assigning wikipedia
David (et. al.), I've assigned Wikipedia editing as part of my new media course, giving students the freedom to choose their area of expertise. I blogged about the results and students' impressions of the process at http://justtv.wordpress.com/2007/03/16/wiki-lessons . One of the problems with Wikipedia's own catalogue of academic assignments is that the guide to WP writing insists on objective neutrality, whereas reflecting on pedagogy & process is inherently subjective - thus the list of assignments offers no self-reflection on the process, making it difficult to discern whether the project was worthwhile or worth emulating. -Jason On Nov 11, 2008, at 11:02 AM, air-l-request@listserv.aoir.org wrote:

aoir people,
has anyone had any experience with assigning students the task of altering, improving, and tweaking their university page on wikipedia? in other words, has anyone assigned their college/university wikipedia page as a site of construction for a class? if so, i'm curious to hear any anecdotes, experiences, best-practices, relevant readings, and anything else you wish to share.

On this front, I teach a class on Conflict Management and the students read my chapter on Wikipedia's Neutral Point of View and Assume Good Faith as cultural norms facilitating the productive management of conflict. As an exercise yesterday, the students broke up into groups, identified some sort of contentious issue, and wrote both a "biased" and "neutral" stub on that topic. I think it worked pretty well -- and I was intrigued by the results -- in communicating what is at the heart of Wikipedia, and adding another sense of the word "neutral" in the conflict literature. (Neutral is used by some to indicate un-empathic alienated speech, and by others as productively descriptive speech without negative emotional residues.)
Hi I'm teaching Media Effects and using the Blackboard wiki tool for student group projects. The Blackboard wiki does not work like Wikipedia, but utilizes similar ideas of "open space" and "group collaboration." The Blackboard wiki is not public, and only enrolled students have access to it. However, this tool allows students to use this work space to create and construct their own research content with regard to a particular media effects topic (e.g., effects of violence and sex, agenda setting, cultivation, U&G, effects of new media, etc.). Apparently my students don't actively use wiki, blogs, podcasts before taking this class, we spent a lot of time to learn the basic functions, give each other critiques, and gradually develop the content to have a better focus and organization. However, most of them enjoy the "learning by doing" practice and find the wiki project useful and interesting. jennie hwang assistant professor, communication cal poly, san luis obispo

Hi Maria, Yes. The wiki tool is an add-on. Cal Poly purchased the license from Learning Objects/Team LX: http://www.learningobjects.com/teams.jsp to have a wiki tool in Bb. This wiki is VERY BASIC, but has specific tracking system for the instructor to grade individual contribution as well as collective collaboration. One benefit of having a wiki embedded in Bb is that it's easier to maintain and manage students' work. I've also used WetPaint (http://www.wetpaint.com/), which is free and with unlimited memory. The site looks very attractive since you can choose different templets to set up your wiki. The ads can be turned off if you email the WetPaint administrator, indicating that the wiki is used for education only. jennie On Nov 12, 2008, at 3:33 PM, Maria E.Gonzalez wrote:

Dear Colleagues, I am starting a literature review on social presence (esp. in relation to new communication technologies, such as cell phones, text messaging, chat programs, etc.). Hence, I am trying to find good academic texts that present the history of research on this topic, current trends, and suggestions for future research. Does anyone know some good texts with which I can start? Please feel free to contact me if you have any interesting suggestions. Thank you, jennie | jennie hwang, phd assistant professor, communication studies cal poly, san luis obispo 805/756-2289 |

I recommend taking a look at the website of the International Society for Presence Research. In particular, I recommend following the bibliography link on the first page. The page it leads to links to an online article that presents a full bibliography up to 2007. For a good though now dated overview of the literature, see Lombard and Ditton's "At the Heart of It All: The Concept of Presence" available at this site: <http://jcmc.indiana.edu/vol3/issue2/lombard.html>. You should also ask this question on the presence list. Here's its address: <http://listserv.temple.edu/archives/presence-l.html>. Also, there appears to be a lot of information here: <http://www.presence-research.org/

Dear Jennie I'm putting together, along with another Aoir memeber a reference list on (broadly) web anthropology/sociology, that will be soon available on an open google document, through this same mailing list. The idea is that anyone can view it and edit it so to add new references as they comme up. We've found out that its such a quickly changing field, that its impossible to keep up-to-date on its own. Stay put, it will come out soon, we're still defining some technical aspects. Hopefully yoiu could contribute with your own references.

Alex - Your experience on Wikipedia was unfortunate, but you should be aware of some of its policies & guidelines regarding creating articles about people, especially oneself: * General notability guideline for biographies: <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:BIO
* Guideline strongly discouraging writing an article about oneself: <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:AUTO
A good place to start is <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:YFA> Also, I'm not sure who you encountered while editing, but describing Wikipedia editors or administrators as "wiki police" isn't quite fair. By its very definition, (nearly) all Wikipedia users are welcome and able to monitor and edit articles, tag them if there are concerns, etc. Administrators (who are selected by the community itself) have extra privileges allowing the deleting of articles and blocking users, under strict guidelines. The help pages provide good guidance, if you want to explore further: <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Contents
I'm sure Wikipedia could benefit from your participation in the project.

Jennie, A couple of good general discussions are: Marshall, Jonathan. "The Online Body Breaks Out? Asence, Ghosts, Cyborgs, Gender, Polarity and Politics." Fibreculture Issue 3, 2004. http://journal.fibreculture.org/issue3/issue3_marshall.html Zhao, Shanyang & Elesh, D. "Copresence as 'Being With': Social Contact in Online Public Domains." Information, Communication & Society, V. 11, No. 4 June 2008, pp 565-583. These aren't focused on particular technologies so much, but more generally on the emotional challenges of online sociality. Also, this book came out last year and is quite good, has another piece by Marshall in it: Remote Relationships in a Small World Holland, Samantha (ed.) New York: Peter Lang (2008) How do people have relationships when they are apart, or develop them when they've never even met? From MySpace and weblogs to romance and sexuality, this book draws together a range of studies on <remote relationships>, investigating the intricate, intimate ways that people forge connections online. The term 'remote' refers to the technologies that facilitate forms of communication, and also underlines the lack of physicality involved in these relationships, developed at a distance. Using empirical data, these collected essays explore a wide variety of relationships, examining the methodological and ethical issues that researchers face. Remote Relationships in a Small World, part of a new generation of online studies, responds to the need for research that focuses on social relationships.

Dear Colleagues,
I am starting a literature review on social presence (esp. in relation to new communication technologies, such as cell phones, text messaging, chat programs, etc.). Hence, I am trying to find good academic texts that present the history of research on this topic, current trends, and suggestions for future research. Does anyone know some good texts with which I can start?
Please feel free to contact me if you have any interesting suggestions.
Thank you, jennie
