 * Analysis & Reflection**

__Contributions:__

Wiki is one of the most creative ways I have ever had to implement a project in university. Attending each tutorial helped me in preparing for my wiki assignment, allowing me to lean how to navigate around the wiki space. within the CCT205 wiki space, some of my first contributions my first contributions were adding the news issue, as well as editing or adding more material to existing terms that others had written already. I have read through almost every page that other people created. I have also created “Knowledge leadership to Drive Digital Innovation” on my own. The following is a brief summary of contributions:
 * Aliases [|]
 * Table of Contents [|]
 * [|The news issue]
 * [|Test one feedback]
 * Digital Economy
 * [|Wikis assigement feedback]
 * Digital Innovation
 * Digital Resources and the Law
 * Reference in Digital Information Environment

__Reflections and Observations:__

I have never used this type of collaborative online “Wikispace” website and was unsure that I would adjust easily to the uses of it. As the assignment was on the go, when I decided to go online and register, I felt that the wiki idea was a great collaborative tool that helped me in studying for search information, I was able to apply my knowledge of certain terms and put them up for others to either agree with, or learn from, or to edit and elaborate on. The wikispace website as a whole was extremely user friendly and did not require extensive measures for one to get use to the tools offered. I found the process of making your own space, editing others spaces and adding additional content allowed users to learn how to communicate in an organized online community very effectively. Wikis allows some students that would not necessarily speak up during class discussions, to have a voice, state their opinions and share course related knowledge. we were allowed to do this without feeling apprehensive of how our opinions will be evaluated in front of the entire lecture. Wiki also encourages students to build a knowledge community and express their thoughts about current lecture related topics from which other students can benefit greatly. However, I did find a few unappealing aspects about this online collaborative project that I did notice along the way.

__Suggestions:__

In fact, this assignment was good, but I feel that I have learned many things with the wiki tool, but not as much as I could have learned. I did not have the chance to read through each topic, because every day, every minute they are always updated, it is hard to stay on track with the consistent collaborations happening all of the time. I hope Wiki could be integrated in every course. It is a really good extension of what we learn in lectures and readings, and allows us as a class to collaborate information we have gathered from lectures and research we have conducted for each specific topic.
