WIKIs
Why Wiki? Wikis (from the Hawaiian word for quick) are web pages that
can easily and quickly be updated. This makes them ideal for many
purposes: class information, urgent messages, or anything that can
change rapidly. This presentation will discuss one current application
(the Psychology Learning Center web site) and will demonstrate the
creation of an all-new Wiki just for the workshop!
Facilitated by Celia Reaves, Psychology; and Carol Burritt, ETS
Computing.
