Wikis are freely editable websites that allow for collaborative knowledge sharing. They provide a disruptive technology that enables dynamic possibilities in corporations, higher education, and libraries through collaborative authoring, project management, course materials, and more. While wikis provide advantages like asynchronous collaboration and leveling information access, they also present challenges like ensuring content quality and addressing legal issues. Popular wiki engines include MediaWiki, MoinMoin, and PmWiki, which are open source options implemented in different programming languages that can be selected based on features and user needs.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Â
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
⢠The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
⢠The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate âany matterâ at âany timeâ under House Rule X.
⢠The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
Â
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasnât one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

6. <Quote> (1) âThe basic [idea] of the Web is that [it is] an information space through which people can [not only] communicate [in general], but communicate in a special way: communicate by sharing their knowledge in a pool.
7. <Quote> (2) The idea was not just that it should be a big browsing medium. The idea was that everybody would be putting their ideas in, as well as taking them out.â Tim Berners-Lee Father of the Web http://www.w3.org/1999/04/13-tbl.html

14. Wiki (2) âWiki is a ⌠collaborative space ⌠because of its total freedom, ease of access, and use, [and] simple and uniform navigational conventions ⌠.â â[It] ... is also a way to organize and cross-link knowledge ⌠.â Ward Cunningham Father of the Wiki (Leuf and Cunningham 2001, 16)
15. Wiki (3) The original Wiki - the Portland Pattern Repository -was created by Ward Cunningham in 1995 (c2.com/cgi/wiki?WikiHistory). 'Wiki wiki' (pronounced âwickyâ, âweekeeâ or âveekeeâ) (encyclopedia.laborlawtalk.com/Wiki# Pronunciation) is a Hawaiian term for 'quick' or 'super-fast' (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiki).
16. Wiki (4) âCunningham coined the term âWikiâ after the âwiki wikiâ or âquickâ shuttle buses at Honolulu Airportâ (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiki#History). The wiki concept reflects his view that a Web-based database should be simple to create and easy to use (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ward_Cunningham).
21. Features and Functionalities (1) Most wikis provide the user with a set of navigation or utility tools such as: Ability to edit a page View recently changes pages âHistoryâ feature to view or roll back to a previous version of a page (Peterson 2004, 14)
22. Features and Functionalities (2) âDiscussâ offline changes or proposed changes to a page A âbacklinksâ function (view all the pages that link to the page currently displayed) Search function (Peterson 2004, 14)
23. Features and Functionalities (3) Most public wikis do not generally require that readers register Additions or modifications made by readers typically are not reviewed prior to publication within a wiki (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiki)
26. Wiki Advantages (1) Asynchronous benefit of incorporating the assistance of experts, peers and other professionals Excellent means to annotate evolving issues where spare notes, thoughts, and a meandering collection of file formats exist Facilitate the exchange of ideas for small group projects Provides for a more creative environment and expanding knowledgebase in project management
27. Wiki Advantages (2) Level the playing field and allow all opinions to be heard Increase communication efficiency and productivity over âback-and-forthâ exchanges of e-mail attachments and discussion boards Provide a way to get everyone on the same page through the writable Web Harness the power of diverse individuals to create collaborative works
28. Wiki Advantages (3) Wikis have the potential to provide individuals with a forum for improving knowledge and advancing thought processes form collaborative social research communities with respect to project management, and provide innovative reference repositories forall aspects of planning, operation, and implementation (Bean and Hott 2005, 8)
29. Wiki Advantages (4) Wikis Have the Potential and Power to Change How We Think About How We Live and Work. (Bean and Hott 2005, 6-7)
30. Wiki Disadvantages (1) Installation can be demanding, particularly for some Wiki engine software (e.g., TWiki) Editing wiki documents can be cumbersome for some individuals Overcoming cultural hurdles of hierarchy, control, and a sense of lack of accountability Issues of legal liability, privacy, reputation, and security must be considered
31. Wiki Disadvantages (2) Content accuracy, balance, comprehensiveness, and consistency, and reliability can be questioned Wikis are cumulative rather than serial Articles, by design, are always in flux, editable, and have a mixed degree of quality and finality (Bean and Hott 2005, 7) (Bean and Hott 2005, 7)
32. Wiki Engines âWiki software is a type of collaborative software that runs a Wiki system. It is usually implemented as a server-side script that runs on one or more Web servers, with the content generally stored in a relational database management system, although some implementations use the server's file system instead.â http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiki_engine
33. Top Wiki Engines (1) MediaWiki http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki Feature-rich wiki implementation Written in PHP and uses an underlying MySQL relational database management system GNU General Public License Used in Wikipedia [http://en.wikipedia.org/] MoinMoin http://moinmoin.wikiwikiweb.de/ Implemented in Python Flat file GNU General Public License
34. Top Wiki Engines (2) PmWiki http://www.pmichaud.com/wiki/PmWiki/ Developed by Patrick Michaud Uses PHP scripting language Flat file GNU General Public License TikiWiki http://tikiwiki.org/tiki-index.php Open source content management system (CMS) and Groupware that can be used to create Web applications, sites, portals, intranets and extranets Based on Linux, Apache, MySQL and PHP
35. Top Wiki Engines (3) UseModWiki http://www.usemod.com/cgi-bin/wiki.pl Written by Clifford Adams in the Perl programming language Flat file GNU General Public License http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?TopTenWikiEngines
36. How to Choose a Wiki Engine (1) Who is developing it? A single person or a growing team? Under what license is it distributed? Who is using the wiki? A good wiki engine is likely to have a large group of existing users, and this is helpful if you need support running it. Platform: should it run on a server or a local machine? Is online access needed? What OS does the machine run and is the wiki software ported to it?
37. How to Choose a Wiki Engine (2) Features for editors: easy to write (and powerful) formatting rules, WYSIWYG capabilities, sectional editing, easy to roll back to earlier versions, file upload, insert image, able to write complex formulae etc. Features for readers: table of contents, search, navigation bar, access statistics, article rating, high quality printable version User management: user personal page, personalized toolbar and preferences Groupware features: forum, gallery, message system Access controls: This is important for company intranet with security consideration
38. How to Choose a Wiki Engine (3) Be able to import external files (e.g., HTML, Word document), export to external files (e.g., Word document, PDF) Multilingual support Extensibility: What third-party plugins exist, and what mechanisms are there for creating them Portability: Are you locked into a particular package or wikitext format? Is it possible to export your text to other systems? Scalability: Is it suitable for large amount of pages or is it just light-weight wiki software? Most scalable wiki software need a back end database to store pages http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiki_software

52. Disruptive Technologies (2) âA Disruptive Technology is a new technological innovation, product, or service that eventually overturns the existing dominant technology in the market, despite the fact that the disruptive technology is both radically different than the leading technology and that it often initially performs worse than the leading technology according to existing measures of performance. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disruptive_technology
53. Disruptive Technologies (3) The term âDisruptive Technologyâ was coined by Clayton M. Christensen and described in his 1997 book The Innovator's Dilemma. In his sequel, The Innovator's Solution, Christensen replaced the term with the term âDisruptive Innovationâ because he recognized that few technologies are intrinsically disruptive or sustaining in character. It is strategy that creates the disruptive impact.â http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disruptive_technology

98. Conversational Technologies (2) âThe wiki ⌠has as its basic information unit the Comment-on-Topic. Neither time nor user are relevant (for information presentation), and the information unit in its most updated form represents the best and most timely version of thoughts on that topic. Wikis thus permit incremental improvement of an information unit.â Christian Wagner and Narasimha Bolloju, âSupporting Knowledge Management in Organization with Conversation Technologies: Discussion Forums, Weblogs, and Wikis,â Journal of Database Management 16, no. 2 (April-June 2005): i-viii. http://wagnernet.com/tiki/tiki-download_file.php?fileId=7
100. Disruptive Scholarship (1) In view of its collaborative features and functionalities, and the nature and character of alternative methods of quality management outlined, the Wiki environment could provide an outstanding framework for * PREPARING * EDITING * REVIEWING * ASSESSING * PUBLISHING for a range of scholarly work, including manuscripts, articles, journals, and monographs.
101. Disruptive Scholarship (2) In one possible wiki-based publication scenario, an author would prepare a manuscript draft using locally-installed wiki engine software (or institutional wiki) that best suits his/her needs or preferences. In a first stage review, colleagues would be invited to participate in a review of the draft. At this stage, the author can choose to allow first-stage reviewers to edit the text, or limit participation to a discussion space.
102. Disruptive Scholarship (3) At a second stage, known specialists in the field(s) covered by the manuscript could be invited to review the revised first stage version.As in the first stage review, second stage reviewers would be granted open permission to edit the manuscript text, or be restricted to commenting on its content. At a third â and perhaps final stage - the author could request that others (such members of a professional electronic discussion list) review and edit and/or comment on the new, revised version.
103. Disruptive Scholarship (4) After final review, the revised final stage version could be locked from future discussion or editing. The locking of the final version could constitute formal publication of the work. Alternatively, the author/editor in chief at some later time could unlock the published version and invite any reader to discuss and/or edit it, thereby creating a âlivingâ, dynamic, potentially ever-changing-and improving document, by doing so.
106. David Mattison âI think a wiki is highly appropriate for scholarly communication if all the scholars trust one another and are collaborating on a text âŚ, and security and rollback mechanisms are in place.â>>> http://lists.webjunction.org/wjlists/web4lib/2004-August/000993.html
107. âWikis are just another tool [of the] Collaborative Web ⌠.The question of whether what emerges from that collaboration is authoritative or scholarly depends on other factors often above and beyond the collaborative process itself.â http://lists.webjunction.org/wjlists/web4lib/2004-August/000993.html
