My Exam Questions


OBJECTIVE QUESTIONS

1. According to @ Is for Activism by Joss Hands, "it is very difficult for one person or people to dominate or dictate what happens on the network" (p78) because:
A. International agreements forbid governments from censoring the web.
B. Information sent online bounces between routers instead of traveling in a direct line, making it nearly     impossible to intercept and censor.
C. There are so many voices present online that the rule of the majority nearly always triumphs.
D. Almost anyone can connect to the Internet because it is not expensive to purchase a router.

See Ellis Dyck’s review of the book at http://dyckellis326.blogspot.com/2012/09/preliminary-review-of-is-for-activism.html 

2. According to Jessica Lee’s post “Copyright and the Open Movement” at http://leesjessica326.blogspot.com/2012/11/copyright-and-open-movement.html, the purpose of Creative Commons licensing is to
A. allow, through contracts, increased access to and use of artistic and scientific works.
B. to remove obstacles to creative activity.
C. help small artists make a profit from their work
D. both A and B

3. A new service Ellis Dyck made use of in this class is Prezi. According to http://prezi.com/about/, an advantage of using Prezi for a presentation is that
A. It uses gamification to keep viewers interested.
B. it’s more flexible because you can zoom in on smaller pictures instead of being limited to include only large photos in a slideshow.
C. Prezis are more memorable to audiences because they engage spatial memory.
D. Prezi’s superior graphics capabilities keep your audience from getting bored.

ESSAY QUESTIONS

1. Badges have the potential to help earners gain job opportunities because employers will be able to see evidence of their experiences and granular knowledge. See my post at http://dyckellis326.blogspot.com/2012/09/open-badges-future-of-learning.html

2. Although meme culture makes more people “creators” because anyone can create variations on a meme, memes actually inhibit significant creativity because most people recycle the same photos over and over and don’t think outside the box of a meme.
