w14. What did i learn in this course?-Tae Joon YOO

Through this class, I have revised and written many articles on Wikipedia. Before that, the class had been editing Wikipedia, but it is the first time to revise and write a weekly article. And we were able to learn more about the growing Wikipedia editing, not just writing text, but finding sources of writing within Wikipedia, or finding and inserting pictures. And above all, I think I was able to understand the concept of copyright.

Copyright is the most important concept in an information age and one of the most disputable concepts to be in this age of information. When adding pictures to Wikipedia through Wiki commons, we find and use unprivileged pictures, or write e-mails to those who own the copyright of the pictures, for example. Through this, we learned not only about writing but also about the ownership of writing and the ownership of photography. Above all, I was able to understand the concept of collective intelligence. I was able to understand the mechanisms of how groups of people building knowledge. They also learned about the benefits and the precautions to be taken. And what impressed me the most about this class was that the active discussion in the class allowed me to compare other people's thoughts with mine.
