The exponential growth of online repositories of knowledge (Wikipedia), media (Wikimedia Commons - the source of the image above), images (Flickr, Instagram) and video (YouTube, Vimeo) would not have been so dramatic if there was less demand.

Blogging has evolved into a very expressive form of writing, and clearly exploits the immediacy of social interaction that was unknown before social media. Wikipedia is yet another example of disruptive innovation. The same can be said for the participative Web. And because of technology, change is inevitable. Unported License.

The arrival of Creative Commons licensing made free sharing a more attractive proposition for everyone. As van Dijk (2013) has proposed, the ready acceptance of Facebook and other social media into the every day lives of a global population of users ensured that the ethos of sharing became second nature. van Dijk, J.

What if talented and knowledgeable lay-people had been excluded from contributing to Wikipedia? Would it be as popular and useful as it is today?

For the traditionalists, tools such as Google and other digital media are not to be completely trusted or relied upon, and some even consider them a distraction from the real business of learning, or question the veracity of their content. This is an oversimplification of the two positions, but hopefully the distinction is clear.

The advent of the Web, and subsequently the rise in use of social media and media sharing services has amplified this capability. Resources such as Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons have advanced learning to new levels. The copious flow of user generated content offers great benefits but also presents huge challenges.

Take Wikipedia for example. All Wikipedia has done to promote the vast ever expanding storehouse of knowledge, is to provide the environment within which it all takes place. Wikipedia facilitates knowledge generation, sharing, remixing and repurposing because it is an open, accessible space where everyone can participate.

As the man who was instrumental in setting up MIT Media Lab, and also the founding editor of Wired Magazine, much was expected of him, and he delivered, in spades. The switch I am referring to is the transition of control over content creation from the producer (film companies, record labels, broadcast media and publishers) to the consumer.

PowerPoint-resolution photos can be purchased for $1, and most illustrations (like the one in Tom’s post) for $7. Personally, I think real photos have much more impact than clipart, much of which looks very tired these days. Personally, I like to use photos as well. The results are worth it! Some very useful tips, Tom.

Most people by now know that Wikipedia is the world''s largest encyclopaedia. This is largely because literally anyone can freely create pages and edit its content, and the architecture of Wikipedia is such that no content can ever be truly lost, because the previous version of any page can be rolled back if required.

Everyone who has a smart phone it seems, is a potential photo journalist. Wikipedia has for many replaced Encyclopaedia Britannica as the first port of call for knowledge acquisition. The checks and balances being implemented by the likes of Wikipedia are attempts to ensure that such knowledge is accurate and relevant.
