Gave an example of faculty handbook created with wiki (using MediaWiki). Important to teach students collaborative skills to prepare for work. Teams are goal-directed. Wikis as classic example of collaborative tool. Wikis make it very clear who did what–always a problem with group work for grading.
Intelpedia is hosted on the open source MediaWiki software. Intelpedia is a project set up by an Intel engineer Josh Bancroft in November 2005, when he decided that his co-workers should have quick and easy access to a raft of company information, from internal projects to historical background.
No LMS on the market contains blog and wiki features that can compete feature-by-feature against popular products such as WordPress and Mediawiki. So it makes much more sense to link to, or embed within a course, external blog and wiki content instead of demanding that blogs and wikis be part of the LMS feature set.
If I want a great wiki platform, I’m going to download MediaWiki or DokuWiki (also free and they have huge support communities). I don’t really understand why LMS vendors are now thinking they need to build in every possible 2.0 If I want a great blogging platform, I’m going to download WordPress (it’s free and has a huge support community).
It gives some interesting indications: Number of evaluations by eLearningGuild Members of the use of the types of tools: Courseware authoring tools - 4,000 Rapid eLearning authoring tools - 3,000 MediaWiki - 40 users This analysis is very crude as compared to the rich data. For example, I've not included use of software simulation tools, etc.

For example, Intelpedia was set up using the open source MediaWiki software that is used to power Wikipedia itself. But there are now many standalone wiki tools available as well wiki functionality within collaboration plaftorms.

We installed MediaWiki on our local server a couple of weeks ago and Ive been using it to record everything I can for my e-Learning strategy project. Cammy Beans Learning Visions Musings on eLearning, instructional design and other training stuff. Friday, July 06, 2007 I Heart My Wiki I have finally thrown myself into the wiki waters.
Install behind firewall – One of our tech support guys has experience with PHP and MediaWiki in particular so I am hoping to leverage his experience and install MediaWiki behind the firewall. Plus it would be nice to have some more robust options.
7) MediaWiki Wiki love. But I like to use it as a simple wireframe tool. I cant program to save my life, but I can create a course flow mockup using PowerPoint that gets my ideas across to those who can make it look really good. And Ive only been using it for my own project documentation. Havent even gotten into the collaborative aspect.
Well, with the help of many of you and a MediaWiki workspace, we have developed that curriculum and, based on this, I have now gone on to create a script for the first deliverable implementation of the 30-minute masters. Although I have taken the lead on the script - and someone clearly had to - this is still a collaborative process.
The biggest challenge I set myself was to demonstrate features of Firefox, OpenOffice, Moodle, MediaWiki, Gimp, Audacity, eXe, FreeMind and Wink, some of which I had only recently downloaded. I probably screwed them up psychologically with this exercise but the results were interesting.
I can also view revisions and compare much like in mediawiki. The interface is simple and clean. I can invite others to collaborate on a doc. I can publish to the public as a writely document or to a blog. This is going to change many things for me.
I figure between ELGG, mediawiki, MOODLE, Secondlife, and now Elluminate, we can get some serious educating done on the cheap. As a father of 3 kids, all in school, this does not surprise me. They have my kids for six hours a day and can't seem to teach them anything.whats up with that? Anyone interested in starting a virtual school?
If you’re looking for a completely free and open source Wiki for a large installation, check out MediaWiki , which is the downloadable software that supports Wikipedia. And if you’re willing to do some comparison shopping, see the amazing WikiMatrix to compare a long list of Wikis.
This is the marriage of Elgg, Drupal, Moodle, and Mediawiki. Like I said a few posts back, we are at our worst when we try to create our own learning system thingy. However, OpenAcademic is not about an enterprise vendor riding the latest trend.
Example: Elgg and Mediawiki are NOT part of Fantastico, but they had BOTH environments installed and ready for me in less than 12hours. I would highly recommend siteground for many reasons but above and beyond them all is the fact that their customer service is AWESOME!!!
Rather than developing a standard technical manual with detailed instructions I have created a Wiki using MediaWiki. The ILT classes will conclude by introducing the learners to a job aid in the form of a Wiki. The Wiki is packed with step by step instructions covering everything in the system.
MediaWiki ), micro-blogging platforms (ex. This is very much in line with the theory of informal learning and social learning. Some of the more common tools related to Enterprise 2.0 are blogs (ex. WordPress ), wikis (ex. Yammer or Present.ly ), social bookmarking sites (ex. Scuttle ), and even in-house social networks, similar to Facebook.
I believe MediaWiki is the single greatest learning tool you could implement in your organization. With the release of Google Gears MediaWiki (and ALL wikis for that matter) become infinitly more powerful once they re-code to take advantage of the offline capabilities of Google Gears. Its editable, linkable, taggable, and social.
Its a GREAT case study in implementing a wiki using MediaWiki. I have a special interest in hearing my old Intel colleague Josh Bancroft talk about his experience implementing the internal corporate wiki that is known as Intelpedia. His session is at 8:30am Friday. Powered by ScribeFire.
Some items of interested that were discussed today: Tiddlywiki Mediawiki OpenWiki The Heavy Metal Umlat video by John Udell List of opensource wiki engines Some interesting points for me were that there are some IT departments that DON'T know what wikis are. For those of you that missed it, I will be doing it again tomorrow afternoon.
With that I get a magical installation of just about any cool open source development app I want: Moodle , Wordpress , Drupal , Mambo, Mediawiki , and many more. I have an internet service provider that charges me $4.99
Collaborative editing was required so an ‘institution free’ wiki – MediaWiki – was selected. Making two different semester structures coincide between the Spanish and Australian universities, assimilating the culture of the other university and overcoming lack of funding were all issues addressed.
Wikipedia that actually looks like Wikipedia – 100%, they use mediawiki kit – available for free. Incorporate the WordPress blog, so learners can write posts on the blog, and then externally it is seen on the WordPress blog – complete open environment. Ratings on other content in the system and comments from learners.
If I want a great wiki platform, I’m going to download MediaWiki or DokuWiki (also free and they have huge support communities). If I want a great blogging platform, I’m going to download WordPress (it’s free and has a huge support community).
In an effort to provide a continuous learning experience I implemented a Wiki using MediaWiki. The learners completed a series of eLearning tutorials and a day long instructor led training class but that was not enough to help learners retain the knowledge needed to use the software fluently.
MediaWiki API. Uh, forget that. You can find an e-commerce API, plus APIs for a shopping cart. Want to accept PayPal? Facebook like features? Wikipedia capabilities? Mashups Possibilities.
Specifically, we are using WordPress , MediaWiki , and Scuttle. I may try to make it to DevLearn later in the year depending on how things go. Use free / open-source tools. Our team is doing more with free tools and open-source systems. Take a look at Jane Hart’s Directory of Learning Tools if you’re not sure where to start.
I actually refocused on hosted solutions because the notion of installing MediaWiki behind the firewall was shot out of the water at first. He was persistent enough to find a solution that all parties are happy with and MediaWiki is now installed behind the firewall.
When a vendor decided to add mediawiki to their LMS, so it looks exactly like Wikipedia, while everyone else uses some funky looking wiki.what happened? When everyone wasn’t offering ad-hoc reporting, someone said.we and it worked. what happened?
If RMC were to host a wiki, wiki software could be chosen that would be firewall-friendly, such as MediaWiki. Talk to me about the CDA wiki option - we have an instance of mediawiki that works on both DWAN and WWW. At this time, no known hosted free wiki services can cross the PWGSC DWAN firewall.
