Make/AssignmentBanks/Repositories/UserGeneratedContent

Just though Paul might be interested. An assignment in the Assignment Bank?

Here I suggest that Vialogues adopt some ds106 secret herbs and spices.

Absolutely a user generated site.

Is this an assignment bank? No, but it has a little bit of the imperative feel of daily create--do something, dammit.

Is this a Make Bank?

Comments on the potential transitoriness of make banks down the road.

#Clmooc's version of the make bank--user generated stuff that was done and stuff that others can do.

This is not a make bank, but one could have generated this with a make 'directive'. Get together and talk about how a MOOC might be generated. I suppose that every creative act can be reverse engineered into a make--a recursive, imperative. I did this and if I was to help someone else generate something similar then I would give these instructions and suggestions. Described this way it doesn't sound very creative at all. Sounds more like a recipe, very instrumental. Yet...great creativity can arise from a template completed with love.

I finally settled upon the keywords "user generated content" for my Google Scholar search. Then I realized that what make banks and ds106 style repositories do is take user suggestions, give them a platform, and channel energy. That is exactly what a teacher might do with a learner and it what Chad talks about in his Digital.Is post from a few years ago: http://digitalis.nwp.org/resource/3969
