Blogs and Wikis Collaborating using Internet-Ready Tools
Similarities • Writing tools • Multiple users are creators of content • Internet accessible tools • Anywhere, anytime content creation • Customization • Span across multiple classes or years
Differences Blogs Wikis Collaboration Tool/Group Projects Track collaboration according to user Rollback capabilities Add users manually • Web journal • Chronology Based • Comments to content come from other users • Interactive Widgets (e.g. Calendar, Twitter, Flickr, etc…) • LDAP integration
Making the Decision: Blogs vs Wiki or Neither • Why do you want a site outside of the LMS? • Is this a project, course or organizational based site? • Do you want this site to be accessible by everyone? Will there be guest users? What types of guest users will there be? • Do you want to show chronological details? • How long will this site need to be accessed? (For the course, year, etc…) • What type of functionality do you want this site to have? • How do you want the site to look after the content is populated?
