Reflections
- my page suddenly disappeared and i have to recreate it again.


 * __Question #1.__** __When first encountering wiki at the beginning of the course.__
 * a**. What do you think/feel about this collaborative learning environment?
 * b.** What are your expectations for yourself ?
 * c.** If you have previously used wiki in another course, then describe what you have previously learned and how you want expand your understanding.
 * d.** What can you contribute as an experienced participant?


 * a.** I think wiki is an excellent collaborative learning environment as every member can contribute or share their ideas through this environment. The editing functions of wiki allow members to edit or correct other’s posting and provide a good opportunity for members to learn and understand from each other. One disadvantage about wiki is the text editing tool is poorly designed. For example, if you try to bold a letter, the bold function never response. You have to click it a thousand times until it works.
 * b.** My expectations are to get familiar with wiki first (e.g. creating table of contents) since this is my first time using it. After I get used to the functions of wiki, I expect myself to contribute as much as possible to this community by creating nice web pages and other interesting contents.
 * c/d.** I have never used wiki before and this is the first time for me to experience the functions of wiki and how it works as a community. (i'm experiencing and practicing wiki for ccit333 as well)

__**Question #2.** Think about the following and answer to the best of your ability:__
 * a.**How do you choose which postings to contribute or change?
 * b.**What are your thoughts on adding, editing or re-arranging other people's work?
 * c.**Do you regularly check your own postings for alterations? Has anyone changed your work and how have you felt about it?


 * a.** When I'm browsing through the ccit 300 wiki page, I usually choose pages that are disorganized or lack of contents to contribute to. Before editing a page, I will check it several times first in order to make sure the author has finished editing his/her page without overwriting their postings (since wiki doesn't allow two people editing a page at the same time)
 * b.** Editing other people's work will allow us to share our opinions together and provide an excellent opportunity for us to learn from each other's mistakes.
 * c.** I usually check my postings five times a week to see if there's any alterations made by other students. Till now, nobody has changed my works yet and i'm looking forward to hear what other suggestions will be provided.

__**Question #3**. As a final reflection on your experience with the CCT333 wiki, look back and read your first entry.__
 * a.**Have your views changed in regards to collaborative learning while participating in this wiki?
 * b.**Are there any ideas, suggestions or comments you could share for possible improvements?
 * c.**Things you thought were most productive or helpful about using wiki?


 * a.** My views definitely changed in regards to collaborative learning because I thought it was not that useful at first. I thought ideas will become very vague because they are lots of people sharing their ideas at one time. But after participating in wiki throughout this semester, I can't believe collaborative learning can be that effective because people sharing their ideas can actually helps to enhance our learning process instead of making our ideas vague. Moreover, if I have a question that can never solved it by myself, I can get it done through collaborative learning because ideas provided by others can definitely helps to clear my confusions.


 * b.** If there's one thing that needed to be improved for wiki is definitely the word editing box. I think its editing box is very annoying because every time when I try to bold a sentence, the bolded sentence will automatically switched back to normal after I've saved my editing. Moreover, when I tried to underline a sentence, the editing boxes will not response to my command as well. If these annoying problems can be corrected, wiki will be a perfect place for collaborative learning.


 * c.** One of the most productive things about wiki is it allows students to edit other people's work/posting. This provides an excellent chance for students to share their opinions together and enhance the qualities of their work/posting. Moreover, students can learn form each other's mistakes by correcting or editing a certain post. Secondly, wiki allows student to post whatever they like. For example, if a student posted a business web site on the wiki homepage, this can help to provide business news to other students and keep them up to date on knowing what is happening around the business market.
