W2: Good Faith Collaboration: The Culture of Wikipedia and Mitch Resnick’s TED video

Good Faith Collaboration: The Culture of Wikipedia：

After reading 'Good Faith Collaboration: The Culture of Wikipedia' my thoughts..

In this era of internet, everyone has a platform to express their opinions. Any thoughts and opinions can be posted online through comments, and people all over the world can see those comments, which was unimaginable before.  As everything has two sides, the disadvantage of internet shouldn’t be ignored. The Internet has a free and anonymous environment, which gave birth to the existence of “Keyboard Warrior” to unrestrained rumor-mongering on the internet, and those false comments fool you into believing false information. Through "Good Faith Collaboration: The Culture of Wikipedia" (Good Faith Collaboration: The Culture of Wikipedia) this book has given me a clearer understanding of reviews, the advantages and disadvantages behind this new type of communication. 

In addition, in this book, Joseph Reagle also examines the Wikipedia community composed of Wikipedians, who "show sincerity" when interacting with each other in a cooperative culture. The special feature of this sincere cooperation culture exists not only in the writing and editing of articles, but also in their discussion pages and edit histories. Keeping an open perspective on both knowledge claims and other contributors, Reagle argues, creates an extraordinary collaborative potential. 

Wikipedia's style of collaborative production has been imitated, analyzed, and satirized. Despite the social unease over its implications for individual autonomy, institutional authority, and the character (and quality) of cultural products, Wikipedia's good-faith collaborative culture has brought us closer than ever to a realization of the century-old pursuit of a universal encyclopedia.


Mitch Resnick’s TED video

watching Mitch Resnick’s TED video...

Professor Mitch Resnick in the video table is: 

1. Draw an analogy between reading and writting. When you learn to read and write, you have more opportunities to find out more. When you learn how to read, you can learn by reading.

2. Understand that the propose of learning something is to learn meaningfully, and this is the best way to learn. This way of learning is meaningful and motivating.

3. When you can read and write proficiently, it does not mean that you have to become a professional writer. Only a few people become proficient writers, but learning to read and write is useful for everyone.

In the same way, learning programming is not to become a programmaer or computer expert, but to express thoughts and feelings freely in learning programming languages. In this process, you can learn how to simplify and decompose complex problems, how to find and correct mistakes when they make mistakes, how to face setbacks when they fail, learn to think creatively and reason systematically, etc.

W10 : Can we think of some example of how Internet has changed our culture? / 박소민(SOMIN PARK)

 1. Summary  The Internet has changed our culture so much. First, through the Internet, we can meet people regardless of distance. People in each country communicated over the Internet and reduced the barriers to distance by creating relationships. Also, the Internet has let us stay away from books. When we want to find expertise, we can get it from Wikipedia or Google. Even information in books can be obtained through e-books, reducing access to libraries and paper books. 2. Interesting point Further to the above, our brains are gradually degenerating because we don't have to remember information. We are constantly interrupted by SNS notifications ringing on our phones when we do something, so our concentration and attention are being reduced. Furthermore, the ease of obtaining information online is causing our short-term memory to decline. 3. Discussion point I think the Internet has made it easy to sever a relationship with a person because we can meet another person simply...

W7: Review of Good Faith Collaboration / Suyoung Han

  Review of Good Faith Collaboration 1) Summary – Wikipedia from an ethnographic perspective: focusing on collaboration within the community Wikipedia, which is called the world's largest encyclopedia, is an open community and is becoming more and more solid with the participation of various people, conflict, and resolution. In this respect, Joseph M. Reagle Jr. attempted to explain the culture that takes place within Wikipedia. The book describes how Wikipedia was created and what it values. In particular, he described Wikipedia in a book from an ethnographic point of view, and focused on cooperation within the community. 2) Interesting Point – Wikipedia is simple, but not I realized that Wikipedia is not just a site made up of community activities, but rather a collaborative activity that is carried out concretely for the goal. Before I read the book, Wikipedia was an encyclopedia site that only gave me information (even I didn't trust the information), and I thought ...

w9: Its often said by teachers that “Wikipedia is a good place to start, but a bad place to finish” why? LiuXinlei

 Its often said by teachers that “Wikipedia is a good place to start, but a bad place to finish” why? In terms of the comprehensiveness of the content, we have to admit the advantages of Wikipedia. For example, Wikipedia is undoubtedly my first choice when I don't understand an event at all. It is convenient, fast and comprehensive, and I can spend the least time to understand the whole content of this fact as comprehensively and neutrally as possible. But in the process of in-depth learning, Wikipedia can only be used as an introductory content, because in learning we need to understand this fact as much as possible, and we need to understand the different views of scholars in different regions on the same event. There will be different theories. Some theories seem to be not neutral or even discriminatory or ethnographic at present (such as Marxism and Marxism in China), and it is not suitable for Wikipedia. Be shown. In short, Wikipedia has a very low threshold for users. It assu...
