Transparency (and surveillance) is getting started
It is not Big Brother who is watching you, it is Every Brother… In this note we start our research in “Transparency and Surveillance in ePedagogy and education.” As we had communicated at the seminar here in Hamburg we are going to make our process transparent to everybody – and therefore I have now set up a blog (panopticon.ferngespraech.net) and a wiki (due to some problems with my Server only having PHP 4 my provider has to move my data to another Server, so the Wiki will be online tomorrow…) so that everybody can follow our thoughts and the work in progress.
Please have a look at our work – ideas, questions, recommondations etc. are higly welcome.
Cheers,
Christina

There is a possibilty to contribute via comments in the blog. And we do appreciate this! But as the blog will be part of our process of the project work, it is only possible to post for us…
So links, comments, advice, hints, questions, ideas, proposals… are higly welcome in the comments to the entries.

I just found this article in the german magazine ‘Spiegel’, it’s kind of Panopticon in the fourth dimension. If you’re familiar with the movie ‘Minority Report’, it is about the establishing of a database which delivers results like a ‘precrime’-unit – meaning that potential criminals can get pinpointed and arrested, before they may even know that they will commit a crime…
