Week 10 - Extended Realities Technologies as part of Produsage (Part 2)

I thought I should really try to delve into and draft out my produsage assignment a bit more so that I can get a head start before the submission next sunday. I got 4 different assignments to submit by the same deadline, so things are likely to get pretty crazy - doesn't help that I have one more assignment to submit four days after! Haaahhahah! This blog will probably go dark next week - will cash in all my remaining tokens to clear out all the work.

Part 1 of 2 - What should an effective Produsage Community look like?

For the first part of today's series of posts, I'd like to introduce to you a book that I've read written by Daniel Coyle (2018) called "The culture code". This week, we've been mostly reading about web 2.0 technologies that facilitate a user-centric environment where users are both the producers of knowledge and users of it (produsers). I however, have been attracted to the notion of community. For produsage to work, it is essential that a community in which collaboration and not self-aggrandizement is cultivated. This lead me to the culture code's examination of key facets of successful groups. In one of the studies listed in the book, it noted that in a simple experiment where groups of business students and kindergartners (all groups were homogenous) were told to build the highest tower with twenty pieces of uncooked spaghetti, one yard of transparent tape, one yard of string and one standard-size marshmallow (to be put on top of the obelisk),...

Financial Management 101 Knowledge Base.

Hey guys! This page just serves to be a compilation of websites and articles that I have found to be useful over the last few months for leveling up my understanding of personal financial management. I did up a concept map as appended below to help organize what I think is one way to approach learning about the subject. Do note that the portioning of income has many schools of thought. So without further ado, a list of the websites, organized according to that framework. LEARNING HOW TO INCREASE ASSETS Learn what is an financial asset.

End of Week 3 Reflection

I guess I am beginning to get the hang of blogging, or rather writing a blog. There is a kind of cathartic effect I suppose - being able to just vomit your thoughts onto the web without (relatively) a care in the world. I've been thinking of designing a personal blog along that goes deep into the issues of the books I read. I've been quite consistent in my reading habit since April and I'm really happy at the progress I've made. It's week 21 and I've read 25 books in total. But I am worried that I am not maximizing my learning. There is a saying among practitioners of Kaizen and among ultralearning communities - "Knowledge is the art of knowing. Wisdom is the art of doing." Ultralearning practitioners would say "Theory and practice are equal, in theory. In practice, this is not so" - or something like that. While I can't always practice what I read, I worry that just reading alone does nothing to ensure retention of that knowledge in m...
