W15. What did I learn while editing Wikipedia? How is the assignment different from more traditional student assignment? Is it more fun?
I could learn the power of collective intelligence by editing Wikipedia. I already knew the word collective intelligence, but I didn't have a chance to make it happen consistently. Because traditional student assignments were the process of finding problems and solving alone or as a team. In comparison, this task is the process of solving problems by gathering and discussing opinions with everyone around the world, not just a few team members. We say this is a global era, but chances to communicate with so many and various people are not very common. The fact that many things, such as nationality, gender, and age, work with other strangers made this interesting. This class is over, but I will provide helpful information to others.
