W14. What did I learn in this course? - Clément Chevallier

When I chose the course "Collective Intelligence in Practice", I did not really know what expect. I knew that we will work on Wikipedia and I was scared because I never wrote an article before.

During this class, I learnt how to modify add an article, including text, pictures, links, references... When my first article was available on the online encyclopedia, I was so proud of me ! In addition, I enjoy a lot when I upload my own pictures on Wikipedia. I also learnt how to communicate with other users and integrate a great community. I like when I receive help from unknow people and help others in return.

This class was also a good way to learn more and debate about some interesting concepts as reliability, online civility, free culture or consensus. Indeed, I rarely talk about these kind of subjects during my previous courses.

I think this class is important because we understand more what is Internet 2.0 and the sharing economy, which are important issues for the present and for the future. I think it is also useful because working for a collective intelligence system can be a good ability that employers need. Do you think you will speak about your works on Wikipedia during your future interviews ?

Clément Chevallier.
