Why am I taking this class? - Dayoung Ryu


How collective intelligence works in right way?

As everyone knows, the students in AD/PR department have a lot of team projects. 

I have spent a year with five team projects, and it was tough. I have met some good friends and had good teamwork. Also, I got some bad students who want to just ‘ride’ (this means he doesn’t work for a team project at all but takes only good score in the class.) and terrible teamwork.

Why do I write about my team projects? Because I think the team project is basically based on collective intelligence.

All student doesn’t have same ideas and creatives. They have their own ideas about same theme, brand, product, issue, and company. Everyone has different knowledge in different areas. The team project ties together those different knowledge and experience in one project.
One’s idea can make a project clearer, another’s knowledge can make that more prudent and affluent, and the other’s skill can visualize it. However, if there was only one in this project, the result might be worse than the project made up by those people. ‘More people make it better,’ this is the basic idea of collective intelligence.

I have doubt about this sentence. How more people make something better? I know collective intelligence can make something bad, as I’ve experienced once in several team projects. Is there any case of bad example of collective intelligence? There are some Korean Wikis, such as Areumdri-Wiki, Namu-Wiki, Wiki-how, and so on. People use them, but still there are a lot of problems. There is no reference, no proper evidence, and so much joke.

How collective intelligence works in right way? What makes people join this gathering-intelligence activity? I’m wondering, and this is reason why am I taking this class.

    I agree that team projects are based on collective intelligence basically. There is an old saying, 'A lot of cooks spoil the broth.' So is the sentence 'More People Make Better' right? I think your thinking is right. I think the wrong information that civilians write without source, without proof, is an example.

WK 5.2 The Benevolent Dictator - Hanane Ben Abdeslam

In the reading it starts with the example of a “Neo-Nazi” dictator, it didn’t say when it exactly happened but I think it was during World War I and II. This dictator just did what he wanted to do, locking articles down, ban people, and protecting their own reputation and integrity. Actually, for someone to have that much power by a community founder is not unique to Wikipedia. Such leaders are often found in a project around, which a community develops, or otherwise emerge from a leaderless context by way of merit. However, Wikipedia is not an anarchy, democracy, nor a monarchy. Because of the voluntary and meritocratic character of open content communities it is not surprising that leaders are expected to lead by example as their very leadership is founded upon exemplary behavior. This means that leadership emerges through action rather than appointment. The prominent leader of an open content community is sometimes characterizing as a benevolent dictator. This is a variation on a t...

W2. What is Wikipedia - Seungju Lee

Summary Wikipedia is a multilingual online encyclopedia as an collaboration project. It isn't made by one people. Anyone can write and share information. It is maintained by non profit organizations. It is the largest and most popular  general reference work on the World Wide Web, and is one of the 20 most popular websites. Diverse information can be found in encyclopedia. Interesting point Wikipedia is made by group. All people in group can share their own information. Not only expert, but also anyone who have interest in topic, they can participate in make dictionary. I had a negative opinion about this in past, because this can affect on accuracy of information. But, after I realized that  this is "collaboration" project, many people can give a feedback to writers who post wrong information. So I could change my mind that that kind of feedback make good circulation on advance of wikipedia. And also it is collaboration project,  so I think variety of informat...

W2. What is Wikipedia? / Juhee Cha

After reading http://reagle.org/joseph/2010/gfc/foreward.html http://reagle.org/joseph/2010/gfc/preface-web.html http://reagle.org/joseph/2010/gfc/preface.html *Summary Wikipedia is a collaborative community that can freely and voluntarily make changes to the world. empower people to a wide The people who share knowledge here are not for the sake of money but for the people who love knowledge sharing itself. The data that you normally seek for knowledge is limited. These materials are difficult to produce and logically technical. But Wikipedia makes those processes simple. Wikipedia goes through the process of discussing drafts, sending comments, pointing out what is missing, and presenting ideas. *Interesting Point There was also definitely a negative perception of the Internet dictionary before taking the class. The biggest reason for this was that the public, not the 'experts', could modify it. But rather, after learning about Wikipedia's principles, I changed m...
