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.
I am glad that you found the course useful :)
