Wiki

Wiki is a good tool for collaborative projects among a group of people. Because it is on the Web, and can be accessed anywhere, it is a much better communication tool than emails for projects. Everyone can contribute their ideas, edit contents and see all the updates. I used it when I was doing the iResearch project.

Personally, I use Wikipedia a lot. I like to use it to get some general ideas on a concept or a new technology, especially when I am unfamiliar with the topics. I then do a more specific search to find out more information. It is a good starting place. For this 23 things course, I searched Wikipedia on some of the topics when I had no idea at all.

There are a lot of clever people in the world, but not everyone wants or has the opportunity to publish a book. I think Wiki is a good place to start, and the rest of us can benefit from their good ideas.

I believe students use Wikipedia often for their assignments. As a librarian, I use it often as well. I think the important thing is not to rely on one source and also do other kinds of research.

I did not create an account to edit Wiki as I can not find anything to edit, but I sesarched for various Wiki and found some interesting ones.
