CMIT 369 Week 3
Discussions Pt 1
Read the article
“Adult Education and the Social Media Revolution,” available in the eReserves
section of the classroom. Pay particular attention to the references these
authors make to the works of others. Every citation within this article is
essentially a head nod to other authors who have written about the same or
similar topics. Were they all in the same room, you could imagine the authors
of this article pointing to or calling out those other authors while speaking.
This is what we mean when we refer to research and writing as one big
conversation, with all of the participants listening and responding to one
another.
In a discussion post,
point to an example from this article and explain how the authors do one of the
following:
• refer to another work in order to
give legitimacy to their own point;
• refer to another work in order to
build upon the ideas of others; or
• refer to another work in order to
challenge that work.
If you select
“refer to another work in order to give legitimacy to their own
point,” first describe what the authors’ point is, then describe how the
cited article supports that point.
If you select
“refer to another work in order to build upon the ideas of others,”
first describe what the ideas are, then describe how the authors build upon
those ideas.
If you select
“refer to another work in order to challenge that work”, first
describe what is being challenged, then describe how the authors are
challenging the cited work.
Then, give an example
from your own life in which you rely upon the work of others to complete a task
or accomplish a goal. (This example might be from your workplace, community, or
academic life.)
