At the Engage Your Community mini-conference on Tuesday 22 April, Kirikiriroa Hamilton, I ran a workshop on using wikispaces to support a project. This was based on my experience using wikispaces to support the CIMS Project governance group and team.
The main learning goals for participants were:
- finding out how a wiki works, ie anyone can edit, track changes and/ or discuss pages
- matching a wiki to your organisation or project.
Here’s the presentation I made, publicly available on slideshare.
