In December 2005 the Web Development team at the University of Bath set up a departmental
wiki where they could keep track of information. This workshop explains the reasons for
using a wiki, not just for education but for codifying knowledge and working practices in
departments and how they can best be utilised so that it is used by everyone in the
department, and how to stop it becoming an unmaintained silo of archaic data.
Learning Objectives:
By the end of the session participants will:
Understand what a wiki is
Be familiar with how a wiki works
Understand how wikis can be extended to meet custom requirements
know how to integrate wikis with their standard working practices
