Participation and user-generated content
What Participation and user-generated content means in Media Studies A-Level, as defined for AQA.
Definition of Participation and user-generated content
Check what you remember
Read the wording for your board, then hide it and explain Participation and user-generated content in your own words. Rough notes are fine. This is a self-check, with no mark or grade.
Reference: AQA
Users comment, share, remix, tag and upload, so the boundary between producer and audience blurs.
