Wikis...

The class was given a collaborative assignment to work on a wiki....

We started the wiki page in class, each person had to sign in as a user. We met on Saturday and had an awesome brainstorming session. I was very pleased for this session because we had our own ideas of what was required in the wiki. Dr Zinn explained to us exactly what was needed. We then got down to some serious work, the ideas and  comments were very encouraging.
 Let see how this pans out.....

The idea of a "Wiki" may seem odd at first, but dive in, explore its links and it will soon seem familiar. "Wiki" is a composition system; it's a discussion medium; it's a repository; it's a mail system; it's a tool for collaboration. We don't know quite what it is, but we do know it's a fun way to communicate asynchronously across the network.
