Why wiki? Because learning is social. Wikis encourage collaboration, learning from each other, and allow for quick information sharing. This session will emphasize the importance of how collaborative learning works and expectations for those who engage in wiki group learning and staff development. By demonstrating the ease of a wiki and sharing current examples of wikis in advising practice, participants will gain resources and ideas to bring back to their campus. If you are thinking about collaborative advising & learning with your students and/or staff, you may want to further explore the wonderful world of wikis.
