Students and teachers alike must understand how systems of knowledge creation and archivization are changing. Encyclopedias are no longer static collections of facts and figures; they are living entities, and the new software changes the rules of expertise.

And this is why digital literacy is so crucial for educational institutions: we do a fundamental disservice to our students if we continue to propagate old methods of knowledge creation and archivization without also teaching them how these structures are changing, and, more importantly, how they will relate to knowledge creation and dissemination in a fundamentally different way.
-
What is perhaps more important and useful, though, is the extent to which Wikipedia also preserves the debate and discourse around a particular subject.
-
it also records and contributes to the politicization and dissemination of scientific research and communication. And, in order to be participants in these debates, students will need to understand the structures and rhetorics within which they take place.
-
However, the technology here is merely secondary: what is more important is teaching people how this technology changes the social sphere so that students too can be empowered to engage the polis rather than being passive users of Word Processing programs.

Carlos d'AndréaStudents and teachers alike must understand how systems of knowledge creation and archivization are changing. Encyclopedias are no longer static collections of facts and figures; they are living entities. Just check the entry on Global Warming.

It is irresponsible for educational institutions not to teach new knowledge technologies such as Wikipedia.
-
networked archival structure it represents,
-
alters the way in which we create, share, and record knowledge

Jimmy Wales, the founder of Wikipedia
-
studies were initiated to compare Wikipedia to other sources such as Britannica
-
In many of these studies, Wikipedia fared equally as well as its competitors
-
advantage of being able to correct its own errors and relish the fact that others could not do the same
-
Seigenthaler
-
rather than edit the Wikipedia entry himself, he emailed others about it
-
The entry was not changed until, after some time, another colleague of Seigenthaler decided to edit the biography
-
what seems like the easiest and most obvious initial response was not so with respect to the 78-year-old Seigenthaler
-
we do a fundamental disservice to our students if we continue to propagate old methods of knowledge creation and archivization without also teaching them how these structures are changing, and, more importantly, how they will relate to knowledge creation and dissemination in a fundamentally different way

digital literacy
-
To educational and policy institutions which, for a substantial portion of history, have maintained control over static codex centered archives—think not only academic libraries, but national ones as well—the shift to an organic structure which they no longer control or solely influence represents a crisis indeed
-
As Howard Rheingold suggests in Smart Mobs, in the future individuals will be divided between “those who know how to use new media to band together [and] those who don’t.
-
Wikipedia users tend to be more tech-savvy than the rest of the population,
-
because tech-savvy individuals are more likely to have science and engineering backgrounds, entries on these topics are some of the strongest in the encyclopedia.
-
quick reference for any number of scientific facts.
-
Wikipedia also preserves the debate and discourse around a particular subject.
-
history pages and the discussion pages
-
preserves not only its past representations, but also the discourse which produced the current entry
-
example of this is the entry on global warming, which does a good job of dividing the controversy of global warming from the science on global warming
-
students miss out if they do not also consult the discussion and history pages to understand how this article was produced
-
In prior models of knowledge, storing and recording important discursive histories was a less than transparent process; indeed, those functions were entirely unavailable.
-
Who decided that Pykrete was not important enough to make it into Britannica?
-
What this means for training people working in science and technology is that they will need to posses a new type of collaborative literacy, an ability to understand and negotiate an archival structure which is always in flux, and to which they can contribute.
-
records and contributes to the politicization and dissemination of scientific research and communication
-
And, in order to be participants in these debates, students will need to understand the structures and rhetorics within which they take place.
-
the networked digital archive changes our basis of knowledge and training people for the future is about training them for this shift
-
What is no longer archived in the same way is no longer lived in the same way.
-
more important literacy of how to use these new media collaboratively to create a different kind of knowledge.

Mathieu PlourdeThis list serves two purposes: it gives me a list of schools at which I am not likely to work anytime soon (I am a professor of Emerging Media), and it gives me a list of educational institutions which I advise students to avoid.
