Wikis B
Much like the first word processors were build around the notion of a piece of paper as the creative canvas that you would save as "files" in "folders" on your computer (in order to ease the mental transition to computing), the wiki is a creative canvas built around the notion of a network: distributed access, global publishing, and integrated online syndication (via RSS). This shift has ignited more fluid collaboration that is simple to establish and sustain, fostering the rise of countless communities to create, curate and moderate their own wiki sites.
This module looks at how wikis have been used behind the corporate firewall and an example of bad corporate interference with wikipedia.
