Digital literacy and the death of communityJohn Carter McKnight
油
This document discusses the implications of digital literacy on community. It argues that digital literacy and networks empower the individual over community by allowing people to selectively choose their online connections and create echo chambers. This undermines real-world communities as well as civic associations that were important for building democratic participation. While digital tools provide new opportunities for creativity, their design and control by corporations and data miners concentrates power in ways that can discourage collaboration and civic participation. As educators, developing digital literacy should include helping students understand these political implications and cultivate skills for "playing well with others."A failure of convivencia
A failure of convivenciaJohn Carter McKnight

The merger between two online communities, the Confederation of Democratic Simulators (CDS) and the Virtual Democracy of Al Andalus, ended after six months due to growing conflict and disagreement. Cultural clashes over definitions of democracy and participation escalated tensions between the communities. Ultimately, the governing board of Al Andalus voted unanimously to terminate the merger due to failure to integrate governance structures and ongoing hostility between community factions. The breakdown suggests challenges in merging disparate online groups.Legal anthropologist of gor!

Chaulukya or Solanki was one of the Rajputs born from Agnikul. In the Vadnagar inscription, the origin of this dynasty is told from Brahma's Chauluk or Kamandalu. They ruled in Gujarat from the latter half of the tenth century to the beginning of the thirteenth century. Their capital was in Anahilwad. It is not certain whether it had any relation with the Chalukya dynasty of the south or not. It is worth mentioning that the name of the dynasty of the south was 'Chaluky' while the dynasty of Gujarat has been called 'Chaulukya'. The rulers of this dynasty were the supporters and patrons of Jainism.Communicable Diseases and National Health Programs Unit 9 | B.Sc Nursing 5t...
