IL2006 Day 3: A Wiki as a Research Guide

Chad Boeninger:
Had a bunch of research guides:

redundancy of resources
no interlinking
multiple edits of the same content

why wiki?

easy to add content
more room for content and nuggets
organize by categories
searchable
huge potential for building community
They used wikimedia

They use wikis for instruction, for making guides for class. They’re easy to update
