Produsing, say what?

Fridays lecture topic was focused on ‘Produsing’ resources for coaching and teaching
Yes I mean ‘produsing’ not producing.   

When you search ‘produsing’ on the internet for a definition, it doesn’t exist, the internet seems to be incapable of understanding ‘produsing’ instead if offers other suggestions like producing or using, so just from a quick search it is evident that this is a new innovated concept, that I too know nothing about.

Keith providing a definition during the lecture and it explained the definition of ‘produsing’. In collaborative communities the creation of shared content takes place in a networked, participatory environment which breaks down the boundaries between producers and consumers and instead enables all participants to be users as well as producers of information and knowledge.
Once you create a resource it can be changed in a variety of ways. We explored this on you tube.  I found a video which I really enjoyed and it highlights the idea of ‘produsing’ very well.


If you haven’t seen it, this is the ad they are ‘produsing’


Social media has become a big part of ‘produsing’ and looking at Twitter buying the blog site Posterous which shows social media and the blog platform has become an attractive in a business models

However, caution must be taken to ‘produse’ responsibility, as ‘produsers’ we must be explicit as to where it came from and where we find our resources.

Thank you for reading this blog and stay posted
