, that you can't learn by reading or being shown, surely undermines the practice of teaching? Perhaps I've taken this out of context.
I agree with aspects of all the models, so I guess that's a bit of conceptual abstraction already. -

I've been a retail manager for 20 years, and am in the process of being made redundant. This has liberated me to move towards primary school teaching, something I've looked at previously but was unable to afford.
Over the last few weeks I've taken part in a number of FutureLearn courses, largely around teaching science at primary level as this is an area I'm... -

I'm not a scientist, and as yet only aspire to be a teacher (which is why I did not take part in the hinge-point questions), but seeing the resources available via the STEM site has given me a real confidence boost. I'm learning a lot from this course and will revisit it in the future when I am in training/ practising as a teacher.

Very useful to see the different age-groups. I had wondered how to "control" the different streams, and thought the Year 3 teacher did a great job.

I enjoyed the videos. The articles gave good depth to the wider discussion. It was great to see the ideas and practices of existing teachers. Great interaction from the educators on the course.
For me personally, I also have a better understanding of astronomy but perhaps even more importantly I have been reminded to do my research!
Thanks to you all. -

As a "not yet" teacher I feel enthused about teaching science generally at primary school in a way that I did not expect prior to this course. When I start going to interviews, and during my training year and beyond, I'll be able to draw on what I've learned here both specifically regarding "Space Science" and in method of teaching.
It is great to know that... -

I think an awareness of scientific roles and careers from an early age is essential. There are some great children's t.v. shows out there which do a great job of showcasing scientists and engineers, and it would be fantastic to bring that level of understanding into the classroom. Showing pupils that there are careers out there, at all levels of qualification,...

I was asked once by my gran how I could possibly feel involved in our world without faith. I replied that I am constantly filled with wonder that here we all are, the various results of delightful chemical accidents, able to embrace and seek to understand the beautiful world around us.
It is this sense of wonder and desire to question and investigate our... -

I absolutely agree. My son's favourite place is the Natural History Museum, and it is the tangible nature of the displays that brings things to life in a way not possible for books or the screen. The presence of experts and information, and the way the various displays are pulled together to tell a story, make learning an entertainment all of its own.

As I'm not yet a teacher I can't pretend to have done this yet, but for World Book Day last year I helped my son with his costume for "The Dinosaur That Pooped A Planet". Although the science in the book is questionable (what with a dinosaur pooping a planet...) it did give us an opportunity to make a brown papier mache planet and a night sky, so actually I...

A great tool to show the breadth of research currently taking place, as well as the range of bodies and nations taking part. Very much shows that space science is alive, and gives the opportunity to plan projects around an event or piece of ongoing research.
I would love to do a class project around a topic, which could then include a video-conference with a... -

I think all the scientists we have seen and heard on this course are really engaging, so meeting the "right kind" of scientist would be really enthusing for students. Two of my son's biggest heroes are Andy from "Andy's Dinosaur Adventures" on cBeebies, and David Attenborough, both of whom deliver an infectious passion for the nature they present. Thanks to...

That's a brilliant idea. Could be a great bit of homework, followed by discussions and model-making on the following day, drawing in the learnings around night and day/ moon phases to describe why we could/ couldn't see the 4 moons for example.

I think access to real, live data is an important part of teaching science. It directly links to the world about us so shows the practical application of what is being taught. Additionally, data such as weather forecasts are subject to sudden change so prove that science is constantly evolving.
-
Geoff Pearson made a comment
I think there are great opportunities to "mix things up" for students, to incorporate several different subjects into a more holistic project. The idea of thinking like a scientist instead of dogmatically following the accepted norm is perhaps the greatest gift an educator can give. I have little recollection of being taught science in primary school...

"My mummy says that God made the earth?". I listened with interest to the audio earlier, but would still dread the question. If really pushed I wonder if it would be advisable to suggest that perhaps "God" gave us the ability to work out how the Earth was created. That leaves enough space for a tactical withdrawal without upsetting the more religiously-minded.

Possibly 3 pupils. 1 running on the spot, 1 marching on the spot and 1 relaxing, to show the impact of burning energy at different rates.

Otis would.flower quickly and then disappear. Having an...

I think that there is an increasing amount of "knowledge" that is still available but is out of date. Explaining to students that something that we once knew to be correct has been overtaken by new knowledge would have to be well handled- but could lead to a positive desire to make new discoveries.
