What Wikipedia Is Best at Explaining - NYTimes.com - 1 views

www.nytimes.com/...07FOB-medium-t.html wikis collaboration
shared by Eric Kattwinkel on 09 Nov 10 - No Cached
  • Because entries are anonymous and collaborative, no author is tempted to showboat and, in the pursuit of literary glory, swerve from the aim of clarity and utility.
  • At the strenuously collectivist Wikipedia, it seems, “ownership” of an article — what in legacy media is called “authorship” — is strictly forbidden. But it’s more than that: even doing jerky things that Wikipedia calls “ownership behavior” — subtle ways of acting proprietary about entries — is prohibited.
  • Eric Kattwinkel on 09 Nov 10
     
    Timely article about ideas of ownership and authorship and collaboration on wikipedia. Mentions that you can type "WP: OWN" into Wikipedia to read its policy about "ownership" of articles. "The page is fascinating for anyone who has ever been part of a collaborative effort to create anything."

The Situation - Television Tropes & Idioms - 0 views

shared by Garron Hillaire on 08 Nov 10 - No Cached
  • Google pulled all their ads on October 26th, due to TOS violations on the part of the wiki and forums — specifically "adult and mature content" on pages that carried Google Adsense ads. These ads provided far and away the majority of the site's operating budget.
  • Turn off anonymous editing in the wiki. This is so that we can tell Google, "See, we do have standards, and we can identify and take action against people who violate them." This has already been implemented.
  • Segregate "adult and mature content" behind some sort of barrier that you will have to explicitly agree to go through. This has been implemented
  • ...1 more annotation...
  • Nofollow tags will be attached to outbound links on wiki pages. This is an invisible-to-users tag that tells the Ad Server "The following link goes somewhere that isn't us. Don't hold us responsible for their content."
  • Garron Hillaire on 08 Nov 10
     
    TV Tropes is being very transparent about creating a moderation system for the content. This is in response to loosing advertising dollars from Google. It is interesting to see the outline for their model of moderating content. Some of these elements could be used in a web 2.0 environment for education

    Here is a follow up on this topic of how children learn best when collaborating - this time in a formal setting - http://spotlight.macfound.org/blog/entry/student-centered_learning_in_the_digital_age/ These studies/examples push further the question around technology and if that can replace a teacher. Its perhaps really hard to answer that question with one answer for the various kinds of learning spaces.
