Outline Definition/ origins Why a wiki? Wikipedia entries Examples of wikis Advantages of Wikis

Definition WikiWiki, means "super fast" in the Hawaiian language( Adele Aubrey, Univ. of Manchester) Wiki refers to both the website and the software to create & maintain the site A wiki is a website that can be edited and contributed to by anyone (can be restricted to an intranet like the Wiki on KNG

Wiki: “…a web application that allows users to add content, as on an Internet forum, but also allows anyone to edit the content. The Portland Pattern Repository was the first wiki, established by Ward Cunningham on March 25, He invented the wiki name and concept, and implemented the first wiki engine.” -- Wikipedia,

Harnessing Collective Intelligence Wikis are  hypertext-based  collaborative software  enabling documents to be authored collectively using a web browser ( Adele Aubrey, Univ. of Manchester)

Sharing Knowledge Everyone as Publisher Wikis enable team members to share knowledge simply and quickly the collective knowledge base of the group can be efficiently managed and navigated. (Adele Aubrey, Univ. of Manchester)

Tracking the edit history Users can track changes made to pages have alerts sent to them via letting them know when others have made changes

Talk Pages Article Talk Pages situations in which collaborators on an article can benefit mutually from discussing the article User Talk Pages communicate directly with other users or leave them messages

Advantages of Wikis over books? May: convey more easily understandable information through interlinking updateable Extensible* information more collaborative,  BUT Quality control is an issue * can be upgraded to fully handle the new data in the newer input format.
