“…Are digital skills an outcome in themselves or purely a means to an end, a process by which to gain other skills or qualities and ultimately, long-term improvements in wellbeing? (Wilson & Grant, 2017, p. 57) To analyse and evaluate the digital skills essential in the 21st century, scholars propose theoretical frameworks examining media and information literacy (Wilson, 2012), basic digital skills (Van Deursen, Helsper, & Eynon, 2014), digital competency (Lang, Shang, & Vragov, 2009), digital literacy (Reynolds, 2016), and digital citizenship (Collier, 2016).…”

Digital youth work is an emerging field of research and practice which seeks to investigate and support youth-centred digital literacy initiatives. Whilst digital youth work projects have become prominent in Europe in recent years, it has also become increasingly difficult to examine, capture, and understand their social impact. Currently, there is limited understanding of and research on how to measure the social impact of collaborative digital literacy youth projects. This article presents empirical research which explores the ways digital youth workers perceive and evaluate the social impact of their work. Twenty semi-structured interviews were carried out in Scotland, United Kingdom, in 2017. All data were coded in NVivo 10 and analysed using thematic data analysis (Braun & Clarke, 2006). Two problems were identified in this study: (1) limited critical engagement with the social impact evaluation process of digital youth work projects and its outcomes, and (2) lack of consistent definition of the evaluation process to measure the social impact/value of digital youth work. Results of the study are examined within a wider scholarly discourse on the evaluation of youth digital participation, digital literacy, and social impact. It is argued that to progressively work towards a deeper understanding of the social value (positive and negative) of digital youth engagement and their digital literacy needs, further research and youth worker evaluation training are required. Recommendations towards these future changes in practice are also addressed.

“…In contrast to the top–down approach to product conventionalization, transmutation occurs when consumers actively work to change the content and the intrinsic value of a product, or a combination of products, into something different (Hughes 2010; Hughes and Lang 2006; Lang, Shang, and Vragov 2009). The concept of transmutation is found at the intersection of systems science, computer science, business, economics, information science and cultural studies.…”

A Cautionary Tale of Purity, Labeling and Product Literacy in the Gluten‐Free Market

Like the market for organics, the gluten-free products market is expanding rapidly. Rapid expansion in the organic foods market led to changes in the regulatory structure, which in turn, made possible the transition of organics from something considered exclusive and value-laden, to something that is conventional and void of many of the original substantive characteristics. Moreover, this process of conventionalization has contributed to a decline in product literacy. Despite a standardized label, consumers generally know less about the products' attributes once conventionalization has occurred. Using the case of organics, we show how the current governance structure for gluten might also be in the process of conventionalization. Yet, this trajectory is not inevitable. Transmutation of the market, which is accomplished via critical analysis and consumers' active engagement in defining "gluten-free," may provide an antidote to product dilution and may improve product literacy for those who need or desire gluten-free products most.

“…The real effort task chosen is a sort of Scrabble game. The idea of using creation of words to mimic innovative activity in investigating FOSS has been pioneered by Lang et al [7], who design a double-auction market for words, inducing demand but leaving players free to make supply decisions. The design here presented differs greatly from theirs, their interest being in market design, while the main focus here is on sequential innovations.…”

To Patent or Not to Patent: A Pilot Experiment on Incentives to Copyright in a Sequential Innovation Setting

This paper presents preliminary results from a pilot experiment dealing with the economic motivations to contribute to Free/Open Source Software (FOSS). Bessen and Maskin [1] argue that in a dynamic sequential innovation framework the standard argument for granting patent protection is no more valid and the innovator has at certain conditions an incentive to fully disclose the results of his works; in these same conditions, a copyright strategy could result in a tragedy of the anticommons [5, 2]. We study in the lab the choice of copyrighting or copylefting subsequent innovations in a dynamic settingà la Bessen and Maskin, introducing an innovative experimental design requiring real effort on the part of subjects. The players are asked to actually 'innovate' producing words from given letters, and face the choice to copyright or copyleft their words. Preliminary results show that copyleft is more likely to emerge when royalty fees are relatively high, and when the extendability, modularity and manipulability of inventions is enhanced.
