1)      Challenges or limitations you experienced while working collaboratively on wiki

2)      Advantages or benefits from participating in this wiki

3)      Things about the assignment you thought worked well and/or suggested improvements

Post your reply by March 28

3. Analysis and Reflection 20 points

A.      Explain your choice of wiki, topic, and inclusions. Students should outline their contributions to the wiki and share their reflections, concerns, and suggestions for future Wiki-makers. This needs to be handed in. This will include at least 3 separate entries of 1-2 paragraphs each throughout the project :

(1)    When first encountering wiki at the beginning of the course.

(2)   What do you think/feel about this collaborative learning environment?

(3)   What are your expectations for yourself?

(4)   If you have previously used wiki in another course, describe what you have previously learned and how you want to expand your understanding.
What can you contribute as an experienced participant?

(5)  
B. Think about the following and answer to the best of your ability:

(6)   How do you choose which postings to contribute or change? What do you look for?

(a)   What are your thoughts on adding, editing or re-arranging other people's work?

(7)   Do you regularly check your own postings for alterations? Has anyone changed your work and how have you felt about it?

WIKI due

Have you posted to another's wiki? It would be best if you reviewed everyone's. The wiki owner should have given you permission to edit if it is not already an open wiki.
You should have done this already (# 2 on your assignment).

2. Community building and maintenance 30 points

Wikis depend on continual effort by community writers to create a sustainable and active intellectual space. Our class Wikis  are  no exception, and this effort will be rewarded accordingly. The Wiki is your space. 

 I'm going to add #3 to the blog so that you can post the remainder there. If you prefer to have your reflections made private-print #3 and the remainder of the assignment and hand in.

Email your colleagues your wiki site. They will contribute to it. You are encouraged to invite those outside of our class when applicable.

Post Email: March 17 & Post Responses: March 28
