We started the term with:

“ What has Wikipedia got to do with the 49 percent of the population of Congo that lacks sustainable access to improve water resources?”
Yochai Benkler (2006) The Wealth of Network
http://cyber.law.harvard.edu/wealth_of_networks/Chapter_9,_section_2 

We like to end the term by looking at this new initiative and ask about the connections of the two and what this may mean for "development":

More questions:

What is knowledge, 學問? 

As students of development, what key conceptual tools and skills did you draw from the course?

As the course approaches the end,  do you consider yourself an active learner?

Did the course bring perspectives on development that you have not considered before?
