My AR project this month is finally starting to become solid. With a short break from school I was able to research available wiki tools that are out there and decide on one to implement. I have started adding to a clearwiki site and invited my co-worker to join, view, and add as needed. It seems everyday a policy or procedure in my workplace is questioned or changed and I am hoping that this wiki will allow my department to collaborate and stay on top of the latest changes.
I have set up to have an email sent to me anytime a comment or topic is added to our Wiki. We are currently still in the phase of feeling it out and it will take some time to get all involved to start using exclusively but I will get there and be able to track any changes via email so new additions can be discussed at weekly meetings.
The process of finding a wiki to use was a bit trying since many either charge after a short trial period or are not completely secure. I had to do a lot of research and now have a lot of lingering inquiries from tools that are still trying to get my business. Free wikis are out there with some restrictions but in the business I am in it was very important to find one that would be secure and only viewable to the assigned Administrators.
This months course will shape my AR project in coming months as my Wiki grows. I am happy to learn how to design a lesson that perhaps I can present to management once my hard work pays off and is successful.
