mpm17: class 1, introduction to web 2.0
Web 2.0 allows users to move from passive consumption of media to active participation through social media platforms that connect people and facilitate the sharing of information. It provides tools for research like wikis that allow collaborative knowledge development. Web 2.0 gives rise to new forms of collective and connective intelligence as individuals create and share information that is then combined and extended by others in the network.

Bodle research
Robert Bodle's research focuses on the social and political implications of emerging social media and information technologies. Specifically, he examines privacy issues related to data sharing across social media platforms and how social networks can uphold inclusive and development-oriented societies. He teaches a course on using social media for activism and civic engagement. For service, he chairs social media committees and facilitates workshops on topics like blended learning and Second Life. He also volunteers with organizations helping the homeless and promoting public transportation.

Digital culture refers to the emerging set of values and practices expressed through online news and media. It is shaped by individualization, globalization, and user participation. Indymedia exemplifies this as a platform for participatory, open publishing and collaborative storytelling. Principal components of digital culture include values that empower individual identity and politics through blogging. It also involves the convergence of media forms and traditions as well as the remixing of new and old media. Digital media relies on active participation, remediation of reality, and personalized assembly of information through bricolage.

The document discusses how social media and digital technologies impact local democracy and civic participation. It explores early community networks that provided alternative access and content outside of traditional mass media. It also examines how social media platforms like Twitter can both enable discussion and civic engagement, but also divide people into echo chambers that make collective action difficult. While tools like filtering, feeds, and sharing provide opportunities for connection, they also constrain discussion and participation if overused. Effective use of platforms may help overcome some of these challenges.
Social media
Social media refers to internet-based applications that allow the creation and sharing of user-generated content, and includes collaborative projects, blogs, social networking sites, virtual worlds, and communities centered around media like photos and videos. It enables interactive dialogue between individuals, communities and organizations. There are six main types of social media platforms and technologies that support social media include blogs, photos, videos, posts, messaging and file sharing. Social media usage accounts for a significant amount of time spent online and continues to grow rapidly among different age groups.

YouTube is one of the most globally utilised online content sharing sites, enabling new commercial enterprise, education opportunities and facilities for vernacular creativity (Burgess, 2006). Its user engagement demonstrates significant capacity to develop online communities, alongside its arguably more popular use as a distribution platform to monetise one’s branded self (Senft, 2013). However, as a subset of Alphabet Incorporated, its access is often restricted by governments of Asian Pacific countries who disagree with the ideology of the business. Despite this, online communities thrive in these countries, bringing into question the sorts of augmentations used by its participants. This article reframes the discussion beyond restrictive regulation to focus on the DIY approach (augmentation) of community building through the use of hidden infrastructures (algorithms). This comparative study of key YouTube channels in several Asia Pacific countries highlights the sorts of techniques that bypass limiting infrastructures to boost online community engagement and growth. Lastly, this article reframes the significance of digital intermediation to highlight the opportunities key agents contribute to strengthening social imaginaries within the Asia Pacific region.Tech2002lecweekfour0809
This document discusses the concept of participatory media culture and how it has emerged with new technologies like social networks and user-generated content online. It explores how people are active participants in media through activities like sharing photos, videos, reviewing music, and interacting in online communities and games. Rather than being passive consumers, people are both consuming and producing media. This blurs the lines between audiences and media creators.

Social media refers to online technologies and practices that people use to share content such as text, images, video and audio. It allows for the creation and exchange of user-generated content. Social media is fundamentally changing how people learn, read and share information by transforming one-way communication into dialogue and democratizing information. Some key differences between social media and traditional media include lower costs of production and publication for social media, faster response times, and the ability for social media content to be updated versus traditional media content which cannot be altered once published. Social media also has fewer responsibilities around content quality and relies more on interactions and discussions between users to spread information.

1945 - Vannevar Bush conceptualized the idea of hyperlinked pages, which became the foundation of the World Wide Web. Tim Berners-Lee later developed the actual World Wide Web in 1989 at CERN using these ideas.
Online collaboration allows groups to work together in real-time over the Internet using tools like blogs and wikis. Social bookmarking services like del.icio.us allow users to bookmark and share web pages.
Artists and curators now play the role of "cultural context providers", blurring traditional lines and involving users in participatory media projects like agoraxchange. This reflects how artistic production now values collaboration over solitary work.
Media challenging capitalism
The document discusses how social media and the Occupy Wall Street movement challenge capitalism. It notes that social media enables protests through its democratic and networked structure. The characteristics of social media, such as participation, collaboration, and dynamic communication, are similar to those defining Occupy Wall Street. While social media alone does not create change, it can facilitate existing political movements through mobilization, organization, and direction of demonstrations. Occupy Wall Street is shaped by social media through open, networked, and user-driven communication that is collaborative, participatory, and co-creative.
SLL Community
This document provides an agenda and resources for a workshop on social learning and online communities. The agenda includes an overview of social media definitions and categories, demonstrations of networking tools like Ning and edWeb, and a discussion of integrating social learning into teaching. Ning and edWeb are presented as examples of online community platforms that allow users to create networks, participate in groups, and share content through features like blogs, videos and forums. Participants are directed to trial accounts on specific networks hosted on each platform. The document concludes with a link to an online evaluation form to provide feedback on the workshop.
A Small Scottish Library Service Joins the Global Community
The document discusses East Renfrewshire Library & Information Service's (ERLIS) adoption of Web 2.0 and Library 2.0 technologies to remain relevant in the 21st century. It highlights challenges faced, such as negative perceptions and budget constraints. ERLIS created Facebook pages for libraries, educated staff, and saw positive outcomes like increased awareness and attendance. Future plans include a local history wiki, bookgroup blogs, and using new equipment for podcasting. The conclusion states public libraries must build virtual spaces to connect and collaborate with their communities.
Week 2 - ground swell
This document discusses the concept of "Groundswell", which refers to a social trend where people use technologies to get things from each other rather than traditional institutions. It is driven by three forces - people, technology, and economics. Under people, it discusses how technology has enabled greater computer-mediated communication and connection between individuals. For technology, it outlines how new media and interactive Web 2.0 platforms allow user-generated content and social networking. Economics involves how online traffic can translate to money through models like advertising. The document then gives examples of specific technologies that empower people to create, connect, collaborate, react, organize content and accelerate consumption.
Interface
The document discusses the history and development of social media and connectivity online. It notes that initially, users were drawn to social media sites to fulfill a need for human connection (paragraph 1). This connectivity then allowed platforms to build profitable online markets. After the creation of the World Wide Web in 1991, more interactive and two-way platforms for online social connections emerged after 2000 (paragraph 2). Everything once shared privately, like family photos, became publicly shared. The document outlines different types of social media and discusses how platforms and social practices evolved together. It also notes how connectivity became quantifiable through metrics like likes and followers (paragraph 3). While early platforms encouraged participation and peer production, they became larger and harder to regulate after 2005 as
Significance of social media for pedagogical innovation
Social media are computer-mediated technologies that facilitate information sharing and the formation of online communities. They encourage participation, openness, conversation, and connectivity. Pedagogical innovation involves significant positive changes to how people are led to learn independently. Social media can serve as supplementary teaching tools, tools for follow up and assessment, and tools to encourage interaction, peer learning, customized learning, and real-time two-way communication. They can also enable self-paced learning and be user-friendly.
Web 2.0. - Collective Intelligence
Collective intelligence utilizes the combined contributions and insights of multiple individuals on the web. As more people add content to sites like Wikipedia, Last.fm, Flickr, and Twitter, these sites become more valuable resources of information for other users. However, collective intelligence also has limitations in terms of size, where interactions can become too difficult beyond a small number of users, and distance, where individuals need to be in close proximity to contribute and understand the full picture. When many sources provide different information about a brand or product, it can lead to consumer confusion.
Participatory cultures
A participatory culture is one where there are low barriers to artistic expression and civic participation. Members feel their contributions are valued and they feel socially connected to others. Key aspects of participatory culture include affiliations through online communities, creative expressions by producing and sharing media, collaborative problem-solving in teams, and circulating flows of information through social media. While participatory cultures enable widespread sharing of creativity, they also present challenges around moderating inappropriate content.
Prb Digital R And P V 1
1. The document discusses the key components of digital culture as participation, remediation, and bricolage.
2. Participation refers to how digital culture enables individuals to create and share content online through activities like blogging, contributing to open publishing initiatives, and telling personal stories.
3. Remediation describes how new media both diverges from and reproduces older media, and how media refashions itself in response to new technologies through distantiation.
4. Bricolage involves creating works using available materials and reusing existing artifacts, exemplified by open source movements, file sharing networks, and how journalists and bloggers incorporate multiple sources into their work.
Social networks
Social networks allow users to connect with others who share similar interests and activities. They consist of user profiles and the connections between users, and most are web-based, allowing interaction through email and instant messaging. Early social networks developed on the web in the 1990s as online communities for chatting and sharing personal pages and content. User profiles became central to social networks, letting users find friends and others with common interests. Social networks make it possible to connect people across borders, and encourage cooperation through information sharing, which can benefit communities. Researchers now study the impacts of social media on issues like identity, privacy, relationships, and education.
Summary of my Doctoral Research, Interests
This document summarizes research on analyzing user-generated content on social media. The research focuses on extracting named entities and topics people discuss, analyzing word usage to understand expressions and intentions, and understanding how content, users, and networks interact to shape social phenomena online. Previous work on text analysis does not fully address challenges of informal language in social media. The research aims to supplement natural language processing with contextual and external information to analyze social media text. It has examined various problems using data from social platforms and collaborated with industry and academic labs.
A review for the online social networks literature
This document summarizes a literature review of 132 journal articles on online social networks published between 2005-2011. The articles were classified into four categories: Applications, Survey and Analysis, Concept, and Technique. The review found that the majority of articles focused on applications of social networks and that research in developing countries was lacking. The review aims to provide insights into research trends on social networks to help both academics and practitioners.
Citizens, Journalists and User-Generated Content
This document summarizes research on user-generated content and citizen journalism. It discusses how user-generated content has long been central to community media. It reviews previous research on whether community media "mattered" and if it gave citizens a voice. It argues this research missed how community media has changed in the digital age. It provides the example of OhmyNews, a site where citizens and journalists collaborate to provide news. It suggests more study is needed on how such collaboration between citizens and journalists can flourish.
Participation, Remediation And Bricolage1
Deuze analyzes digital culture as emerging values and practices influenced by computerization and an increasingly individualized global society. He identifies three principal components of digital culture: participation through open publishing and collaborative production; remediation as both distantiation from mainstream media and as a social act; and bricolage as reselecting and rearranging online elements to create culture through social systems. Deuze sees cultures existing alongside each other with overlapping values that have different meanings across media, and that there is no single digital culture as it is constantly evolving through human participation.

This document discusses the implications of social and participatory media on education. It begins by providing an overview of these new technologies, including their ability to enable new forms of interaction, user-generated content, collective aggregation, and community formation. It then discusses how these technologies can support constructivist and socially situated pedagogies through tools that enable peer critiquing, user generated content, and reflective, dialogic and peer-based learning. However, it also notes these technologies create a digital divide and new digital literacy demands. The document examines some positive impacts, such as access and personalization, and negative impacts, such as questions around the role of educational institutions.

This document discusses new technologies and opportunities for public libraries in the age of Web 2.0. It outlines how libraries can use tools like social networking, crowdsourcing, and user-generated content to enhance services and promote democratic values. Specifically, libraries have an opportunity to reduce digital divides, increase access to information, and serve as community hubs for public discourse. The emergence of collective intelligence on the web also presents a chance for libraries to take on a new "political" mission of supporting democratic participation and digital socialism.
Investigative Report - Social Media
The document discusses how libraries are adopting social media and web 2.0 technologies to better serve patrons and remain relevant, as outlined in the Library 2.0 concept. It examines challenges libraries face in implementing these new services, such as choosing which technologies to adopt from the many options and ensuring sites are constantly updated. The document also notes privacy concerns that arise from users sharing information online and the need for libraries to protect patron privacy. Adopting social media allows libraries to connect with users in their online communities.

Social Media for Libraries - Presentation paper Karen du Toit Bekti Mulatini...
Abstract: The social media statistics of South Africa reveal an exponential increase in the use of social media. Libraries, as part of a community, cannot ignore this! Social media provide libraries instant and direct connection with their members regardless their geographical location. This paper explores social media use in libraries. The establishment of social media for the SABC Media Libraries is discussed to demonstrate a practical implementation of social media in libraries and archives. Tips and resources, with specific mention to Twitter and Facebook, as well as social media etiquette and social media policy guidelines are supplied. The literature of published articles and Infographic show the changing role of librarians in the social media era and the need for librarians to keep learning and update their skills to accommodate users’ needs.
The focus should now be on how well we do social media for the library, not on whether we should do it or not!

The document discusses knowledge strategy in a networked society and proposes two propositions: 1) That public value will be more effectively achieved through strategic policies that treat user value as flows across institutions rather than actions based on institution classes. 2) Public value will best be achieved by integrating unrelated institutions into a coordinated strategy. It suggests taking an ecosystem approach to create a public knowledge network and explores how knowledge institutions may need to change to remain relevant in the future.
Going social: the librarians bag of tricks
The document discusses the transition of libraries to Library 2.0 by embracing social media and web 2.0 technologies and principles. Key points include engaging users through social computing applications like blogs, wikis and podcasts; harnessing user participation and collaboration; and meeting users online through channels they use regularly like social networking sites and repositories. The goal for librarians is to have conversations with users through many platforms, gather and organize information for them, and share and remix content to better serve users in online spaces.

Social Media, Libraries, and Web 2.0: How American Libraries are Using New To...Curtis Rogers, MLIS, EdD
This document discusses how libraries in the United States are using social media and Web 2.0 tools to promote services and attract new users. It provides an overview of key terms like social media and Web 2.0 and describes how libraries have embraced these tools, with many focusing on blogs, content management systems, social networks, and instant messaging. While some libraries fear potential security issues, these tools allow libraries to better compete with bookstores and communicate their value. A survey found the majority of libraries using tools like blogs and social networks to promote services.Redes dentro de Redes: dinâmicas sociais baseadas na técnica

This document provides a case study on Citilab, a living lab located in Cornella de Llobregat, Barcelona. Citilab is housed in a former textile factory from the late 19th century that fell into disuse. In the 2000s, local activists worked to connect the community to the internet and launch innovation projects through CornellaNet.

It has over 4,500 members who participate in projects and digital literacy programs.
Citilabs paper-jci final
The document discusses the evolution of community networks and participation. Early community networks focused on access, but now people want to participate and innovate. Living labs aim to bring together citizens, companies, universities and governments to jointly drive open innovation projects to meet local needs. The Citilab in Cornella, Spain is presented as a case study, creating a collaborative environment since 2004 where local demands have spurred innovation projects and the evolution to a "lab society".
Wikinomics - Mrs Brown
This document provides an overview of key concepts from the book "Wikinomics" by Don Tapscott and Anthony Williams.

Chris batt unc presentation 05-10
The document discusses the future of libraries and knowledge institutions in a digital world. It argues that libraries will need to transition from being reactive to proactive and strategic to remain valuable. Libraries should form new partnerships with other knowledge institutions and take an ecosystem approach, where public value comes from managed knowledge flows across different organizations with a shared mission of increasing access to knowledge and learning. To be successful in the future, libraries will need to think beyond just their relationship with technology and take a leadership role in defining and integrating knowledge access for citizens.

Web 2.0 -_hype_or_helpful
Social networking tools like Facebook and YouTube are increasingly being used by public libraries to promote their resources to wider audiences. A survey found that over 6% of public libraries already had a Facebook presence, with more planning to create one. Libraries are seeking to integrate social interaction and encourage user groups by offering reviews, discussions and personalized services on their websites. This will allow libraries to build new relationships and remain a key source of information for users accustomed to social media.
SOCHE Keynote Address 2013

Metaliteracy is presented as a framework that promotes critical thinking and collaboration in digital spaces. It emphasizes metacognition and the ability to critically evaluate one's own skills. The document outlines several metaliteracy objectives like understanding different content formats and privacy issues. Examples are given of how metaliteracy can be practiced, including a student project and potential badging system. Overall, the presentation argues that metaliteracy provides a more comprehensive approach for engaging with information in today's online world.

Strengthening Social Inclusion in Multicultural Societies through Information...
This study examined the information needs and literacy skills of foreign residents in Didim, Turkey. A survey of 77 foreign residents found they have basic computer and library skills but their Turkish language proficiency is inadequate. They identified health, education, recreation, and practical community information as highly important needs. However, the current public library system fails to meet these needs due to a lack of multilingual collections, services, and community information resources. The researchers recommend long-term improvements to the public library system to make it more multilingual and culturally inclusive, as well as short-term initiatives like developing online information literacy tutorials and a multilingual community information portal.
Euromed 2011
This document discusses the role of multicultural library services in promoting social inclusion and intercultural communication for foreign residents. It notes the increasing diversity in Europe and Turkey's foreign population, which includes many Turkish citizens. The EU promotes social inclusion through education and lifelong learning. Libraries can support this by providing multilingual materials and programs. A study of European residents in Didim, Turkey found needs for health, education, and practical information in their languages. While the local library serves residents, it lacks non-Turkish resources and staff knowledge. The author argues multicultural services could help bridge gaps and promote understanding between groups in Turkey's increasingly diverse society.
