23. Using Wiki Pages as a Discussion Board It’s important to use the right tool for the right purpose! Unfortunately both Tierney and Sarah have used wiki pages as an area for members to introduce themselves, and both have turned into the format of a discussion board. A wiki page should be one document of text and or images etc which is edited by others. Comments are useful for wiki pages, for example to say ‘I think this document is now complete, I like it very much’ ‘I have changed the second paragraph because it did not make sense’ ‘I would like to add a picture to describe the process, does anybody have one?’ Etc.
