Wiki's - Week 4

Week 4 - Wikis

This week in class we had a closer look at Wiki pages.
Previously I have thought that a 'wiki' was just like wikepedia - which it is in a way.

Wiki's are similar to blogs in the sense that they are sharing information to the readers about a particular topic or subject. They are not deemed as a 'credible' source of information - but are usually very informative anyway!

Wiki's are able to be collaboratively written. In class we looked at our Wiki pages for our innovation that we are doing for our assignments, we were able to add writers and contribute to our wiki pages with our partners. In this way we can add and edit pieces written as we go along.

We also created an inspiration document - which outlined features and characteristics of blogs, wikis, webquests and blackboard (a tool on our university website for unit communication between students and lecturers).
