Creating A Wiki

 Hi All,

I have created a wiki pertaining to library skills. You can view for information or share your information with us @ https://libraryskillstutor.wikispaces.com

Wikis can be used to improve classroom instructions by enabling students to collaborate in a space that is immediately updated and serve as a computer supported collaborative environment. Wikis can also be used to encourage collaboration among students by allowing them to read and edit each others' work. Collaborative writing assignments with wikis encourage students to review each others' pieces and truly reflect on and critique what is being put together instead of just pasting separate components together. Each time a wiki is edited, a separate tracking feature makes note of what changes were made and who made those changes. Wiki users can also create signatures to accompany any edits they make .Wikis can be used to facilitate ongoing, thought-provoking discussions about many topics over the course of semesters or academic years.

The wiki produced covers the subject area of library skills. This piece was a group project that posed some challenges in terms of time management and group meetings. Additionally, it was difficult to maneuver the wiki page so as to make it unique and original.  However, the group members were able to use emails and phone calls as communication mediums, for the successful completion of this piece. More photos and additional applicable videos would have improved the overall function and presentation of the wiki piece.
