Knowledge as a Commons

Winter quarter

Faculty:
Rick McKinnon, mckinnon.rick@comcast.net
Meeting Times:
Sat, Jan 12, 9a-12p, at Olympia campus, Mar 7-9, Fri, 6-9p, Sat, 9a-5p, Sun 9a-4p

The advent of the Internet has brought about a radical change in the way knowledge is collected, validated, and disseminated, and it has changed the learning environment for people all over the world. In this intensive weekend workshop, we’ll examine those changes, looking particularly at new ways of defining such terms as “expert,” “community” and ‘knowledge.” We’ll explore the implications of these changes on media, education, development, and science. We’ll also examine new ways of organizing and searching information that depend on user-defined categories and tags.
