Web 3.0 / The Semantic Web
Web 1.0 is like buying a can of Campbell's Soup
Web 2.0 is like making homemade soup and inviting your soup-loving friends over
The semantic web is like having a dinner party, knowing that Tom is allergic to gluten, Sally is away til next Thursday and Bob is vegetarian.

Apomediation
Intermediation
Stands in between the consumer and information
Disintermediation
Remove the middle man entirely
Apomediation (latin: separated, detached)

How Physiopedia Was Born

Some Background Info:
Tech Savvy
22/32 use laptops for notes
2 have their own blog
~50% read other blogs
Technology Frustrations
General unrest about our web homes for courses
“Clunky”
“Slow”
“Ugly”
Intensive Format
Ortho II is a 3 credit hr course delivered in 3 weeks!
MCG DPT Class of 2010

Peeps are yummy, but this list of links is not very appetizing!

Survey Results
Statement:
Dr. Robertson should continue to use a wiki for this course.
100% Agreed!

Survey Results
Statement:
The use of instructional technology (blog, wiki, etc.) in this course enhanced my learning.
97% Agreed!

11,500 page views in
3 weeks!

Utility for Others?
Learning Curve
Public vs. Private site
It’s free, but could be enhanced by institutional support for software
Time investment
Many ways to use a wiki!

Spending countless hours making a wiki site for spine course.

I really enjoyed working on this project. I feel that it allowed me a chance to do something that can be seen by many people to come.
Thought this project was an opportunity for us to become more familiar with web-based resources and more importantly contribute to them.
I really enjoyed the process and think it's very neat, that my classmates and I have something useful and public.
I was very intimidated at first because I'm not always the best with computers. However, it was relatively simple and the tutorials really helped.
I felt it was a great experience for learning how to contribute to our profession in a very accessible way.
