Discussion Group B5 (Afternoon): Power Users Supporting Wiki Strategies
Issues
Based on your previous discussion and related points from the other discussion
groups you should now seek to identify a Wiki strategy for your institution.
Possible strategies for providing Wiki services include:
- A large-scale enterprise Wiki service for use within your institution.
- A distributed and decentralised approach, in which departments,
ad hoc groups, individuals, etc. may choose their own preferred Wiki tools,
which could be installed locally or use of free or licensed externally-hosted services.
- Use of Wiki functionality provided in other enterprise tools,
such as VLEs, Blogs, etc.
- In-house development of a Wiki service.
- Doing nothing, either because effort is limited and prioritisation
is given to other areas or a view that Wikis are of marginal relevance to the institution.
Please address the following issues:
- What is the power Wiki users' views on these approaches?
- What are your preferred approaches?
Based on your preferred approaches to the provision of a Wiki service:
- How can power Wiki users best help to support your preferred approaches?
- How can power Wiki users best help to support the other approaches?
- How can power Wiki users best help to support the needs of their institution?
- How can power Wiki users best help to support the needs of the wider community?
