	Abby, I like your project, and will pay attention to your research, as I am planning to open an educational site, and have concerns about the issues you list. I also wonder why it would be OK for Google images and not OK for Pinterest, so I think you picked a relevant and useful topic. You organized your thoughts well in your prospectus. Suggestion: Find out if there has been any attempt yet to sue Pinterest and what the outcome was. How have they handled related complaints, if any, and what were the complaints? Another question: Is there a clear legal definition of “transformative” and “potentially transformative”. I would think that anything is “potentially” transformative, so I am wondering if that has a more specific meaning in legal jargon. Good job![[User:Mike\|Mike]] 11:56, 13 March 2012 (UTC)		Abby, I like your project, and will pay attention to your research, as I am planning to open an educational site, and have concerns about the issues you list.

	Hi Alexix! Your prospectus intrigues me. I am not familiar with Pinterest, but from the information you provided, it seems as though it is an incredible tool. I'm curious to know in which direction you plan on taking this prospectus. You mentioned that women make up 80% of Pinterest users, however you also noted that women are a very small minority of contributors to other sites. Are you going to be exploring this unequal dichotomy more, or is your topic going to be based upon the use of Pinterest and its incorporation to other sites? If you do focus on the dichotomy of inequality, will you also be exploring or analyzing the computer usage habit of men and women, including their amount of time online, in relation to the activities they participate while online? I as because if I assume that the average time online for both men and women is equal, or near equal, then the discrepancy of unequal interaction would have to be qualified. But if your focus is on the use of Pinterest and its integration into other forms of online communication, I'm afraid that my lack of knowledge of Pinterest can't help you. Nonetheless, I hope the research goes well, and I look forward to reading your final report.[[User:Nthib\|Nthib]] 23:09, 13 March 2012 (UTC)		Hi Alexix! Your prospectus intrigues me.

	Interesting idea. I think that online education is definitely the way of the future. And it is only just beginning. Although, I think that part of the reason people go to a University is to receive a diploma of some kind, or brain branding. So, how do these free Universities differ? It's a nice idea, and could be done ... but is that what is really going on here, or are these corporate educational sites aimed at providing streamlined content that is focused from a particular angle? I think so. Although, what is also interesting is to ask how these universities will serve the world. Are they serving a communist angle? Education is free in communist countries btw. So it is interesting that these are corporate packaged. The library is great, but this is also an interesting concept. For those who are capable, I believe that they should be able to achieve. And a free online education would be just that. Although, branding is essential in most regions. So how will these sites be tailored to serve what society? And what will motivate kids to go to these kinds of institutions? I think MTV might have a problem making it cool to unmotivated youth.

	Hi Sab, I like your topic a lot because my project has to do also with distance education online. I’m working on the Open University case. It seems that you have a specific question that is related to the emergence of high-quality student-centric education system as a true public good, and I would say your question is good narrowed, but would be better if you work in just one of the cases of the four you mentioned—Sal Khan’s project, MITx, Harvard, and the London School of Economics. I’d like to know more about Khan’s project since we already know how the online paid degrees are in Harvard. Very interesting, good luck![[User:Fabiancelisj\|Fabiancelisj]] 00:03, 6 March 2012 (UTC)		Hi Sab, I like your topic a lot because my project has to do also with distance education online.

	ACTA and the protests – a reaction to the governmental control extending into the cyber world[http://cyber.law.harvard.edu/is2012/sites/is2012/images/Hsiao_assignment2.pdf]<br>		ACTA and the protests – a reaction to the governmental control extending into the cyber world[http://cyber.law.harvard.edu/is2012/sites/is2012/images/Hsiao_assignment2.pdf]<br>

			Interesting idea. I am wondering if you should narrow your investiagtion to one particular example. And perhaps question how ACTA relates to democracy. Are we losing democracy? Are social norms being controlled by government and corporations to the point that citizens are no longer living in democratic societies? This may be one way to relate your assignment.

	My greatest worry for this assignment is that it could easily become more a report on current events than an empirical study. There are a lot of observations to be made here, and although those observations are in part empirical it would be much easier to talk about the the material in a purely social context. Additionally the scope of your project could benefit from focus. Any single element of the hacktivist movement could serve as a worthy focal point for this project. All of these elements could benefit from further exploration. Good luck.		My greatest worry for this assignment is that it could easily become more a report on current events than an empirical study.

	Hi Sabrina, I find your topic very interesting! I am curious to find out how the lack of interaction between students and teachers affect the quality of online versus offline education, and how you are going to measure it? Or if you are interested in exploring how the lack of students and teachers interaction affect the quality of education, I suggest comparing a community with interaction to one without. Best, Quynh. [[User:Qdang\|Qdang]] 22:48, 4 March 2012 (UTC) Hello, Thanks for your comments. Intercations can be measured when you have forumn, lie lectures or section, wiki. Success is measurable by the rate of drop out, the rate of success, ect. Thanks again for helping me to be more precised. --[[User:Sab\|Sab]] 12:23, 5 March 2012 (UTC)		Hi Sabrina, I find your topic very interesting!

	Hi Sab. You picked a wonderful topic. I completed most of my undergraduate degree through distance education, and had experienced DL at various institutions and levels. I am glad to see someone is interested in the rich opportunities DL offers.		Hi Sab. You picked a wonderful topic.

	Stefan, this subject is quite fascinating! It’s the first time I’ve heard of it, which maybe shows how out of the loop I am, but I see the potential for making a system that does not depend on those who already control the existing monetary system. For that very reason, I suggest that it might be interesting to hypothesize what their (the status quo’s) reaction might be, and what measures they might use to control or stamp out something like bitcoin. What could bitcoin users do to defend their rights? What impact might this have on international economics and law eventually? Would governments welcome it or fight it? Which kinds of governments? All of them? I think the ensuing battle might be similar to the recording industry giants and the movement to open channels for the independent producers.[[User:Mike\|Mike]] 09:25, 12 March 2012 (UTC)		Stefan, this subject is quite fascinating!

			Interesting idea. I'm wondering about the potential for change this type of thins might have on global markets. I think of Kramer on CNN a few year ago before the market crash. So I'm wondering if these social hubs stem out of a need for this type of thing. Or are these communities set up to make money themselves?

	Hi ~~Gregorian~~. ~~I like the topic you picked. To~~ me, ~~the question is how internet communities affect social psychology. It is valuable and relevant~~. ~~You explain~~ that ~~game communities~~ and ~~the small talk which accompanies~~, ~~help~~ to ~~promote trust~~. ~~Apparently so~~, and ~~I agree~~. I ~~think the communication~~, ~~however it happens~~, ~~builds up the trust~~. I suggest you look for ~~more cases~~ of ~~the same~~, and ~~also~~ some ~~cases where~~ that ~~doesn’t work out~~. ~~Then~~, ~~compare to see~~ if ~~you can detect possible reasons~~ for ~~that difference~~. ~~Of course~~, ~~different people are different~~, ~~and you cannot control that, but it seems that some environments do bring out the best in people~~. ~~What internet environment can help to do~~ that~~? Are there internet environments which bring out the bad in people? It~~ would ~~then be~~ good ~~to ask why~~ and ~~how to both of those scenarios~~. ~~Oh well~~, ~~some suggestions~~. Good ~~choice~~.[[User:Mike\|Mike]] 19:40, 14 March 2012 (UTC)		Hi Carl. The Academy is interesting to me and my children have used it, as they have done home schooling. I do think that the format of the classes gives room for innovation because you can repeat them over and over, as compared to the traditional classroom. As far as if these classes can be used for needy students, I think it could be for some, but some very behind students would need a teacher right there with them to really walk them through the learning, and that is hard to do from a distance, because the teacher cannot see when the student is stuck or struggling from a distance. Well, I say that as a teacher who has worked with needy children at times, but for you to demonstrate that in your project, you need evidence. I suggest you look for reports on the effectiveness of Kahn’s classes, both when given to normally intelligent students and when given to remedial students. Those statistics might exist. I have taken his classes and found them clear, but some remedial students might not. Someone acting as a facilitator or “assistant teacher” might fill the need for that, and so, the recorded class is still useful.
			As far as Kahn’s review from peers, I wonder if really no one else critique’s his work for him. I would think he has asked for input from others, as probably has received much feed back, solicited or not. You could probably find some of that. I would qualify him as a good teacher with clear delivery, and effective. Anyway, you questions are clear and analytical, so I think your study will be effective.

	Hi Carl - interesting topic! well done. I'm looking forward to reading what those who focus on Khan Academy come up with. I agree with others that it may be good to analyze the represented countries and pinpoint the under or unrepresented ones. Good luck!

			Hi Gregorian. I like the topic you picked. To me, the question is how internet communities affect social psychology. It is valuable and relevant. You explain that game communities and the small talk which accompanies, help to promote trust. Apparently so, and I agree. I think the communication, however it happens, builds up the trust. I suggest you look for more cases of the same, and also some cases where that doesn’t work out. Then, compare to see if you can detect possible reasons for that difference. Of course, different people are different, and you cannot control that, but it seems that some environments do bring out the best in people. What internet environment can help to do that? Are there internet environments which bring out the bad in people? It would then be good to ask why and how to both of those scenarios. Oh well, some suggestions. Good choice.[[User:Mike\|Mike]] 19:40, 14 March 2012 (UTC)

	Abby, I like your project, and will pay attention to your research, as I am planning to open an educational site, and have concerns about the issues you list. I also wonder why it would be OK for Google images and not OK for Pinterest, so I think you picked a relevant and useful topic. You organized your thoughts well in your prospectus. Suggestion: Find out if there has been any attempt yet to sue Pinterest and what the outcome was. How have they handled related complaints, if any, and what were the complaints? Another question: Is there a clear legal definition of “transformative” and “potentially transformative”. I would think that anything is “potentially” transformative, so I am wondering if that has a more specific meaning in legal jargon. Good job![[User:Mike\|Mike]] 11:56, 13 March 2012 (UTC)		Abby, I like your project, and will pay attention to your research, as I am planning to open an educational site, and have concerns about the issues you list.

			Hi Abby, in addition to my comments earlier, I just saw this article on Businessinsider.com you may find interesting http://articles.businessinsider.com/2012-02-28/tech/31106641_1_repinning-copyright-entire-image. Good luck! [[[User:MSS\|MSS]] 21:28, 19 March 2012 (UTC)]

	Hi Alexix! Your prospectus intrigues me. I am not familiar with Pinterest, but from the information you provided, it seems as though it is an incredible tool. I'm curious to know in which direction you plan on taking this prospectus. You mentioned that women make up 80% of Pinterest users, however you also noted that women are a very small minority of contributors to other sites. Are you going to be exploring this unequal dichotomy more, or is your topic going to be based upon the use of Pinterest and its incorporation to other sites? If you do focus on the dichotomy of inequality, will you also be exploring or analyzing the computer usage habit of men and women, including their amount of time online, in relation to the activities they participate while online? I as because if I assume that the average time online for both men and women is equal, or near equal, then the discrepancy of unequal interaction would have to be qualified. But if your focus is on the use of Pinterest and its integration into other forms of online communication, I'm afraid that my lack of knowledge of Pinterest can't help you. Nonetheless, I hope the research goes well, and I look forward to reading your final report.[[User:Nthib\|Nthib]] 23:09, 13 March 2012 (UTC)		Hi Alexix! Your prospectus intrigues me.
