彭教授，

鄙人目前沒名片，昨天失禮啦。

吃過阿邦好幾次名貴的餐點。昨天的午餐最"物"美價廉，感謝
所謂"物"是"言之有物"。鄙人一向困惑大學校長的"功能"；師生學學等多問題......

阿邦知道我每天在facebook有直播，近2年以上。
昨天聚會，哪些是"絕對機密"，不可洩漏的呢？ 請賜知.....

敬祝
平安

注意教育專題，譬如說

Educational technology (commonly abbreviated as edutech, or edtech) is the combined use of computer hardware, software, and educational theory and practice to facilitate learning.^[1]^[2] When referred to with its abbreviation, edtech, it often refers to the industry of companies that create educational technology.^[3]^[4]

In addition to the practical educational experience, educational technology is based on theoretical knowledge from various disciplines such as communication, education, psychology, sociology, artificial intelligence, and computer science.^[5] It encompasses several domains including learning theory, computer-based training, online learning, and m-learning where mobile technologies are used.

書緣：錢石英《果姑話飄泊一側寫中國百年》2017?

下午陳寬仁老師再續他母親90多歲寫的回憶錄書緣：錢石英《果姑話飄泊－－－側寫中國百年》，因為他知道多年前即轉送某人了，所以補送一本。我們研討要闢一blog來補充說明──我還說此書的一缺點是缺索引，因為書是5百多頁，牽涉到的人物頗多。

他補充的一些家族的故事，我就記在族譜和書末空頁處。

他介紹許多美國軍制與我國的差別。我們談起前月宜蘭某兵工廠炸死許多專家的慘事。他介紹美國是如何慎重和一板一眼地做這種工作，美國還做許多錄影分析安全的做法，即拆炸彈的在工作時要每一個動作都要說出來……..。他還說在美國參觀 Linear Explosives 公司的防爆牆的構法…….

我勸他先將這輩子一些難忘的長官記下來。他馬上引他在《品質人語》(台北：品質學會，2000，頁106-07)中 H. Norman Schwarzkopf 將軍的「我們從差勁的領導中所學到的，遠比從好的領導中所學到的要多得多。你學會不該這樣去做，從而便會知道怎樣去做。」

我們討論兩位中正理工的院長的「領導與人格」──我從該校的歷史，才知道他們這次投票給馬英九是屬於「含淚投票」一族，即他們學校被併入國防大學……跟馬總統陳冤也沒用。

錢石英《果姑話飄泊－－－側寫中國百年》教育專題 edutech, or edtech，譬如說黑板、白板、投影機、智慧黑板.......二記事：臺中一中的智慧黑板. 注意2領域的討論："A special edition on universities" (The Economist)；浙江省人工智慧課程，臺中一中校友總會(hc：網頁的照片是1970年拆掉的"紅樓"，於戲.....)我認為這兩則新聞都是搞不清楚學習/創造.....

錢石英《果姑話飄泊－－－側寫中國百年》台北：東大，2003

這本書，陳寬仁教授前年送的，我讀過一遍，也寫下半篇的介紹，準備貼在某網站，不過因為懶得抄錄許多內容，就擱下，現在也找不到該文之下落。

這書，只要看陳寬仁教授在書中〈關於這本書〉的說法，你一定印象深刻，因為這是位93 歲母親的回憶錄，書寫在日曆背面，每兩周從南部帶回台北，由退休的陳教授一字字鍵入電腦，他風趣地記說：「…….. 我曾經聽說過一種理論：利用回憶刺激頭腦可以延遲老年性癡呆……. 」其實，我比較傾向認為：這是一了不起的家族故事，當然也可以說從小（家族）觀大（局），「側寫中國百年」，因為它所含蓋的時空，足以當之。譬如說，簡單地提到蔣委員底下的情治單位之接觸經驗。

我請教過陳教授，有沒參考資料？

日前，接到陳教授的電子信：「長安盛事尚待完成。以前你曾問及先慈回憶錄有無其他資料，有一篇，請看附件。」（案：『一部成功的傳記文學--- 《果姑話飄泊－－－側寫中國百年》』（世新大學中文研究所碩士班研究生潘星吟的研究論文））

我答：「謝謝。真是出乎意外！有後輩如此用心……. 」

看完潘的文章（他想將某些傳記文學的理論與本書融合，我認為不太成功— 這是近來中文界的一毛病，譬如說談某人的翻譯藝術，夾帶更多篇幅的所謂翻譯理論，反而容易喧賓奪主…. ），不知道怎麼接下來寫下去。

WORK-IN-PROCESS.....???

The Economist this weekend

A special edition on universities

What does the ideal university look like? In Britain, it has long been thought to resemble Oxford. The dreaming spires have bewitched students and academics for nearly a thousand years, though few were privileged enough to study among them. Nowadays Oxford is trying hard to attract students from all backgrounds. But staff told me that it does not apply that principle to hiring professors: it’s practically impossible for poorer academics to work there. The university has a long way to go before its hiring practices are as admirable as its architecture.

Across the pond, universities and colleges are also struggling to improve access. Diversity statements have become de rigueur; studies claim that as many as one in five faculty jobs across America now require them. Some institutions have dropped the requirement for students to submit standardised exam scores, which campaigners claim favour the privileged. Meanwhile, other institutions are lurching to the right: Conservatives have seized control of New College in Florida, which was long associated with left-wing ideas. In America ideology is crowding out learning—and students are likely to be the ones who suffer as a result.

Whichever path you think universities should take, these articles will encourage you to think anew. Happy reading.
