toc =Summary=

In terms of my personal contributions, I created a page on Adaptive Technologies, Human Communication and Speech Chain Model, FedEx (Case Study), and Spam. I also added some content within Bluetooth, RFID, and Virtual Online Communities.

Content:
In the Adaptive Technologies wikispace I provided a definition of what they are and the types available for those with disabilities. The FedEx (Case Study) provides the //corporate history// as well as explains how FedEx is digitally innovative by using different types of technologies. In the Human Communication and Speech Chain Model wikispace, I wrote information on human communication as it is explained through the components of this model by using //E-health// and //Adaptive Technologies// as examples. In the Spam wikispace I provided information on the //types, economic and social costs,// as well as //economic benefits//. I also described the //TCPA Act// and added some information in the //CAN-SPAM Act// section. Lastly, I explained the organization //CAUCE// as well as provided two court cases. In the Bluetooth wikispace I added information on //Invasion of Privacy// and in the RFID wikispace I added an external link to a video clip. Lastly, in the Virtual Online Communities section I added information on the //elements and types of an online community// and also provided a //business example//.

Community Maintenance:

 * Made internal “wikilinks” between my own pages and others.
 * Added external links to video clips to enhance the topics.
 * Added images to create an aesthetically pleasing environment.
 * Added External Links to resourceful web sites.
 * Formatted the Table of Contents.
 * Provided links to Related Articles.
 * Edited my own as well as others work for grammar and spelling errors.
 * Added constructive content to the work of others by providing information that I thought was relevant.

=Reflections and Observations=

At first I was a bit skeptical and unsure about this whole “Wikispace Assignment”. I got a bit thrown off when I added a list of topics and few of those topics were being filled before I had the chance to add in my own content after completing some research. However, after collaborating my information with the work of others I found the experience to be very useful. In fact, I am so “hooked” to the CCIT205 Wikispace that I feel like adding more and more information (but I do not want the professor to go crazy while reading my share of contributions).

=Suggestions=

Reading and writing collaborative information has definitely enhanced my learning experience. Firstly, I would suggest future students to not be skeptical about adding a topic and having it filled by others. In fact, when others start the topic off, you feel more encouraged to add interesting and insightful information. I would recommend future students to take advantage of such an assignment because one is able to achieve at both the individual and team based levels. Teamwork is definitely a task that we as CCIT students encounter and will continue to encounter. Therefore, one should not be skeptical about teamwork but in fact plan on contributing and working with others, as this is a necessary skill that we must adapt for our future careers.
