Henry Jenkins, Digital Learning

Henry Jenkins, Director of the Comparative Media Studies Program at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, explores new frameworks and models for media literacy. Sehr gutes Paper, hier ein kurzer Auszug:

A participatory culture is a culture with relatively low barriers to artistic expression and civic engagement,strong support for creating and sharing one’s creations,and some type of informal mentorship whereby what is known by the most experienced is passed along to novices.A participatory culture is also one in which members believe their contributions matter,and feel some degree of social connection with one another (at the least they care what other people think about what they have created).Forms of participatory culture include

Affiliations— memberships,formal and informal,in online communities centered around various forms of media,such as Friendster,Facebook,message boards, metagaming,game clans,or MySpace).

Expressions— producing new creative forms,such as digital sampling,skinning and modding,fan videomaking,fan fiction writing,zines,mash-ups).

Collaborative Problem-solving— working together in teams,formal and informal, to complete tasks and develop new knowledge (such as through Wikipedia,alternative reality gaming,spoiling).

Circulations — Shaping the flow of media (such as podcasting,blogging).
