Week 7 #16 - Choosing a wiki

I've been working hard this week evaluating one of the wiki software we downloaded. We've installed it locally for the moment so I can show you all yet. It's called Wikka and I can do the following with it:

1. Hide the registration so that we don't have lots of spammers registering. We'll provide links to a form where people can register to become editors. I'm hoping that with the Learning 2.0 program people will feel confident enough to volunteer to help out.


2. Tinker with the style and layout.
   
   

It has a fairly simple text editor so you don't have to remember all of the complicated tags. You just point and click and the editor inserts the tags for you.

At first I'll transfer content from the existing Online Information and Links section but I'll also be adding some pages where staff can add tutorials for using the library resources e.g. searching for magazine articles, finding a book to read next etc.


Have you got any great ideasfor the Online Information wiki? Why not send me a comment.
