The quiz questions are all based on this semester’s lectures. Some of the answers are in the lecture notes available online. Some are to be found in the recommended readings, and some by doing a small amount of research into some of the ideas/concepts/terms raised.
Thanks to a collective course effort, we also have a pretty good resource at our delicious page.
Notes/slides from all the lectures are now on this site. Go for it.

Lecture 3: Carving up the world
Have a good look at the lecture, make sure you understand (and can explain) the main terms raised. How is the organisation and classification of online content changing?

Make sure you really understand the ‘wisdom of crowds’ concept.
Lecture 6: HTML and CSS
Just make sure you understand what HTML and CSS actually do.
