NOT ALL WIKIS ARE ENCYCLOPEDIAS:
Other Types of Wikis and How Your Company Could Use One
Speaker: Leslie O'Flahavan, Partner, E-WRITE
Most Web users are familiar with Wikipedia, the free content encyclopedia.
But encyclopedia is just one of many types of wikis. Large and small
businesses, government agencies, and nonprofit organizations have
developed all kinds of wikis, and they use wikis to enable collaboration
among far-flung teams, manage meetings, and develop presentations. Some
have even replaced dead-end intranets with thriving wikis. During this
event, well review various types of wikis and discuss how a wiki might
help your organization solve a communication problem.
Youll learn
o What a wiki is and how they work
o How to identify different types of wikis
o Why wikis are such a popular way to publish content online
o How a wiki could help your organization
o How to recognize potential liabilities for wiki publishers
