  3. Thoughts?

  4. Maybe we should investigate wikis a little more closely and also practise using one Image by: Shutterstock/Michael D Brown

  5. Wiki… in plain English http://www.commoncraft.com/video/wikis

  6. In this lesson students are learning about: • Wikis - their features and functions to support working collaboratively in knowledge creation

  7. At the end of this lesson students will be able to: • identify the features and functions of a wiki • understand the way in which knowledge is being created through ICT • demonstrate working collaboratively through the Internet • provide examples of wikis being used to collaborate on a global scale

  8. Discussion: • Do you have any ideas for what a wiki can be used for? • Can you think of an example of a large-scale wiki in use?

  9. Some points to remember: • Potential problems with user generated content that is publically available like this. For example issues associated with the open nature of Wikipedia have led to various concerns, such as the quality of writing, the amount of vandalism and the accuracy of information. Also some articles contain unverified or inconsistent information. • Since using a wiki will often involve changing work done by others, it is especially important that you are aware of the difference between ‘vandalising’ and making changes to improve the content (editing). • There are also concerns around spelling and grammar as lots of wiki’s don’t have inbuilt spell checking software. How can you draft content before entering or editing into the live wiki?

  10. Thought wall To ensure the quality of our wiki we need to provide a ‘Wiki Warranty’. So what would / should be included in our ‘Wiki Warranty’? This is also to ensure that anybody creating content for the wiki will have guidelines to stick to. A company provides a warranty for a product they produce and the company signs it, you will also sign and agree to the conditions of the ‘Wiki Warranty’. Wiki Warranty Image by: Shutterstock/CoraMax

  11. We will now add content to a wiki that I have set up for you. In groups you are to take responsibility for one page of the wiki and add content that will inform your peers. Remember you are to use the wiki responsibly and you are answerable for the content you generate…. Image by: Shutterstock/Andresr + Kheng Guan Toh

  12. Homework You are going to continue to gather information and add it to the wiki. Choose three websites relating to this week’s topic of wikis Using your account on the social bookmarking website,bookmark your chosen websites. Provide a short description of each one and ‘tag’ each site with a number of descriptive key words Image by: Shutterstock/wwwebmeister Image by: Shutterstock/kentoh
