Wikis Described in Plain English
<via> a post from George Siemens on elearnspace that points to Common Craft
Wikis Described in Plain English is a clear and concise writeup on wikis- good place to start for those wanting to learn about wikis.
I always like to find out who is authoring sites and learn more about the objectives and mission. I found this from George Siemans on his about page:
I’m somewhat idealistic. Everything of consequence that I have learned about technology and education, I’ve learned for free. I’ve had the pleasure to explore and visit resources of elearning experts from around the world. Most that I’ve contacted have been very willing to share experiences and suggestions. In the spirit of that type of assistance, I decided to create a resource on elearning that links many disparate resources, in an attempt to give a complete, whole picture view of elearning…one that appeals to the beginner - and to the guru.
I’d say his site is a wonderful resource. I like his writing a lot. The learning continues…..a huge thank-you to George Siemans!
