Ein Mediawiki-Handbuch Von Einsteigern Für Einsteiger ein Mediawiki-Handbuch von Einsteigern für Einsteiger Dieses Handbuch ist Ergebnis eines Seminars am Institut für Journalistik und Kommunikationsforschung (IJK) der Hochschule für Musik und Theater Hannover im Sommersemester 2007 2 Vorwort Dieses Handbuch ist das Ergebnis eines Seminars am Institut für Journalistik und Kommunikationsforschung (IJK) der Hochschule für Musik und Theater Hannover. Im Sommersemester 2007 haben wir uns im Rahmen der Veranstaltung „Multimediale Präsentationsformen/Content Management“ intensiv mit dem Phänomen „wiki“ beschäftigt: Wir haben die Entstehungsgeschichte der Software und der bekannten Enzyklopädie „wikipedia“ beobachtet, die „Qualitätsdebatte“ verfolgt und Kooperationsmechanismen in der „wiki-Welt“ untersucht. Vor allem aber haben wir selber praktisch gearbeitet und ein wiki installiert, gefüllt und am Leben gehalten. Dabei ist für Studierende der Journalistik und Kommunikationswissenschaft vor allem die Frage spannend, wie ein wiki als „soziales System“ zu Leben gebracht und am Leben gehalten werden kann. Uns ist dies gelungen, indem wir ein „Meta-wiki“ geschaffen haben: Ein wiki, das Einsteigern die Funktionsweise von wikis ganz praktisch erklärt. Dabei haben wir viel über die Technik und die Funktionsweisen der Software mediawiki gelernt und wollen dieses Wissen nun weiter geben. Dazu haben wir ein Handbuch geschrieben, wie wir es uns wünschen: In sympathischer Sprache, mit vielen Beispielen und „Schritt-für-Schritt“- Erklärungen lernen auch EDV-Einsteiger, wie Sie Ihr Wissen über ein wiki mit Anderen teilen – von der Software-Installation bis zur Moderation des „lebenden“ wiki. Diese pdf-Version des Handbuchs ist eine Augenblickaufnahme des Wissens, das die Studierenden im Rahmen des Seminars auf der Projekt-Homepage (www.medienspielwiese.de) angesammelt haben. Wir wünschen uns, dass auf der Projekt- Homepage weiter an unserem Handbuch gearbeitet wird, laden aber auch jede Autorin und jeden Autor ein, sich dort eine word-Version des Handbuchs herunter zu laden und weiter daran zu arbeiten. Das Handbuch baut auf vorhandenen Quellen auf und verweist nach Möglichkeit auf diese. Es ist öffentlich verfügbar und darf weitergegeben und verändert werden. Wir bitten dabei, die Autoren oder Quellen von Textstellen stets zu benennen. Ich persönlich danke dem IJK und dem sehr engagierten Mitarbeiter/Innen-Team für die stets große Unterstützung, die ich als externer Lehrbeauftragter sehr schätze. Und ich gratuliere dem Studierenden-Team, die dieses Handbuch geschrieben haben: Von wiki- Einsteigern zu den Verfasser/Innen eines Handbuchs in nur einem Semester – das ist spitze!

  • Collaboration and Communication Via Wiki: the Experience of Curtin University Library and Information Service
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by E-LIS COLLABORATION AND COMMUNICATION VIA WIKI: THE EXPERIENCE OF CURTIN UNIVERSITY LIBRARY AND INFORMATION SERVICE Constance Wiebrands1 1 Curtin University of Technology Library and Information Service, GPO Box U1987, W.A, 6845. 1 [email protected] Abstract The idea behind the wiki, a website that can be created and edited by many different users, can sometimes be difficult to come to terms with. Unlike traditional content management and web authoring systems, the wiki is “egalitarian”, enabling all users to have access to its writing and publishing features. Within the organisational context, the wiki is emerging as one of the more flexible, dynamic and simple yet powerful online tools available for knowledge sharing and collaboration. Its version control and change tracking capabilities can also facilitate efficient record keeping and promote transparency. This paper describes Curtin University Library’s experience of designing, developing and implementing a wiki for enhancing communication within and across teams, as well as for collaborating on cross-sectional projects. The challenges of training library staff in using this new technology are discussed. Some of the advantages and disadvantages of wiki technology, as experienced in an academic library environment, are also examined. Introduction The wiki is a recent development of the web that has been attracting the notice of organisations because of its usefulness as a collaborative tool. The Research Services unit, part of the Library and Information Service at Curtin University of Technology, has been trialling the use of a wiki.

  • Wikis As a Tool for Collaborative Language Learning: Implications for Literacy, Language Education and Multilingualism
    ISSN 2335-2019 (Print), ISSN 2335-2027 (Online) Darnioji daugiakalbystė | Sustainable Multilingualism | 5/2014 http://dx.doi.org/10.7220/2335-2027.5.8 Selami Aydin Balikesir University, Turkey WIKIS AS A TOOL FOR COLLABORATIVE LANGUAGE LEARNING: IMPLICATIONS FOR LITERACY, LANGUAGE EDUCATION AND MULTILINGUALISM Summary. This study presents a review of the literature concerning the use of wikis as a tool for collaborative learning in the second language acquisition and foreign language learning process, as research on the use of wikis is relatively new. The study first introduces the theoretical background behind the use of wikis in the mentioned processes. Then, it reviews the studies concerning wikis as a tool for collaborative language learning. The study concludes that the use of wikis improves basic language skills, encourages positive perceptions of learning, increases motivation, provides opportunities to practice autonomy, and enhances inquiry learning and critical thinking, although they appear to have no effect on cultural proficiency. More importantly, Wikis appear to be an advantageous tool for improving writing, and may have additional benefits in developing literacy in multilingual contexts where access to minor languages in the educational process is limited. The paper ends with practical recommendations for teachers and researchers. Keywords: collaborative learning; collaboration; foreign language learning; learner autonomy; second language learning. Introduction Within the contexts of second language acquisition and foreign language learning, wikis constitute a quickly emerging and popular learning tool. Because research on their efficiency is relatively new, wikis’ efficacy in the language acquisition and learning processes remains an open question. This study aims to review various scientific studies on the use of wikis as a tool for collaborative learning and their role within second language acquisition and foreign language learning contexts.

    Wiki Justice, Social Ergonomics, and Ethical Collaborations By Jonah Bossewitch, John Frankfurt, Alexander Sherman, with Robin D.G. Kelley Introduction "We don't stop with asking what a tool does. We ask about what kind of people we become when we use it."1 The capacity for technology to promote certain modes of behavior has long been a topic of interest for social and cultural scholars.2 Software in particular plays an obvious role in influencing creativity and production, as studies on topics ranging from word processing to power point have demonstrated.3 Theorists claim that technology and the media it brokers are "transforming the way we know and think," impacting our cognitive styles much like language itself does.4 In the Information Age, more and more of our inter-personal communications are negotiated through the intermediaries of software. The structure and form of the interactions suggested by these environments are important in understanding their effect on society at large, and especially within an educational setting. Many of the 1 communication challenges encountered which faculty and students encounter in the classroom resemble the communication challenges that are encountered within organizations, between organizations and their constituents, between companies and their customers, or a government and its citizens. In this essay we explore various theoretical, pedagogical, and historical aspects of wikis focusing on three questions as points of departure—"What is a wiki?"; "How do you teach with a wiki?" and finally "What is the point of a wiki?” Our chapter begins by exploring the question “What is a wiki?” Here, we propose a model which locates wikis within the university's pedagogy-technology context and describes their social and other impact.

The name "Wiki" was chosen by Ward Cunningham - - the creator of the first Wiki. It is a shortened form of "wiki- wiki", the Hawaiian word for quick. A wiki is a web site that is generally editable by anyone with a computer, a web browser, and an internet connection. Wikis use a quick and easy syntax to allow users to apply formatting to text and create links between pages. This simple formatting syntax means that authors no longer need to learn the complexities of HTML to create content on the web. The main strength of a wiki is that it gives people the ability to work collaboratively on the same document. The only software you need is an Wiki wiki sign outside Honolulu International Internet browser. Consequently, wikis are used Airport. (Image courtesy of A. Barataz) for a variety of purposes.

  • Wikis As a Cooperation and Communication Platform Within Product Development
    INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON ENGINEERING DESIGN, ICED’07 28 - 31 AUGUST 2007, CITE DES SCIENCES ET DE L'INDUSTRIE, PARIS, FRANCE WIKIS AS A COOPERATION AND COMMUNICATION PLATFORM WITHIN PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT Albert Albers1, Tobias Deigendesch1, Moritz Drammer1, Claudia Ellmer1, Mirko Meboldt1, Christian Sauter1 1Institute of Product Development, Universität Karlsruhe (TH), Germany ABSTRACT Knowledge and information management gains growing importance especially in industrial product development processes. This contribution presents two concepts for structured information storage and access that also can be combined: Wikis and the Continuous Idea Storage. The objectives of Wikis and the application in product development process are discussed. Further on, the approach of the Continuous Idea Storage is introduced. All ideas, no matter if selected for realization or rejected, generated during product development are stored and annotated by additional information, e.g. why the idea was rejected. Finally, the contribution presents the application of both concepts in product development by student project teams in the context of the Karlsruhe education model for product development (KaLeP). Keywords: Wiki, continuous idea storage, information management, knowledge management, collaborative product development, education 1. INTRODUCTION Knowledge management is of increasing importance in today’s information age. Many approaches of computer-aided knowledge management systems, as some databases and expert systems, did not succeed. There is still a great demand for effective knowledge management systems, which meet with specific requirements of product development. Being a novel system, such called Wikis (Wiki = Hawaiian: quick) as open content management systems gained massively in importance during the latest years. Initial concerns that every user can act as an author were not confirmed, instead, many advantages of these systems could be shown.

  • Choosing a Wiki Platform for Student Projects – Lessons Learned Ross A
    Contemporary Issues In Education Research – February 2010 Volume 3, Number 2 Choosing A Wiki Platform For Student Projects – Lessons Learned Ross A. Malaga, Montclair State University, USA ABSTRACT Wikis offer many benefits, such as two-way flows of information, early and consistent feedback, and greater student group collaboration, in an educational setting. Some researchers have already reported on the use of Wikis in their classes. However, instructors must choose an appropriate Wiki platform in order to receive all of the benefits of their use. Failure to do so can lead to significant frustration on the part of both students and the instructor. Using a framework put forth by Schwartz et. al. (2004), this paper reports on the use of various Wiki platforms in an introductory information systems class. Lessons learned from this experience are discussed. INTRODUCTION Wiki is a Web site that allows users to develop documents in a collaborative setting. The most well known Wiki is Wikipedia (www.wikipedia.org) a Web-based encyclopedia that allows anyone to add or edit entries. Researchers have shown that Wikis are useful in the areas of knowledge Amanagement and group collaboration (Wagner 2004, Raman, et. al. 2005). More recent research has begun to explore the potential of using Wikis for educational purposes. Some of the research has focused primarily on explaining the Wiki concept to instructors (Skiba 2005, Bergin 2002). Other researchers (Engstrom & Jewitt 2005, Bergin 2002) have examined the roll of the instructor or instructor developed Wikis. More recently Watson, et. al. (2008) have argued for the use of Wiki technology as part of the “open classroom”.
