This document discusses the concept of "produsers," where in collaborative online communities, all participants both consume and produce information, taking on hybrid roles. It provides several quotes related to this concept, including one noting that value created in a community may not be immediately realized but have future potential value. Another quote discusses an impending "collision" as human potential clashes with limited choices. The document advocates for focusing on more than just tests and knowledge in education, but also non-academic engagement.

3. Produsing
In collaborative communities the creation of shared
content takes place in a networked, participatory
environment which breaks down the boundaries between
producers and consumers and instead enables all
participants to be users as well as producers of information
and knowledge – frequently in a hybrid role of produser
where usage is necessarily also productive.

7. “Not all the value produced by a community or a
network is immediately realized. Activities and
interactions can produce “knowledge capital”
whose value lies in its potential to be realized later.”
Etienne Wenger, Beverly Trayner and Maarten de Laat (2011)

9. “we're about to career into a Great Collision — people
bumping up against the self-imposed perimeter of their own
carefully constructed lives; human potential crashing
headlong against choices that make the least of it. ... It's a
collision that's going to happen inside each of us — and then,
maybe, result in a collision that happens outside each of us.”
Umair Haque (2012)

10. “I did all my recording last week and included some underwater footage. I thought it would be
different and interesting for the viewer to see. However, I never thought it would be as useful as it has
turned out to be. When I looked back over the footage that had been taken of my swimmer’s I was
amazed at the amount of technique issues that I couldn’t see from above the water.”

11. “Hi Keith, This is my prezi.
I've never done one of these before, so this was a great
learning experience. Hopefully it all works.”

12. “If our ultimate goal is to educate human beings, then we must
focus not only on knowledge and information, discipline and
surveillance as measured by tests, but also on non-academic
pleasures, motivations, skills, and the full array of human
engagement that sustains attention and meaning.”
Susan Bloom, 2013
