Paper Abstract:
|
This study examines how college students conceptualize the relationship between different types of networked knowledge
activities. The purpose was to determine where there is greater or lessons conceptual consensus among students, which can
serve as an indicator of areas where networked knowledge skills may be weak or underused. Using an interview with an
embedded card sort activity, 63 college students shared how they would organize different social media actions given larger
activity categories (network, collect, curate, share, broker, negotiate, and create). Findings showed greatest consensus under
the network and collect categories, especially when familiar actions were represented. Less familiar actions, like different
ways of tagging resources and sharing tags, were not highly associated with any particular networked knowledge activity.
These findings have implications for teaching digital literacy skills at the college level. |
