Talk:User-Generated Content in Education/Image Content

Very nicely done. The layout of your wikibook is nice, clear and easy to read. I like the examples that you provided throughout the page. (C Lloyd)

Thanks, C. It's still not quite done, I have a few finishing touches to do. I just figured out how to do the references last night, so I will add the rest of them soon.

picture
I am not sure how everyone is modifying their picture and putting infromation in the box - I had mucho trouble with this wiki but I'm still learning. I have added several of the sites that you used that I am not familiar with so thank you! SLSleclerc (discuss • contribs) 19:01, 18 October 2011 (UTC)

Check out the Images and Wikipedia section in the Image Content page -- it should help you get started.

Once you have placed the code for the image in a wiki page, you can add the words for the caption.

User generated content tools
Some websites suggest various user generated content tools. What is the percentage of mistakes, if the tools are used? Could it be a simple word counter? I know that some UGC webpages include the Hemingway app essay-grader and other tools per se. Briansagess (discuss • contribs) 10:45, 25 July 2018 (UTC)

Pretty much done, for now
I did add what I had planned to add and made sure the references were there. Hey, it's a wiki page so I might come back and change things later, or maybe someone else will!--Rcamuse (discuss • contribs) 15:36, 19 October 2011 (UTC)

Ruth, did you add Everystockphoto.com? That's a pretty strong collection of images that incorporates CC images from Flikr, Morguefile, Xchange, and others.

In terms of writing style, think of an encyclopedia article. Some of your narrative may be too informal, for example using "you" as though you are talking to the reader. Sgarrigan (discuss • contribs) 04:06, 21 October 2011 (UTC)

S.G., I did include everystockphoto.com in the Creative Commons section of the page. Actually that site could be listed under public domain, commercial, and provider supplied licenses too, because it searches through all of them. It's really a great site.

When I chose the style for this page, I was thinking of it more as a lesson than an encyclopedic entry. I'll come back to this later and see what I can do to make it a bit more formal. There's a book that was featured today in Wikibooks that uses informal language, including "you" -- []. I can see, though, it might be good to be consistent in the level of formality, matching language used in other pages in the Wikibook, in this case, User-Generated Content in Education. --Rcamuse (discuss • contribs) 22:13, 21 October 2011 (UTC)
