 * Using Wikispaces**

I found that Wikispaces gave me the opportunity to collaborate with class members and provide students with a wide range of information. It was interesting to see how information grew in a couple of weeks and how students collaborated together to build a online community, which provided us with scholarly journals. This assignment gave all students the experience to assist students to contribute to peer reviewing and editing. By integrating various types of content in forms of entries, articles, pictures and diagrams, it required students to organize and design the space. Wikispaces is extremely easy to use, with helpful navigation, short-cut keys and the overall formatting of the page. I found the test study summaries of chapters and readings were extremely valuable as it made studying more accessible and instructive. Lastly, I think Wikispace gave students the responsibility to collaborating together to put together relevant and informative information. With the convenience of access at our homes and the collaborative power of wiki, allowed students to create and integrate content with a wide range of possibilities.


 * Contributions**

In this Wikispace, my 2-3 pages of content was mainly by adding 3 page posts (Corporate Blogging Strategies and Digital Rights Management), I also spent a large amount of time editing and contributing to other entries · adding to ‘Virtual Reality’ and adding picture and internal links · adding section to ‘ICT’ adding an entry on ICT’s on distant learning · adding ‘Corporate Blogging Strategies’ page/post · adding to Surveillance and writing a section on workplace surveillance & adding internal link · adding feedback and my opinion on ‘test 1 feedback’ · adding and editing ‘Online Gaming’ section · adding ‘Digital Rights Management’ page/post to enrich learning environment · adding spam article to ‘Current Issues in the News’ adding external link · adding section to ‘Digital Photography’ 2 pages on false perceptions with the use of digital photography and added 3 significant pictures that complement the content. · adding section to ‘Wiki assignment feedback’, my opinion.


 * Future Ideas**

My advice for future students working on this beneficial online community would be to take advantage of this collaborative work and try to get as involved as possible. This opportunity can give students the ability to filter out //thoughtless// information from relevant information.
