=About the ITGS Wiki=

=An approach to collaborative learning with ITGS=

The aim of the ITGS wiki is to work collaboratively and create a knowledge base for the ITGS curriculum.The essence of a wiki is that all members are created equal therefore we can all contribute and edit each others contributions.

The following are wiki requirements for your assessment this year:
 * Each student is to make two edits to the ITGS wiki per week.
 * These are classified as a **Significant Contribution** and a **Constructive Modification**

- Youcomplete a page that details a particular key term or topic of the course - OR You include an original multimedia item (podcast, video) that adds an extradimension to the original page
 * Significant Contribution** means ...

- You editsomeone else's work, not your own - OR You might correct a significant error or several small errors - OR Maybe you want to reorganize a page or the navigation from the home page -OR Maybe you want to edit someone else's entry, not for content, but for the way it'swritten such as by adding some meaningful colour or graphics
 * Constructive Modification** means ...

The contributions will be assessed each week accordingto a 4-point rubric (0-3) - Is the work accurate? - Have relevant sources been included and acknowledged, including the use of hyperlinks? (Do not plagiarize anything! Acknowledge ALL non-original material) - The overall quality of the presentation: How does it look? Are headings clear? Is the use of multimedia (image size, access to podcasts and videos) appropriate? Are hyperlinks working? Is it clear to read and understand?
