Why are you taking this class? / CAI MUBO

The most important reason is I think this class keeps up with the times. My major is journalism&mass communication but I do not want to study only my professional knowledge. I really want to expand 'my database'.

Collectivity is the source of strength, and all people are the cradle of wisdom. I always agree with that. However, 'collective intelligence' this phrase is frequently appears in textbooks of high schools and universities in China. So it made me believe that collective intelligence is important once again.

In my opinion collective intelligence ≠ collected intelligence. Because collected intelligence is more like only one people doing things. Somebody he said that collective intelligence is like pizza. Everyone in the team contributed as much as a small pieces of pizza, which eventually came together to make a big pizza.

In the end I hope that I can learn something different from this class. And use the Wikipedia that new way to learn about collective intelligence.

    I hope you'll find the Wikipedia module fun! Try making some edits ASAP to get a feel for it (and extra points!).

    I totally agree with you on wanting to learn something else than my major. I'm majoring on Advertisement and Public Relationship and this is my first time taking the lecture for J&MC. I'm also looking forward to learn new kind of things too.

    I don't know if I understood the 'collective intelligence ≠ collected intelligence' part right, but I personally think the two of them are eventually the same, but what makes difference between them is the efficiency of process or more like time that needs to be spent. We have limited amount of time and we can not get to know everything with experience of oneself. So this is why we need everyone to participate in collective intelligence like you said. I mostly agree with your opinion but that's the little thing that I think a bit differently. :)

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...

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...
