e-tivity 7: feedback

Well, from your blogs it’s clear that most of you have a clear, or clearer than before, idea of what wikis are. You all mentioned the basic principles that lie behind writing on a wiki, i.e. collaborative editing, respect for others, achieving a common goal, etc. You also noticed the basic structure of most wikis with the various sections and hyperlinks. You all found that the language is formal yet simple due to the fact that the intended audience is global, but recognize the fact that not all wikis are like Wikipedia and that the language may depend on the context and author, especially in the case of private wikis.

I really appreciated those of you who found and cited wikis other than wikipedia – good job searching! That was very helpful for me too. Those of you who found other wikis noticed that the language and rules used are not always the same as those used in Wikipedia.

I’ve corrected your posts and as with the previous e-tivity you can download them by clicking here. Please write back to me with any questions or doubts, though your writing really has improved.

I’ll be curious to see how your ideas of what a wiki is change as we actually start using a wiki in e-tivity 8!

Keep up the good work.
