Wiki Updates

The wiki has been going well, some pages better than others. I wouldn't do this if it were the only source for the information, as some students have done a better job than others.

The one really neat thing about it, is that any terms that are defined in brackets by the wiki, for example [CPU], are then auto linked from anywhere in the class site. Any notes, assignments or anything all are context highlighted and linked to the wiki page on it. Pretty cool!

Back from Break

It was a great break, full of interesting things!

I had my students begin working today on a Wiki study guide for their 1st semester final. The project appears to be a pretty big success.

Moodle has (Of course) a built in Wiki engine, which is REALLY easy.

Any time you enclose a statement in brackets [like this] it creates a page for whatever it is. They are dropped into a "Wanted page" section, where you (or someone else) can fill it in later.
