Les Espaces de travail collaboratif

Les Espaces de travail collaboratif Présentation et intérêt Basé sur le principe du travail collaboratif, l’Espace Numérique de Travail permet à tout un groupe de toujours travailler sur la « dernière version » d’un document. Ainsi, si le manuscrit est modifié par un élève depuis son domicile via internet, un autre voit les modifications apportées en temps réel. L’ENT évite notamment au professeur d’avoir à gérer un nombre substantiel de courriels envoyés par les élèves, avec le problème que constitue la mutualisation des modifications. Quelques ressources Il existe plusieurs espaces de travail collaboratif gratuits, et il ne s’agit pas ici d’en faire une présentation complète. Office Online de Microsoft Pratique pour le suivi des documents et des rédacteurs, doté d’une interface intuitive et séduisante, cette plateforme présente cependant un gros inconvénient : pour qu’elle soit pleinement fonctionnelle (modification du fichier à la volée), l’élève doit avoir Microsoft Word sur son poste. Cette restriction m’a fait abandonner cette interface, à l’heure où les logiciels libre fleurissent. Google documents de Google Formidable outil (préférable au précédent), qui présente l’intérêt majeur de disposer de son propre traitement de texte en ligne : ainsi, plus rien à télécharger, les modifications sont directement apportées sur le document source (les sauvegardes des versions antérieures sont bien entendu effectuées). Pas besoin de logiciel sur les ordinateurs, un navigateur internet se transforme en traitement de texte. Agora Project Pas encore testé par mes soins, Agora Project semble proposer quelque chose d’hybride par rapport aux deux plateformes précédentes. Voici le lien de la documentation qui présente cet ENT : http://www.agora-project.net/divers/documentation.pdfOlivier GODET GEP Lettres – Versailles 2009 Principe de fonctionnement Quelque soit la plateforme, le principe de fonctionnement reste le même : vous créez des documents que les autres complètent. Globalement, vous gardez le contrôle, vous pouvez voir ce qui a été modifié, retrouver une version antérieure… Selon les sites, vous saurez ou non qui est connecté à l’espace de travail, et ce qu’il y a fait. Ouvrir un compte Chez Google, un simple compte mail suffit (il est préférable de ne pas utiliser celui de sa messagerie personnelle). Chez Microsoft, c’est un Windows Live ID qui est exigé (cela reste gratuit). Créer et partager des documents Une fois les documents produits (un par classe, groupe, élève…) vous n’avez plus qu’à les partager, via l’adresse électronique des élèves, en réglant leur prérogatives : • Lecteur (pas d’interaction) • Collaborateur (peut modifier le document)

Tozeur

Tozeur is an oasis and a city in south west Tunisia. The city is located North West of Chott el-Djerid, in between this Chott and the smaller Chott el-Gharsa. It is the capital of the Tozeur Governorate.

With hundreds of thousands of palm trees, Tozeur is a large oasis. The dates that are exported from Tozeur are very well known. In ancient times, before the advent of motorized vehicles, the oasis was important for the transportation through the Sahara, which took place in caravans. The name of the city in antiquity was Tusuros, it was an important Roman outpost.

In the medina (old city) of Tozeur, one can find traditional architecture, fashion and workmanship.

Luxury hotels, away from the city center, have beautiful beaches, while those outside the tourist area are beautiful.

Tameghza

Tameghza is the largest mountain oasis in Tunisia, known as Ad Turres by the Romans. It has a pleasant canyon and has an abandoned old town. The town was abandoned after the river flooded for 22 days in 1969. It is located north of the salt lakes and receives fresh water from the nearby hills. It is in the hillcountry near the border with Algeria, and is 6km from Mides.
 Tamaghza (sometimes written tamerza ) is one of the most beautiful Oasis Mountains. At over 300m altidude, it is located about 68 km (47 min) of deTozeur airport. The oasis that provides water, and a nice cool during hot weather, with this slice of mountainous landscape, sometimes beige, sometimes pink. The site, formerly called Ad Turres was responsible for the defense of the borders of the Roman Empire before becoming the seat of a bishopric under the Byzantines.
In front of the Oasis are the ruins of the ancient village of Tamerza, abandoned in 1969. Contrary to what is often said, the village has not been abandoned due to flooding, but it collapsed due to rains that lasted several days. The materials did not resist to water infiltration and the villagers moved a few hundred meters laws, the current Tamerza with just over 2500 inhabitants.

Today the ruins, also called "sleepy village of Tamerza" are visited by travelers looking for memories of a forgotten Berber land. Only the marabout is still used today.

nafta

Nafta is the religious center of the Bled el Djerid, the "Land of Palms". The marabouts still attract pilgrims from all over southern Tunisia and even from Algeria. This great veneration of the marabouts reflects the continuing vigor of Sufism, the movement which grew up in the 12th century around Sufi Abu Madian . The name of the Sufis came from the simple woolen garment (suf) they wore. They believed that the adherents of Islam, a religion of the desert, should show particular modesty of behavior and asceticism, and were much given to mysticism, the veneration of holy men, spiritual contemplation and meditation. Sufism is also marked by religious forms taken over from the pre-Islamic, animistic religions of the Berber population which orthodox Islam seeks to repress - belief in spirits, witchcraft, fortune-telling, the efficacy of amulets, etc. Regional variants of Sufism were propagated by holy men, who frequently founded their own brotherhoods, with centers for the teaching of disciples. They are credited with numerous miracles and revered for their holiness, and their tombs  are places of pilgrimage, attracting varying numbers of pilgrims according to their reputation.
Nefta is divided into 2 parts by a small oued and a depression at its northern end. To the east of the oued is the new town, with the old souk quarter at its southwestern corner; to the west, on the slopes of a hill, is the old town. The main road from Tozeur runs through the new town as Avenue Habib Bourguiba, which then crosses the oued and skirts the old town.
 In the past these holy men were also appealed to as judges in the conflicts which frequently occurred between the nomadic tribes and the settled population of the oases. Nefta is the last stronghold of this Sufism, and is sometimes called, with some justification, the Kairouen of the South". The marabouts venerated here are scattered about throughout the old town of Nefta and the oasis.

Kerkenah

Kerkennah Islands  are a group of islands lying off the east coast of Tunisia in the Gulf of Gabes, at34°42′N 11°11′E. The Islands are low-lying being no more than 13 metres (43 feet) above sea level. The main islands are Cherguiand Gharbi. The archipelago has an area of 160 square kilometres (62 sq mi) and a population of 14,400 (2006).

Kerkennah's main town, Remla (on Chergui) has a population of 2,000. The population of the islands significantly decreased during the 1980s due to drought. The islands were unable to provide suitable irrigation systems and, with clean water rapidly running out, many islanders were forced to leave for mainland Tunisia, the nearest town being Sfax.

The islands are warm and dry, with strong prevailing winds. This is mainly due to its positioning in the Gulf of Gabes, with strong sea winds (Gharbi), carried over the mainland, making them hot and dry. What little water vapour there is, is lost over cooler Tunisia first. This causes the general ecology of the island to mainly consist of tall xerophytic (and often halophytic) flora, such as palms and saltbushes.

The land is arid, as if desertification was imminent. Agriculture, therefore, is not a key industry of Kerkennah, the islanders rely more on a self-sufficient basis, such as owningchickens and goats for their own personal consumption. Fishing, including a lot of octopus fishing, is also a key industry of Kerkennah, where it is exported to mainland Tunisia and other nearby countries.

Relative to the mainland and as a result of the lack of tourist-attracting "endless" sandy beaches, tourism is limited in Kerkennah. Many mainland Tunisians spend their holidays in Kerkennah, and many more affluent Tunisians often build private second homes on the island. The Kerkennians have a negative view of road building on their island; apart from the main roads linking the port and main towns, there are only dirt tracks, which is how they desire it to stay. This causes a far from homogeneous appearance. There are someBritish and German tourists, but German tourism declined after a severe storm hit Kerkennah one year.^{[citation needed]} Such storms are rare for Kerkennah, but temperatures remain high, with a minimum of 15 °C (59 °F) and often reaching 48 °C (118 °F).

The north includes a port known as Kraten.

Sidi bou Said

    Sidi Bou Said  a town in northern Tunisia located about 20 km from the capital, Tunis.

Named for a religious figure who lived there, Abou Said ibn Khalef ibn Yahia Ettamini el Beji (previously it was called Jabal el-Menar). The town itself is a tourist attraction and is known for its extensive use of blue and white. Souvenirs can be bought in the main street. It can be reached by a TGM train, which runs from Tunis to La Marsa.

In the 12th century/13th century AD Abou Said ibn Khalef ibn Yahia Ettamini el Beji arrived in the village of Jabal el-Menar and established a sanctuary. After his death , he was buried there. In the 18th century Turkish governors of Tunis and wealthy citizens of the latter built residences in Sidi Bou Said. During the 1920s, Rodolphe d’Erlanger applied the blue-white theme all over the town.

Sidi Bou Said has a reputation as a town of artists. Artists who have lived in or visited Sidi Bou Said include Paul Klee, Gustave-Henri Jossot, August Macke, Saro Lo Turco and Louis Moillet. Tunisian artists in Sidi Bou Said are members of École de Tunis, such as Yahia Turki, Brahim Dhahak and Ammar Farhat. French philosopher Michel Foucault lived there for a number of years while teaching at the University of Tunis.
