[Air-L] Examples of digital citizenship and (media)literacy guides and projects

[Shulman, Stu]

Some examples from our Service-Learning work on Digital Citizenship
initiated in 2002. Back then, it was about the digital divide, barriers to
access, digital literacy, and anything else that might arise when seniors
and students teamed up to promote the idea of getting people online
to enhance citizenship.

There are a number of articles and chapters about "eRulemaking" as well
that can all be understood as studies of digital citizenship:

The platform DiscoverText.com (free for academic researchers) was built
specifically to process hundreds of thousands or even in some cases
millions of public comments on proposed regulations by U.S.
federal government agencies. Over the lifespan of the platform, more than
10 million public comments about a variety of endangered species listings
have been an important though at times controversial wellspring of digital
citizenship where technology was required to find the substantive input
potentially lost in a comment deluge.
