Knowledge, Learning, Community

This article summarizes a paper responding to the suggestion that people search differently when they're in less privileged contexts and argues, with data, that they actually do use a common method that "can be summarized into four interrelated phases: (a) locating information, (b) information use, (c) remix & repurpose and, (d) knowledge sharing." Where there is a difference is in the degree of copy-paste, or plagiarism. Alaa Aldahdouh raises the question of meta-search behaviours. "From this perspective, one does not need to teach learners digital competences (which are renewable); one needs to change their representations about the Internet." (Note: I was able to access the full paper last week, but when I went back today the Elsevier site threw up a paywall - very frustrating).
