Week 7 #16 & 17

I listened to the audio on Wikinomics for about 1 hour. It is interesting how Wiki is being used in organisations. The leadership in a collaborative community is also different in that it is one of encouragement and inclusion. Thus, promoting more participation. It also offers opportunities for the introverted to express their ideas and share with others.

Many examples on Wikis in Education. However, I have yet to spend time to explore its
suitablity in incorporating it into my teaching.

The Sandbox, requires a log in password. Therefore, I was not able to access.

Opinions, comments and views could be expressed in Wiki and for the students they may not be able to discern what is right and what is wrong. Tutors/Lecturers will have to moderate the discussions.

Wikis seemed appropriate for distance learning and less so for classroom teaching where students prefer to face- t0-face discussions.

Have fun with Wikis!
