Algorithmic culture
Requirements
There are two tasks for this assignment.
For the first task, you are required to focus on one concept, for example reflexive control and mediated construction of reality, and expand on it considerably. You should cover areas such as what is the core concept being explored, how does the author approach the framework, how can it be related to your own work during the semester, and how might it contribute to and develop on the theory being discussed. This writing task is also an opportunity to reflect on your personal learning during the semester and to expand on what has been useful in the class. You might like to discuss what was the most interesting aspect of the course, how will you use it in the future, and how might these concepts radically shift in the coming six months. You should include hypertextual links in the copy, and any other forms of media that enhance your blog post.
You will also comment on one other students blog post. This is an opportunity to engage your community manager proficiency and encourage engaging and thought-provoking discussion on a topic provided by another author. In your comment you will demonstrate how to promote positive conversation, how to engage with the author and how to entice other users to engage in the conversation.
