Reflections (Week 15)
Wiki is an open-editing system that allows anyone to edit the content quickly and easily.
Its the CNY week, and there is e-learning for EIR, whereby we worked as a group and collaborated our class Wiki on Email, Chat and Instant Messaging Ethics.
This was my first time using Wiki and I feel that it is meaningful because it is a collaborative way of pooling our resources together and sharing it with everyone. It is also fun as every part of the Wiki, from pictures to words, are contributed by different classmates to form a final "masterpiece".
Through this experience, i feel that i have a better understanding of how Wikipedia works as well.
So, would i use Wiki for research in my own diploma?
Definitely yes, because it consists of a diversity of views and knowledge collaborated by different people, and will serve to value-add to my understanding of my research. However, before i use it to substantiate my points in any project, i will be cautious and evaluate the information that i have obtained because the content might be misleading if anyone in the community has not been responsible in their contributions.
Success in EIR! ;
