Week 7: Building Community — Social Networking

Welcome to social networking week! Here’s this week’s slideshow (22:44) and I’ve included all links visited during the slideshow below the embed. Once again, don’t mind the audio cutting in abruptly at the beginning of the video (working on it!).

We have another group project coming our way this week, courtesy of Emily, Katie, Peggy, Stephanie, and Alain. I’ll post a link to it when it’s up on Friday.

And one last reminder: please fill in the FIMS Student Council midterm survey if you haven’t already!

Have a great week, everyone.

Week 6: Collective Intelligence — Folksonomies

Welcome back! Hope everyone had a great long weekend. This week we’re on to folksonomies and here’s your short slideshow for the week (10:39). I’ve posted the links/references from the video below the embed. I had a spot of trouble with audio right at the beginning of the slideshow — you will hear a slight skip in the audio, but it only accounts for about 1.8 seconds and doesn’t actually miss much!

I’ve added a couple of reminders to this week’s content page, so don’t forget to have a read through.
