W14. What did I learn in this course?

 First, I learned how to add references and how to cite information. It is important to clarify original sources. It makes the information that I add more credible. I realized the importance of citations and references.
 Second, I could understand copyright a little better than before. Honestly, I didn’t care about copyright when I just enjoyed contents on the Internet. Copyright law can conflict with the principle of Wikipedia, so it is careful to add information without free copyright license.
 In addition, I could know how collective intelligence works. I thought that Wikipedia is perfect information source before this semester, but it is not complete and forever. This is the aspect of collective intelligence. I think it may not be finished.
 Finally, I learned about recent social movements. I found out free culture movement through Wikipedia. The principle of Wikipedia and the way it works reflect the current trends of culture and also show the future of culture.

 This course was so useful and interesting. I usually wanted to learn about collective intelligence before, and this class was a great opportunity to study about it.
