HCI Wikispaces

HCI WikispacesHCI Wikispaces

• Web-based service which enables online collaboration of web pages in which each user can edit and save changes to web page content using a web browser.

• Serves as a powerful tool for facilitating mass collaborative authoring.

Current Situation

• Individual groups or teachers having already started using wikis for their teaching and learning

• Owners of these wikis will need to add in their own members and log in different wikis in order to access them.

Why We Should Consider Wiki Private Label?

• The school will have its own registered private domain and all wikis associated with HCI will be housed within.

• Users of the private label will only need to do a single sign-in and they will be able to access all their wikis.

• Wikispace private label has enhanced features such as unlimited storage, unlimited wikis and security & privacy.

Wikis may be appropriate for use as a tool IF

• Collaboration is needed to achieve an outcome such as a committee working together or

• students / staff working on a project together, or when ideas are needed from a variety of people around an issue.

• The content is of an educational nature

However,

• Confidential materials such as SPA & tests, are not to be placed in wikis.

• Intellectual property & privacy of users must not be compromised.

• For more information, please refer to www.wiki.hci.edu.sg.
