INLS 180 Day 13 Notes

Nov. 30, 2005

LITA

PHR

1. One minute papers

Points

Don’t get an xbox!

Interesting paradox: we see democracy as ultimate political system yet question wikipedia, preferring more authoritative/official sources

Evaluation skills are important

Online systems allow far more collaboration styles and venues

ISEE is cool/useful

A publishing paradigm shift is underway

Tradeoff between broad participation and trustworthiness

ISEE links continuous media to text

The collaborative vs commercial distinction is somewhat unfair/inaccurate

Questions

Has anyone tried to study the authoritativeness of wikipedia authors?  [nice masters or phd study]

More interaction leads to more conformance-> for society?

Will one data set publication model win out?

Why are people worried about extensive engagement in virtual communities?

Is reputation transferable?

ISEE limitation to a few people seem a strong limitation?

CMC implications for developing countries?

Are there positive effects of multi-user games?

Are MUDS precursors to SIMS?

Are we moving from an ‘expert’ model to a community of learners society?

Is fluidity of information and effective measure of authority? [persistence implies quality?]
