The STOLEN principle, breaks down some of the features of using wikis educationally in order to increase the chances of the wiki being successful, and meeting the desired learning outcomes set by the tutor. It is by no means essential to meet all of these criteria, but meeting more rather than less, may increase the chances of the wiki working. These rules will probably need to be modified as the technology improves and wiki become more culturally mainstream, but as a starter these rules give a tutor some guidance.

In opt-in cultures, employees are more engaged and more productive leading the overall organization to greater success. One could debate whether a successful wiki breeds an opt-in culture or an opt-in culture breeds a successful wiki. But one thing is certain…you can't have one without the other.

Wiki use calls for a simple trade-off of control for content, perfection for timeliness. The more the members of an organization can contribute freely, the more contribution will happen. In return, employees will feel safe contributing, and the wiki will be more likely to serve its purpose.

Because of the rapidly growing popularity of social networking sites and in an attempt to reach out to those participating, many libraries have created their own Twitter accounts. Although the original intent was to network with patrons and others within their community, many libraries are finding that Twitter has many other uses beyond the simple "what are you doing?" tweet.

Citizen journalism refers to a wide range of activities in which everyday people contribute information or commentary about news events. With the birth of digital technologies, people now have unprecedented access to the tools of production and dissemination. Citizen journalism epitomizes the belief that the experiences of people personally involved with an issue present a different -- and often more complete -- picture of events than can be derived from the perspective of an outsider. Citizen journalism encompasses content ranging from user-submitted reviews on a Web site about movies to wiki-based news. It forces contributors to think objectively, asking probing questions and working to understand the context -- the kinds of activities that lead to deeper learning.

Our primary source of knowledge for this workshop is your stories about digital identity. Not your academic writings, or well-observed insights: those, we hope, will come later. First, we're asking you to contribute a small story in which you are the main charecter (or at least a first-hand witness), and which you believe illuminates an interesting aspect, or dilemma, of digital identity.
