Thursday, January 31, 2008 - E learning week 2 :

This week is e-learning week again. So.. no lessons.

We're supposed to do practical 7, which is about updating our Wiki with the information we found during practical 6a and 6b.

I find that the Wiki is a very very powerful tool in the internet now. Previously, people have to subscribe to their own WWW, to get their own website. However, with Wiki, anyone with a computer and internet connection would be able to create a blog or a Wiki. Blog may seem better then Wiki. However, blogs do not allow strangers to edit your content or contribute. A Wiki allows everyone to contribute, and i think that is a very powerful tool. Things improve because people contribute and give comments. Therefore, i think that Wiki is a great way to start a discussion on a new topic and share your views with everyone.

When i look at Wikipedia, i think that it is very complicated to and time consuming to create a page on a particular topic. But after going through wetpaint Wiki, i found out that, creating a Wiki is actually very simple, and it serves as a great tool for project communication. If the Wiki is only for our group, it can also be used as message board, to inform the other group mates of the progression of the project.

The Wiki would definitely help me in my future project or work... cause it FREE!
