Example Wiki Assignments Working with your fellow group members (via this Wiki), complete the following assignments: 1.Select a topic that is related to Instructional Technology for the group Wiki . 2.Next, begin to review literature and online resources for information regarding your topic. Post the information, documents, photos and other digital files at will for your group to evaluate, comment on and edit until the final due date posted on the course syllabus. 3.In structuring the group’s Wiki site, be sure to begin with a "Home" page (similar to a web site) . This will serve as a "directory" to the supporting pages that each member will build and contribute to. 4.All group members must edit and contribute to each group members' pages -- so be "very active" in the development of the Wiki site over the next few weeks. 5.Allow your creative juices to flow!! Be as "creative" and/or "detailed" as you choose (remember, your group members can edit anything you post) -- that is the beautiful thing about a Wiki -- all members can view, edit and contribute at will. 6.Evaluation: See the Wiki Rubric posted within the Intro Module.
Note: Only the group members and the instructor have access to your Wiki site 24
