The User as Prisoner: How the Dilemma Might Dissolve
نویسنده
چکیده
Content objects are essential links between Knowledge Management and E-Learning systems. Therefore content authoring and sharing is an important, interdisciplinary topic in the resp. fields. In this paper, we want to critically elaborate on the “user as producer and consumer”-concept for content production and consumption. We address the subject by using the notion of content collaboration as example for the “Prisoner’s Dilemma”, in which the sensible way out (from a macroperspective) is sensibly not pursued by an individual (from a microperspective). We will use this micro-perspective of a user as prisoner to analyze what the recently very successful Social Tagging processes can teach us about the user taking action as a producer and/or consumer.

متن کاملSocial Perspective of Software Development Methods: The Case of the Prisoner Dilemma and Extreme Programming
One of the main dilemmas with which software development teams face is how to choose a software development method that suits the team as well as the organization. This article suggests a theory that may help in this process. Specifically, Extreme Programming (XP) is analyzed within the well known framework of the prisoner dilemma. We suggest that such an analysis may explain in what situations...
