- 26. Why would Wiley want a Wiki? Instructors want access to more than just text and pictures Sharing is happening (Engineering Pathway, Merlot, Curriki, etc.) Publishers excel at acquiring, vetting, and aggregating content Collaboration is key to book development—wikis facilitate this Provide access to entire catalog in context 26 IntroEngineering Wiki
- 27. Next Steps Encourage community to explore and provide feedback online Continue to acquire content and provide resources based on user feedback Continue to explore new business models 27 IntroEngineering Wiki
