In my opinion, the idea of having to include ‘wikispaces’ as part of our course content was certainly an exceptional one. It provided us with an opportunity of not only to post information about topics that were of interest to us personally but it also gave us a chance to share our ideas as a class and add on to the work of others by either editing or expressing our own opinions.

My main contributions to the wikispace were the three pages that I made originally. My first page was on ‘eBay’ where I provided some information about its historical background and the discussed the advantages and disadvantages of doing business through the website. To my surprise many people showed interest in the topic and added some other great information. In my second page, I posted information about the advantages of digital transmission. I thought of this topic as important and useful since we are so heavily exposed by digital transmission in our daily lives. My third attempt at wikispaces was a reflection on something that we had discussed in class in great depth, “Effects of ICT’s”. However, in order to provide additional information to other students and on the topic I focused my discussion on mainly the effects that ICT’s have had or may have on the economy as a whole. Also, I added on to the work of others on pages that discussed wikis and the theories of media influence.
 * SUMMARY OF MY CONTRIBUTIONS:**

Despite the fact that I had found some great information on Wikipedia while conducting research on various topics, this assignment gave me my first hands on experience with actually editing and adding on information on a wiki. It was evident by the level of participation that most students enjoyed and were devoted towards making valuable contributions to the wikispace. Personally, I found it disturbing at times when others would edit or just delete my work, as it would make it seem to be worthless. Conversely, it was on this coursework that I found meaningful information on various topics that I was completely unaware of thus this assignment proved that the use of wiki spaces could certainly be useful and informative for people from all over the world.
