Revision as of 17:32, 26 October 2005 by 18.85.44.39 (talk)
The following is a brief summary of the major online autoring/communication tools that we have talked about in our group meetings. The best way to get a glimps of these services is probably to play around with them a bit.
Wiki
(Description adapted from Wikipedia)
A wiki is a group of Web pages that allows users to add content, as on an Internet forum, but also allows others (often completely unrestricted) to edit the content. In essence, the wiki is a vast simplification of the process of creating HTML pages, and thus is a very effective way to exchange information through collaborative effort.
Wiki is sometimes interpreted as the abbreviation for 'what I know, is', which describes the knowledge contribution, storage and exchange up to some point.
