Discussion FORUM

Marginalisation, Exclussion and all the other "Buzz Words" - what do they really mean. I was not sure to which topic I should post this, but it can always be moved if it is felt that it has ended up in the wrong place. Please note, that this is a personal viewpoint and it does not necessarily represent the feelings of our overall LINKS group. My intention in writing what follows is to just get things going, so anyone?s, additions, subtractions, agreement, disagreement and any other comments are, from me, most welcome. ( Paul ) Interesting Sites Categories Please send us some ideas and suggestions concerning the Interesting Sites Categories . . Focus of this section (Rose Andersson, 2/24/97 2:49 pm) EXCLUSION: Access costs and public services - mass alphabetization - overcoming of barriers - userfriendly interface Proposed by Antonio Venti I think this is the most important topic, because each of us has plenty of issues to propose and things to say. It is obvious that we will not do a list of excluded and rejected, or a "Miracle court" on virtual environment: but we should talk about problems/obstacles in the relation between individual person and machines EMPLOYMENT: Job opportunities in Information Society - Teleworking Proposed by Antonio Venti Discussion about the relation between IS and employment. Teleworking could be interesting to discuss, because we are going to start to use it, in a certain way (i.e. sharing a work place in a televideo-conferencing system) EDUCATION: Distance Learning - Vocational training systems Proposed by Antonio Venti Ideas and suggestions to develop a common methodolory for the Distance Learning. This topic should include issues on relations among study, learning and Information Society The problems and the prospects regarding or/and of interest for the Disabled people Comments about this Site We invite all our partners to visit the Site and to be kind enough to write up a brief report with remarks and suggestions
