Wikis are websites that allow easy creation and editing of interconnected web pages through a web browser. Wikipedia is a free, web-based encyclopedia that is written and edited collaboratively by volunteers around the world. For a 2D foundations art class, students worked in teams to create wiki pages summarizing key concepts, with each team responsible for one topic per week. This allowed the class to build an online textbook with visual examples and references. The instructor was then able to use the wiki for class discussions on the accuracy and quality of the student content.

Clay Shirky on Wikis UNI presentation
This document summarizes key points from Clay Shirky's book "Here Comes Everybody: The Power of Organizing Without Organizations". It discusses how Wikipedia is an example of mass collaboration enabled by the internet. Wikipedia started as an experiment but grew rapidly due to its open editing model and spontaneous division of labor among contributors. While most edit only once, dedicated editors form a community and are motivated by various factors. The open model is enabled by real-time peer review that quickly undoes vandalism. Shirky argues wikis thrive on "wiki love" from their community rather than collectivism.

Immersive Education: How Virtual Object Have Meaning
A presentation by Anthony Fontana at the University of Oregon's Immersive Education Days conference on Immersive Education with Virtual Worlds and technology.
This presentation talks about how art can be used to understand the way virtual objects exist and thereby create "Immersion" in virtual worlds.
This slideshow has been modified from its original presentation for online viewing.
Amp Meaning
Artists create works that can influence how people think about and understand the world. Art does not have a fixed or definite meaning, and different viewers may interpret the same work in different ways. The meaning of a work of art is constructed not by the object itself but by the viewer, based on their background, experiences, and other contextual factors. Effective artworks aim to provoke thought and discussion through open-ended questions rather than providing definitive answers.
SLEDcc08: Learning From Experience in Second Life
Text and voice chats in Second Life can be disrupted by multiple factors including many avatars participating, late or early arrivals, multitasking, and technology issues. Blended real-world and virtual events require planning and assistance to help real-world audiences understand Second Life. Successful strategies include discussing Second Life issues in the real world, simplifying technical aspects, using groups and navigation aids, and considering how avatar interactions differ from real life.
Siggraph 2008 Machinima in Education
This document discusses using machinima, or computer-generated animation created within virtual worlds, for various purposes related to education. It describes how machinima can be used for tutorials, documentaries, live events, and narratives. It also addresses how machinima production allows for highly collaborative work and explores the aesthetics of machinima as a cultural form of recording virtual experiences.

How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.
LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

- 2. WHAT’S A WIKI? WIKI : is a website that allows the easy creation and editing of any number of interlinked web pages via a web browser
- 9. WIKIS WORK CREATING OUR OWN TEXTBOOK the students were able to build a resource library that accurately described and included visual examples the key concepts we were studying in class. INFORMATION was taken from articles about art found on the web and link referenced on each page. IMAGES were taken sources like Google Images, Flickr, and shot or created by students themselves. INCLUDED each week in class was a presentation by one of the groups about their newest article. INSTRUCTOR was able to use wiki as a catalyst for discussion about the article. Was it right? What needed changed? What would a better example look like?
