 A) Look at __ Shifting of Content Production to Users (SCPU) __and SCPU Wiki A In your own words write below "what is this topic about?" - Give some examples and links where possible. ................................................................................... This topic is about 'Shifting Content Production to Users' (SCPU). Shifting Content Production to Users means that users on certain websites like Wikipedia, MySpace, YouTube etc. can put their own content like videos, photos, opinions and many other things into these sites and share them with the world. Some content is able to be edited by the person who is looking at the users content but in most cases, its protected. But some sites, like [|Wikipedia] for example, can be edited by anyone. This can be bad in some cases because inaccurate information can be sent out. Sites like the ones listed above are becoming more popular which means people are sharing more content all the time. Different levels of schools are using different types on content too. For each level in school, a different sort of content is being produced. For the younger level in schools (Kinder/Primary) their content used to be poetry, test preparation and artwork, which wasnt really enough. But now, younger students are using computers/internet to do their school work and sharing that. High School students used to just get their information from the content sites but lately, they have been becoming the creators of this content. Blogs are also starting to become more poplar with the High School student crowd. These forms of content help because the students can contact their teachers and even students on the other side of the world. College students form of content is the program [|Second Life]. Colleges can create their own islands and communicate with eachother (teachers, students and students from another country).
