Jared Stein gave a good presention on Wikis
Practical, we all set up a wiki (I haven't posted anythign there yet but you can find it at http://edpsycology.wikispaces.com)
Principles he shared were:
helps with engagement of students in creation and maintenance of dynamic course materials.
perpetual beta a term associated with web 2.0, services out there but constantly changing and evolving...example wikibooks.org and wikieducator.org
collaboration is a key concept related to web 2.0 Wiki's are collaborative in nature
Organic is another aspect of wikis that you have to embrace or you might want to reconsider
what about credibility of wikis? research says that on par with Britannica (with exceptions) and advantage is up-to-date
other key ideas: Colleagues, currency, reusability, participation, practice
wikis also allow us to revise...
Mention of WikiProject Murder Madness and Mayhem on Wikipedia again
UVU's project using a wiki...http://wikilearn.uvu.edu
WikiLearn is Utah Valley University's experimental wiki project for academic content and learning materials. Read the WikiLearn usage policy for more details on the WikiLearn project. If you're a UVU faculty member wondering, why use WikiLearn?, read the tips and ideas on teaching with WikiLearn.
but people have to have valid UVID to edit on the site...
features of wikilearn.uvu.edu: public viewable, academic content only, some complete courses, separated by departments
setting up a wiki on wikispaces.com not sure I will do anything with this after the presentation, but still fun
we are learning how to manage settings of our wikispaces wikis.
am I ready for the messiness of web 2.0 technology (mashups, etc.). The clutter on my office desk says, "Yes"
again reminds me of victorian short fiction prject (http://vsfp.byu.edu) but we set up structure...took a lot of help development to do though.
Will add other thoughts on this one later.
