MIS+Final.+What+is+a+wiki?

What is a wiki? This is a wiki! A wiki is a collaborative tool used to communicate with a group of people. It doesn't matter how large or small the group is. Any person is able to post information on a wiki. Wikis can be editted by others so that information can be changed. However, there will be notifications that show the person who has changed the information, and what information has changed. This way people are able to correct misinformation by the original poster, but people are able to see if the changes made are accurate. A wiki could be used by a professor effectively in the classroom in many different ways. One way which I think would be most effective would be with answers to homework questions that people are having trouble with. People would be able to post what there answer is and their peers or even teachers could help correct their answers. Also, wikis allow for papers to be editted by peers or teachers without even being near eachother. This could work for peer to peer editting and could actually be very useful for things like the writing center. Assignments for classes could even be posted and if someone posts the wrong assignment it could be corrected. The only problem is that people could change correct information to make it inaccurate. However, let's hope that there would be someone out there who would change it back for the sake of the group.

If any of this is wrong feel free to edit it!
