Learners: The desire to understand and to improve performance based on experience. A desire to set aside time for reflection, seek out data and expertise, identify knowledge gaps, learn from experience, be curious, scan the environment for new information, disseminate what has been learned, and integrate learning so it is broadly available and can be generalized to new situations.

If you share the work of others, it’s your duty to make sure that the creators of that work get proper credit. Crediting work in our copy-and-paste age of reblogs and retweets can seem like a futile effort, but it’s worth it, and it’s the right thing to do. You should always share the work of others as if it were your own, treating it with respect and care. When we make the case for crediting our sources, most of us concentrate on the plight of the original creator of the work. But that’s only half of the story—if you fail to properly attribute work that you share, you not only rob the person who made it, you rob all the people you’ve shared it with. Without attribution, they have no way to dig deeper into the work or find more of it.
