Upon reading this article, many points were brought to light that I could agree with more, and many of the terms were broken down into layman's terms which helped immensely. In "Building Collaborative Capacities in Learners" the authors broke down the elements of produsage into four characteristics of it being community-based, it having fluid roles in learning, it having unfinished products, and how it's products are common property, are points that really stood out to me. For design, these elements also make it a whole different animal to address as well. I like how it mentioned how the designer takes on different roles throughout the project and how the product continually evolves in attempting to meet the needs of the community one is addressing.
The definition of produsage in this article also made it very clear to understand, contending that all participants are users and producers of information and knowledge in a Web 2.0 world, where in the good old days everyone was one or the other.
