Week 7: Wikis

This week is all about wikis and so we set up a FAQ Wiki for the GSU Library. We are going to explore collaborative group work. Our wiki has a page for each of the departments in the library and the idea is to post commonly asked questions along with the answers. The beauty of a wiki is that one person can post the question and someone else can come in and supply the answer.



There is also a good discussion going about the authenticity of the entries in wikis. The fact that some wikis allow anyone to edit with checking the facts raises flags. We are discussing the different ways of limiting who edits the wikis. There are passwords, locking the wiki, and the discussion is continuing.
