Study Notes
Media and Information Literacy
- Opportunities, Challenges, and Power of Media and Information (Part 1 and 2)
- Classification of social media into three dimensions: social presence, media richness, and self-presentation/self-disclosure

Social bookmarking applications enable group-based collection and rating of Internet links or media content.
