We can have our own Wiki

It would seem possible that we can create our own wiki. Clicking this post's title takes you out to the MediaWiki site for info on how to get a wiki. Worth checking is the sourceforge link at the bottom of the page, where you're able to download the software.

Here's how it might be used:
  • for graduate students to learn about web 2.0, open source and the implication of these on formal learning - and consequently, on their practice as knowledge managers/co-creators/workers/teachers & trainers
  • with wikipedia entries, as a peer-assessment tool, measured in some sort of 'use-value' unit (?)
  • for educational programmes (informal, of course:) on the philosophy of education - notably, when addressing the thorny epistemological topic of truth claims and the need to establish criteria by which knowledge(s) is validated
  • for deliberately de-centering the diadic teacher-student relationship on those educational endeavours grounded in 'the job as cirricula' ethos
  • as experimental re-search into issues of intellectual property rights of academic knowledge

...commenting on my own posts: great! I am the uber nerd.

I came across this blog which connects libraries: called, "web 2.0, library 2.0 and librarian 2.0" is gives a folksey illustration of how the web 2.0 concept applies in the library world.
