Working together using this wiki
PB WIKI Message: Think of this wiki as a shared online whiteboard. Your entire group can share information using this wiki, making your research accessible to everyone. Play around with this wiki: Notice how you can add comments to a page, see what people have changed, and edit all the text.
Roberta's Message: After playing with this just for a bit, it seems the way to go is to create new pages for informaiton we want to share and work on collaborative, e.g. see what I've done with the workplan. When it comes to documents that we just want to share, then it seems that they go in the Files page...seems obvious, but I'm thinking that "resource" docs, e.g. the discussion board posting documents could go in to the files, becuase they would be pretty unwieldly as wiki pages. This probably would have been better as a comment....Good luck and let me know what you think of our wiki. I have to say it is pretty easy...the fact that I figured it out is a sure testamony to it!

Lit Review SourcesWe can build a central source list in the Wiki instead of creating several documents and emailing them back and forth. We can modify the Source table below so that we can put our APA info directly in. I've inserted your online resources directly here, but created a separate page for the excerpt from A Classroom of One.

Meetings
We can schedule meetings here...
Project Management and Process Documents
Here, we can put the documents we use to manage the project and guide how we are doing the work. I've created a link to the project plan which I have uploaded to the Files page. ..or at least I thought I could. Until I figure this part out, go to File to open the project plan.
Literature Review
Here, we can put links to our final list, and the guidelines / framework for our review.
What search parameters should we use to guide our search for relevant sources? (put your ideas here)
Initial Literature Review Findings:
I actually made a few comments in there today myself, and the new document is now loaded. (Van Eck)
Research Criteria Notes- Broad Ideas from and comments on the readings
Literature Review Deliverables:
we need a comprehensive review source list document we need a finalized review source list document
• This looks like a good start. Here are some next steps and ideas. Re-read the Lapadat document with the comments I made in it--there is more complexity there than is reflected here (which is desirable), but we need to be clear about why we look at some factors and not others. In particular, I think we can expand the expertise measures to include types of contributions that are not reflected here (See my comments in Lapadat). Also, I think we should collect some quantitative measures as well, such as length of post, number of posts, # of references to other ideas/readings, etc. Then, before we collect the actual data, we should all have a go at the SAME transcript, write in our codes in the margins for each thing we are looking for, and then compare our results. Where there are differences (and there will be), we need to negotiate and discuss so that we all mark things the same way. This establishes what is called interrater reliability, which is important in this research.
Discussion Posts
Originally, I was thinking we could link to pages of the discussion post files, but I think they be too big. For the time being, I have uploaded the document containing Week 1, Chapters 1-3 in the Files section. !Research
Here, we can put our findings as we go through the posts. We could put the template spread sheet here and then put and keep each of our working documents up too. This way, we can all see each other's documents/ findings.
Beyond Boundaries Presentation
Here, we can jointly create the content outline, and the person putting the PPT together can put it here or create another page, that people can edit directly.

I've suggested one organization for the Wiki, but I have pretty limited experience with them. We could also create separate pages for each work area in the project, eg. one page for the lit review, one for the actual research, etc. Mostly, right now I'm just trying out the comment feature...
