I am impresed by this definition because this source has dedicated their entire exsistence to educating the masses. Im also impressed with the evelution of the term media literacy. If someone wasnt looking into the term they still provide the older definition.

"Media Literacy is a 21st century approach to education. It provides a framework to access, analyze, evaluate, create and participate with messages in a variety of forms — from print to video to the Internet. Media literacy builds an understanding of the role of media in society as well as essential skills of inquiry and self-expression necessary for citizens of a democracy."

Definitions, however, evolve over time and a more robust definition is now needed to situate media literacy in the context of its importance for the education of students in a 21st century media culture. CML now uses this expanded definition:

Why is mass online collaboration useful in solving mathematical problems? Part of the answer is that even the best mathematicians can learn a great deal from people with complementary knowledge, and be stimulated to consider ideas in directions they wouldn't have considered on their own. there are problems that can be solved by the human mind,and with internet collaboration many minds can work together
One of the things that's fascinating to me about the ability of the internet with respect to science is just this - more conversations, quicker feedback. I think that a perfect case in point is the OPERA group's announcement that they'd measured neutrinos travelling faster than the speed of light. Their preliminary findings led to a slew of criticisms, commentary, and discussions of the implications the truth of the findings would have for physics. That in turn is leading the OPERA group to conduct a new, more refined experiment.
And this all happened in the space of a month!-

The future of online etiquette is already here — it’s just unevenly distributed

The biggest challenge for modern etiquette is that we have so many different forms of communication available to us now, but not everyone agrees on how or when it is appropriate to use them. As anyone who has missed an important email knows by now, modern communications etiquette is a minefield of unspoken expectations and potential anxiety-inducing behavior. If you need further proof, all you have to do is look at some of the responses to a recent blog post by New York Times writer Nick Bilton about his approach to email, voice mail and texting: some reacted with distaste bordering on horror, while others cheered his take on the topic. Part of the problem is that different users look at these tools differently — and in some cases have wildly different views of what is appropriate and what isn’t. -

. The authors maintain that the approach addresses many challenges found in the research focusing on the pedagogy of information literacy skills, and therefore, provides a strong basis for continued development of these skills in the upper-level curriculum. This approach is unusual in that it involves approximately 25 instructors, both regular and adjunct, teaching common basic information literacy skills to 900-1000 lower-level students each semester, whose learning is periodically assessed using an internally-developed information literacy exam.

MEMBERSHIP TURNOVER AND COLLABORATION SUCCESS IN ONLINE COMMUNITIES: EXPLAINING RISES AND FALLS FROM GRACE IN WIKIPEDIA. By: Ransbotham, Sam; Kane, Gerald C. MIS Quarterly. Sep2011, Vol. 35 Issue 3, p613-627. 15p. 3 Charts, 1 Graph. Abstract: Firms increasingly turn to online communities to create valuable information. These communities are empowered by new information technology-enabled collaborative tools, tools such as blogs, wikis, and social networks. Collaboration on these platforms is characterized by considerable membership turnover, which could have significant effects on collaborative outcomes. We hypothesize that membership retention relates in a curvilinear fashion to effective collaboration: positively up to a threshold and negatively thereafter. The longitudinal history of 2,065 featured articles on Wikipedia offers support for this hypotheses: Contributions from a mixture of new and experienced participants both increases the likelihood that an article will be promoted to featured article status and decreases the risk it will be demoted after having been promoted. These findings imply that, contrary to many of the assumptions in previous research, participant retention does not have a strictly positive effect on emerging collaborative environments. Further analysis of our data provides empirical evidence that knowledge creation and knowledge retention are actually distinct phases of community-based peer production, and that communities may on average experience more turnover than ideal during the knowledge retention phase.

this is a well written article. To me it meets the standard requirements for a credible source. It does because it was written by multiple people and they were honest.

Internet as a Potential tool for Destination Branding A case Study of Pakistan. By: Rizvi, Syeda Nazish Zehra. Interdisciplinary Journal of Contemporary Research in Business. Nov2012, Vol. 4 Issue 7, p805-814. 10p. 2 Diagrams, 2 Charts, 1 Graph. Abstract: Destination branding is being increasingly used in today's world by nations to enhance their global goodwill and brand image. Pakistan, a country facing crucial times in terms of its security, economy, and political situation, is in dire need of this marketing tool in order to reinvent its brand image and revive its local and foreign tourism. This research analyzes the potential of internet as a tool to build and enhance the destination brand equity of Pakistan. The statistical analysis provides a potential segment which is greatly influenced by the internet in terms of their consumption decisions and depicts a significantly better travelling inclination. By correlating the respondent's travel statistics with their attitude towards internet the research provides a theoretical framework through regression analysis, for the government and private organizations working in Pakistan, for attracting consumers towards the various destination brands of Pakistan.
