Denn wer heute im Internet etwas sucht, sei es eine Arbeit, einen Artikel, oder sonst irgendetwas, benutzt gerne Wikipedia oder ande- re Wikis, um sich einen ersten Überblick zu verschaffen. Dann wird in einem weiteren Teil näher auf Wiki, dessen Besonderheiten und Funktionen de- taillierter eingegangen und an einigen Beispielen gezeigt, wie und wo Wikis eingesetzt wer- den und deren Vorteile gegenüber anderen Lösungen aufgezeigt. - ii - 1. Wikipedia Geschichte Die erste belegte Idee, das Internet zur kooperativen Erstellung einer Enzyklopädie zu ver- wenden, veröffentlichte Rick Gates, ein Internet Pionier, der vor allem durch die von ihm ver- anstaltete The Internet Hunt und den Vorschlag zur Interpedia bekannt ist. Am 22. Oktober 1993 schlug er angeblich in der Usenet-Newsgroup alt.internet.services vor, gemeinsam eine Enzyklopädie im Internet zu erstellen. Aus dieser Idee entwickelte sich das Projekt „Interpedia“, das als Vorläufer der Wikipedia gilt.am 22. Oktober 1993 im Usenet. Das als Inter- pedia diskutierte Projekt, wie auch die 1999 von Richard Stallman, einem der bekanntesten Vertreter der Freie-Software-Bewegung, angeregte GNU-Pedia, kamen über das Planungs- stadium allerdings nicht hinaus. Der Internet-Unternehmer Jimmy Wales startete im März 2000 seinen Anlauf zu einer Internet- Enzyklopädie. Er engagierte über die Firma Bomis, deren Teilhaber und Geschäftsführer Wa- les damals war, den Philosophiedozenten Larry Sanger und rief mit ihm als Chefredakteur die Nupedia ins Leben. Für diese erfolgte die Erarbeitung der Artikel mit einem kleineren Kreis von Fachautoren, und vor der Veröffentlichung wurden alle Artikel einer ausführlichen Prüfung unterworfen. Der Redaktionsprozess lehnte sich stark an den konventionellen Enzyklopädien an. Autoren mussten sich bewerben und ihre Texte anschließend einen langwierigen Peer- Review durchlaufen. Entsprechend langsam entwickelte sich das Projekt. Die Artikel unterlagen anfangs der eigenen Nupedia Open Content License, im Januar 2001 wechselte man auf Drängen von Richard Stallman zur GNU-Lizenz für freie Dokumentation. Dieser startete aber zeitgleich das GNUpedia-Projekt, wodurch Befürchtungen einer mögli- chen Konkurrenz der beiden Projekte geweckt wurden. Da Nupedia einen sehr bürokrati- schen Arbeitsablauf hatte, waren die Artikel zwar von sehr hoher Qualität, aber das Projekt wuchs nur sehr langsam. Um sich gegenüber GNUpedia, welches später wegen der Namen- sähnlichkeit in Anlehnung an GNU in GNE umbenannt wurde (GNE is Not an Encyclopedia), in eine bessere Ausgangsposition zu bringen, startete Jimmy Wales das Wikipedia-Projekt. Ende 2000/Anfang 2001 wurden sowohl Wales als auch Sanger auf das Wiki-Prinzip aufmerksam gemacht – angestoßen durch Sanger ging daraufhin bereits am 10. Januar ein Wiki innerhalb des Nupedia-Projekts online; nur fünf Tage später, am 15. Januar 2001, war es dann unter der eigenständigen Adresse wikipedia.com erreichbar. Dies gilt als die Geburtsstunde der Wi- kipedia. Wikipedia war ursprünglich nur als Vorstufe für Nupedia-Artikel gedacht, zog aber viele Ak- teure an und entwickelte eine große Eigendynamik. Der Erfolg führte nicht nur zur Beendigung des GNUpedia-Projektes, sondern auch von Nupedia. Bomis beendete seine Unterstützung im Februar 2002 und Larry Sanger trat kurz darauf sowohl aus dem Nupedia- wie Wikipedia- Projekt aus. In der Folgezeit wurden nur noch zwei Artikel fertig gestellt. Das Projekt wurde im September 2003 beendet. Viele Artikel wurden in die Wikipedia übernommen. - 1 - Ursprünglich sollte Wikipedia als Plattform zur gemeinsamen Erstellung von Artikeln dienen, die später den Redaktionsprozess der Nupedia durchlaufen sollten. Vor allem aufgrund seiner Offenheit – das Wiki-Prinzip gestattete die Mitarbeit ohne Registrierung – entwickelte sich das Vorhaben so rasant, dass diese Idee immer mehr in den Hintergrund trat. Am 15. März 2001 kündigte Jimmy Wales auf der Wikipedia-Mailingliste an, Versionen auch in anderen Sprachen einzurichten, unter den ersten waren die französisch- und die deutsch- sprachige Wikipedia. Ende des Jahres 2001 existierte die Wikipedia bereits in 18 verschiede- nen Sprachen. Im Februar 2002 entschied sich Bomis, nicht länger einen Chefredakteur zu beschäftigen und kündigte den Vertrag mit Larry Sanger. Dieser stellte kurze Zeit später seine Arbeit bei Nupedia und Wikipedia ein. Um eine weitere Aufspaltung

  • A New Wave of Freedom
    A New Wave of Freedom Dr. V. Sasi Kumar Any action that is dictated by fear or by coercion of any kind ceases to be moral. | Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi India became a Sovereign Republic on 26 January 1950. India became free. Or, more precisely, political power was transferred from the British to Indians. That was a period when a number of countries that were living under the yoke of imperialism broke free. Politically, that is. We still do not enjoy certain freedoms that we deserve. A new wave of freedom movements, to achieve these freedoms, is now sweeping the world|a movement that is bound to change the way we think, the way we do things and the way we interact. This time it started from the United States and is aiming to free people from the clutches of monopoly corporations. And the role of Gandhiji is being played by an extraordinary person with long hair and a long beard; a man named Richard Mathew Stallman, though he vehemently rejects any comparison with Gandhiji or Nelson Mandela. \Till we are fully free, we are slaves", said Gandhiji. Developments in technology have made it possible for mankind to enjoy greater freedom in certain ways. However, vested interests, with help from legislators, are now succeeding in preventing society from enjoying this freedom. For instance, with the advent of the computer and the Internet, it has become possible for data, information and knowledge to be communicated instantaneously, provided a computer with Internet connection is available at both ends. However, some of our laws that were designed for an earlier era are preventing society from benefiting fully from this technology.

GLAMTools project The “Report on requirements for usage and reuse statistics for GLAM content” is part of the Europeana GLAMTools project, a joint Wikimedia Chapters and Europeana project. The purpose of the project is to develop a scalable and maintainable system for mass uploading (open) content from galleries, libraries, archives and museums (henceforth GLAMs) to Wikimedia Commons and to create GLAM-specific requirements for usage statistics. The GLAMTools project is initiated and made possible by financial support from Wikimedia France, Wikimedia UK, Wikimedia Netherlands, and Wikimedia Switzerland. Maarten Zeinstra from Kennisland wrote the research behind this report and the report itself. Kennisland is a Dutch think tank active in the cultural sector, working especially with open content, dissemination of cultural heritage and copyright law and is also a partner in the project.

  • Brion Vibber 2011-08-05 Haifa Part I: Editing So Pretty!
    Editing 2.0 MediaWiki's upcoming visual editor and the future of templates Brion Vibber 2011-08-05 Haifa Part I: Editing So pretty! Wikipedia articles can include rich formatting, beyond simple links and images to complex templates to generate tables, pronunciation guides, and all sorts of details. So icky! But when you push that “edit” button, you often come face to face with a giant blob of markup that’s very hard to read. Here we can’t even see the first paragraph of the article until we scroll past several pages of infobox setup. Even fairly straightforward paragraphs start to blur together when you break out the source. The markup is often non-obvious; features that are clearly visible in the rendered view like links and images don’t stand out in the source view, and long inline citations and such can make it harder to find the actual body text you wanted to edit. RTL WTF? As many of you here today will be well aware, the way our markup displays in a raw text editor can also be really problematic for right-to-left scripts like Hebrew and Arabic. It’s very easy to get lost about whether you’ve opened or closed some tag, or whether your list item is starting at the beginning of a line. Without control over the individual pieces, we can’t give any hints to the text editor. RTL A-OK The same text rendered as structured HTML doesn’t have these problems; bullets stay on the right side of their text, and reference citations are distinct entities.

  • 100+ Ways to Assess
    1 2 100+ Ways to Assess: 1. Annotated Bibliography: a list of citations followed by a brief descriptive and evaluative paragraph, the purpose of which is to inform the reader of the relevance, accuracy, and quality of the sources cited. 2. Assessment Stations: students rotate between different stations which have different questions to answer at them; e.g. a science practical assessment where questions relate to particular artefacts at each station. 3. Book Review: gives the reader a concise summary of the content including a relevant description of the topic as well as its overall perspective, argument, or purpose. Second, and more importantly, a review offers a critical assessment of the content. 4. Business Plan: a formal statement of business goals, reasons they are attainable, and plans for reaching them. It may also contain background information about the organization or team attempting to reach those goals. 5. Capstone Project: students pursue independent research on a question or problem of their choice, engage with the scholarly debates in the relevant disciplines, and produce a substantial thesis/dissertation providing a deep understanding of the topic. 6. Case Study: detailed examination of a subject of study (the case), as well as its related contextual conditions (often associated with medicine or law). 7. Clinical Observation: observation and feedback for teaching and evaluating medical student communication skills between trainee physician and patient may involve role plays or actual trainee-patient interactions. 8. Concept Map: a type of graphic organizer that can used to organize and represent knowledge of a subject. Concept maps begin with a main idea (or concept) and then branch out to show how that main idea can be broken down into specific topics.

  • Instructor Basics: Howtouse Wikipedia As Ateaching Tool
    Instructor Basics: How to use Wikipedia as a teaching tool Wiki Education Foundation Wikipedia is the free online encyclopedia that anyone can edit. One of the most visited websites worldwide, Wikipedia is a resource used by most university students. Increasingly, many instructors around the world have used Wikipedia as a teaching tool in their university classrooms as well. In this brochure, we bring together their experiences to help you determine how to use Wikipedia in your classroom. We’ve organized the brochure into three parts: Assignment planning Learn key Wikipedia policies and get more information on designing assignments, with a focus on asking students to write Wikipedia articles for class. During the term Learn about the structure of a good Wikipedia article, the kinds of articles students should choose to improve, suggestions for what to cover in a Wikipedia lab session, and how to interact with the community of Wikipedia editors. After the term See a sample assessment structure that’s worked for other instructors. 2 Instructor Basics Assignment planning Understanding key policies Since Wikipedia started in 2001, the community of volunteer editors – “Wikipedians” – has developed several key policies designed to ensure Wikipedia is as reliable and useful as possible. Any assignment you integrate into your classroom must follow these policies. Understanding these cornerstone policies ensures that you develop an assignment that meets your learning objectives and improves Wikipedia at the same time.
