What is a wiki? Source: Wikipedia (25-Oct-2007; version 166712647 )

Wiki Benefits ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],Unlike many software tools that have a steep learning curve, require training to use, and are advertised on the number of features included, wiki developers take the opposite approach. The resulting simplicity of the wiki has a compounding effect, that is, the more people use it, the more they want to keep using it and their contributions become vital to the growth of information and community. -- Stewart Mader, Using Wiki in Education

Considerations for Implementing a Wiki

Content & Access ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],Closed to the general public; open to those involved with SIS projects and initiatives. In general, anyone with access can create new content and improve existing content; there are few spaces with access restrictions.

Structure ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],No specific structure has been imposed on JHU’s wiki; spaces and pages have grown organically. Standards have evolved by cloning existing content as templates rather than through imposition.

Product Selection ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],JHU selected Atlassian’s Confluence and hosts the system locally.

Outcomes: Changes in Work Habits ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],adapted from Stewart Mader’s Using Wiki in Education An e-mail/Word document scenario has limited periods of creativity separated by the logistical and socially sensitive task of combining edits. The wiki completely changes this by shifting logistics to the shortest possible segment of time at the outset, leaving a much greater period of time for collaborative creativity and knowledge construction.
