Analysis & Reflection

 * 1) CCT300 provided me with my 3rd wiki experience within a span of barely a year. Having done wiki for CCT205 provided me with a new learning experience. Having being one of the first group of people to use wikispaces as a learning experience in CCIT, it provided me with a radical way of learning that I've never experienced before. Studying in groups has always been a norm for me especially in the university setting. Having a group of over 100 people studying together for a test however is an unforgettable experience. It simply amazed me to see how everyone came together to help each other out even though each of us were busy with our own courses and lives. Wiki provided us with a way to communicate together and bring a sense of being in a group that I have never experienced before. Personally, I would not be one to approach someone in class but through wiki, I feel like I know everyone in class personally. For this wiki, I believe that my contributions will increase from the previous wikis that I've done and I believe that through this assignment, I will be able to expand my learning experience further.
 * 2) In order to decide on postings that I would contribute, I would normally look through the current table of contents to see the current contents. If there is a topic that interests me, I would usually browse through the topic and will then decide if there is anything relavant that I might want to add to the current topic. As of now, the topics that I could not find anything to add to the current topics. Therefore, I've decided to start a topic of my own. I noticed that some students wrote on different authors and that gave me an idea to write on Dale Brown, an author whose books I find are really interesting. As this is not the first wikispaces assignment I've done, I feel that adding, editing or re-arranging other people's work is part of the community building project. I feel that by doing these actions, we will all benefit whether it's from learning new information, better grammar or simply making the information clearer and less cluttered. As a result of this, I do check my own postings regularly for alterations. When I see that there are no alterations, I feel that I've done a good job on the postings but when there are alterations, I would normally look through it and try to figure out the things that I might have missed or did wrongly. It is a good learning process that I appreciate. Constructive editing is always good a welcomed feedback in my postings.
 * 3) Using the wikispace as a course learning tool truly has been an eye opening experience. Although this wasn't my first time using it for a course, each experience was individually unique. Throughout the course of the semester, I've edited and added content to new and current topics of interest within the wikispace. This has been a good experience for me. However, a few complications were encountered during these sessions. I found that the lack of a spell check or grammar check option within the editing page disheartening. Having such a function would have reduced the number of edits required and would have contributed towards a better wikispace. One other idea that popped into mind would be the idea of having a build in function within wikispaces that has functions such as those in [|www.turnitin.com]. My idea is that, every page that is edited will be checked by that function maybe once a week to check for plagiarism. Although this idea might seem absurd as to the number of edits done daily are enormous. I believe that it can be implemented if done correctly. Another aspect of the wiki that I found a little negative was the way certain people were leaving comments after editing a page. I always believed that constructive critisism is always better than leaving a negative feedback. Although no negative comments have been left for me, I do feel that it would have been better if everyone "behave" and not critisize other people's work. As a whole, I feel that this wikispace looks and feels a lot better than those that I had previously joined during past semester. Each wiki is unique and that itself makes the entire experience worthwhile.
