The federal government's plan to help the private sector fund the public sector with 'social impact bonds' appeals to some cash-strapped social service agencies but worries others.
A New York City program aimed at cutting recidivism rates among Rikers Island adolescent prison inmates failed to meet its desired goal. As a result, the city paid nothing for it.

A new study by the Parkland Institute details the devastation to
Alberta's social services sector following decades of experimentation by
the provincial Tories. The main goal of many of these initiatives was to
cut government spending on social welfare and offload provision to
anyone willing to take them on – for-profit and not-for-profit
organizations alike.
Design for Change equips children with the tools to be aware of the
world around them, believe that they play a role in shaping that world,

Twitter ist ein soziales Netzwerk und damit eine Kommunikationsplattform. Man kann dort Kurznachrichten miteinander teilen, wir selbst nutzen diese auch um in unserer IR Gruppe die Kapitelinhalte zusammengefasst zu posten.
Brad Fitzpatrick recently wrote an elegant and important post about the Social Graph, a term used by Facebook to describe their social network. In his post, Fitzpatrick defines "social graph" as "the global mapping of everybody and how they're related". He went on to outline the problems with it, as well as a broad set of goals going forward. One problem is that currently you need to have different logins for different social networks. Another issue is portability and ownership of an individual's information, explicitly and implicitly revealed while using social networks. As was recently asserted in the Social...
This all began with an introductory presentation about social network analysis to a group of medical students. What better way to grab their attention than with attractive, fake doctors having sex on television? Naturally this led to the dense network … Continue reading →
SNAPP is a software tool that allows users to visualize the network of interactions resulting from discussion forum posts and replies. The network visualisations of forum interactions provide an opportunity for teachers to rapidly identify patterns of user behaviour – at any stage of course progression. SNAPP has been developed to extract all user interactions from various commercial and open source learning management systems (LMS) such as BlackBoard (including the former WebCT), and Moodle. SNAPP is compatible for both Mac and PC users and operates in Internet Explorer, Firefox and Safari.
Most of the student data generated from Learning Management Systems (LMS) include reports on the number of sessions (log-ins), dwell time (how long the log-in lasted) and number of downloads. This tells us a lot about content retrieval in a transmission model of learning and teaching, but not about how students are interacting with each other in more socio-constructivist practice. Discussion forum activity is a good indicator of student interactions and is systemically captured by most LMS. SNAPP uses information on who posted and replied to whom, and what major discussions were about, and how expansive they were, to analyse the interactions of a forum and display it in a Social Network Diagram. The following figures illustrate how SNAPP re-interprets discussion forum postings into a network diagram.
Mr Maude denied the bond scheme was a way of shifting the cost of public sector projects on to private investors and philanthropists – but acknowledged the model is a useful way of delaying payment. “When the results are delivered that triggers a payment . . . and this payment will come from the public sector,” Mr Maude said. “It’s a way of funding the work in advance”.

Social enterprise and social impact bonds are evolving concepts to describe new ways applying market models and solutions to social problems along with new ways of financing these projects. Contracting for outcomes, while well-understood in business-based contracts is still fairly new in the application to social programs. These are distinct but related approaches that are being touted as a way for government contract for public services and reduce expenditures on social programs.
85 Prozent der Deutschen sind einer US-Studie zufolge im Internet aktiv. Die Begeisterung für soziale Medien ist hierzulande trotzdem deutlich geringer als in vielen anderen Ländern.
I want to talk about what I now think is one of the core challenges for designing large-scale social software. Let me offer a definition of social software, because it's a term that's still fairly amorphous. My definition is fairly simple: It's software t
I'm not the only woman who has tried to make herself disappear. Anorexia nervosa, the disorder of pathological self-starvation, is on the rise, with an 80% increase in hospital admissions among teenage girls over the last decade. Pressure groups and parents complain that there is still a chronic shortage of specialist care, with many GPs apparently reluctant to refer patients for treatment in the early stages of the disease. And this approach leaves children and their families to struggle on alone - usually until it is too late for simple intervention.
