Hi ! It is me again ! Today , i am going to blog about my Wiki experience !
Recently , I was assigned to a group of 5 members to do a research on what are the issues mentioned in the the latest Wiki developments. The 5 members that i am working with in this group assignment are Clarence , XIN YING , Illiana , Joleen and myself.
The significant experience for me working in the group is the way how our works are efficiently distributed and completed. In that assignment, we brainstormed all the points that were mentioned and then we eliminated all those quite irrelevant ones. After which , we will distributed to everyone to elaborate and complete it by a certain date. This shows how our works are efficiently distributed and completed. In addition , another significant experience is that the interaction we had. Through the interaction, we sort of get to know and understand each other more.
As an individual contributer , the experience that I've gained is that what I contributed in the Wiki will be a great help to others as it gives them an idea of what can be elaborated and summarized .
The advice that i would give to the next batch of wiki groups as they start a similar project is that they should do a copy on Microsoft Word before contributing it to the Wiki . This is because the work that you do on the wiki may be overwritten by the another person who posted it earlier than you . ( P.S. i really experience it for my individual assignment and as a result , i completed my assignment at 4 am). Another advice is ALWAYS TO START EARLY !
No, i would not use Wiki for research in my own Diplomas because the information contributed by users may not be accurate and opinions are based on different point of views. So it is not useful using Wiki for my research.
