Participatory media literacy

I was alerted by Dr Joolz' blog to the Participatory media literacy site, which (insofar as it has a Syllabus page) seems to be based aound a course. Anyway it's a wiki-type thing with a lot of useful links to good sites & resources to do with wikis, blogs etc, plus some explanatory text. It's also obviously interesting in outlining another literacy, namely participatory media literacy, meaning (I think) ability to use web-based social & communication tools (like blogs) in order to create, communicate and "participate", as well as using them to get information. Howard Rheingold appears to be lead person. The site is at https://www.eu.socialtext.net/medialiteracy/index.cgi
