36. What is a wiki? Awiki is a web site that includes web pages containing content. Wiki pages are created using a collaborative software program then published to the web. In other words, a wiki is a web-publishing tool. Wiki software is designed for collaborative web site creation. A wiki is a website that includes the collaboration of work from many different authors. Software developer Ward Cunningham used the name ‘wiki’, a Hawaiian term for ‘quick’ or ‘fast’.

44. PBWorks’ Settings Managing Wiki Access Manage Site on Google Sites Who must have access? What level of access? Is the site public, or does the site require a login to view any page or content?
45. Academic applications for a Wiki Course website Description and ‘need to know’ info Resources for learning Assignment delivery Due dates, timelines, task lists Interactive surveys, forms, calendars File storage Project website Description and ‘need to know’ info Resources for research Project team profiles, roles, and responsibilities Due dates, timelines, task lists Collaborative writing File storage

47. Use a wiki for collaborative writing Instead of circulating documents to a group of people via email, create wiki pages that can be edited and published easily allowing everyone on your team to see the most up to date information! Stop searching for that email with an important attachment, unsure if it is even relevant anymore. Find the latest info on your team wiki! KNOW when it was last updated and by whom.

To give bloggers (especially anonymous ones) a clear set of guidelines they can show employers, patients, or other concerned parties as to the nature of the blogging.Since healthcare blogging is sometimes dealing with extremely sensitive information, it is extremely important that these blogs maintain the highest of integrity.”-Blogs apply and are reviewed. Approved blogs may use “button” on site.

The original wiki software was created by Ward Cunningham (1994). The most popular wiki in the world is Wikipedia, launched in 2001 as ‘Nupedia’. The founders decided it would be beneficial to refer to the wiki software with which it was build, to highlight the collaborative nature of the project, and renamed it Wikipedia (wiki + encyclopedia).Visit Wikipedia’s FAQ page for interesting facts about the world’s greatest wiki.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:FAQ_Index
A wiki site allows anyone to edit, delete, or modify the content on the web. A wiki administrator can make a wiki public for anyone to view, or private for select members to view.Member access can be limited, generally speaking, to read-only or read/write. Depending on the wiki software used, additional levels of rights may be assigned to members.Admins always have the ability to review changes made by members, and compare versions, and revert to earlier versions.
This wiki, for a clerkship program, is built using PBWorks (pbworks.com) wiki software, and hosted on PBWorks’ server.The layout and design shown is standard for wikis built using PBWorks: the content is on the left and the navigation and admin tools are on the top and on the right.Notice that the page includes text, images, lists, and links.Notice basic tools available around the page: Create page (icon and text, at the top right) Edit page (tab, on the top left) Recent activity (widget box, right) Control access (control box, top right) Control settings (top, tab)
This wiki, for a clerkship program, is built using Google Sites wiki software (sites.google.com), and hosted on Google’s server.The layout and design shown is standard for wikis built using Google Sites: the content is on the right and the navigation and admin tools are on the top and on the left.Notice that the page includes text, images, lists, and links.Notice basic tools available around the page: Create page (button, at the top right) Edit page (button, on the top right) Recent activity (link, left) Control access (unseen; viathe ‘More actions’ button, top right) Control settings (unseen; via the ‘More actions’ button, top right)
On this page, in PBWorks, a video can be embedded and played within the wiki page.Also notice the option to add a COMMENT to the page, at the bottom.
On this page, in Google Sites, a video can be embedded and played within the wiki page.Also notice the option to add a COMMENT to the page, at the bottom.
View ‘Change History’ easily to see what members have edited, added, created.These screen shots are from a PBWorks wiki.
Review web site ‘history’ on the website level or on the page level. Notice the ‘Revert to this version’ option on the page level.These screen shots are from a Google Sites wiki.
Managing access to your site involves important decision making.Who MUST HAVE ACCESS? What level of access?Who needs to be able to write new content and edit existing content?Do some people need read-only access?Is the site public, or does the site require a login to view any page or content?
A wiki may not be the solution for every need. However it may be a solution for specific problems such as access for program or project team members outside of the institution. For example, a course, such as a clerkship, where students and administrative staff are scattered at sites and clinics in a wide area. Or a research project that includes collaborators from other institutions or perhaps other countries.
Wikis can be created, used and closed reflecting the lifespan of any project.Accessibility can be restricted to specific people. And those people can be granted certain privelges, or not.Most importantly, track changes in a more dignified manner than traditional document editing software.Photo: Microsoft Office Clip Art

Podcasting has become extremely widespread over the past several years. It has made incredible gains in use in virtually every age group.“By 2010 podcast audience growth is expected to reach a conservative 45 million users who will have ever listened to a podcast. Aggressive estimates place this number closer to 75 million by this date.” —Bridge Ratings The Podcasting Outlook. Bridge Ratings. 12 Nov 2005.
Here is a screenshot of the popular iTunes application (Mac, Windows, Linux; free) and its podcast directory built into the iTunes Store. There are podcasts on virtually any topic imaginable. This is the front page for podcasts in the medical genre. The vast majority of podcasts are free to listeners. Using iTunes, you can download podcast episodes and subscribe to entire podcasts, which allows for automatic notification when new episodes are made available.
Many clinical practice and basic science research journals produce podcasts as complements to their printed counterparts. Using podcasts, they can elaborate on information found in articles, interview authors, and talk about late-breaking news. Some, like the one from Johns Hopkins, are entirely devoted to discussing interesting medical news recently in the literature across all journals.
Many are produced independently and focus on some theme, usually medical education of medical students, residents, and practicing physicians. On the bottom row are shows dedicated to pre-medical and current medical students, and these are frequently produced by individual institutions or associations, such as the AAMC.
One interesting use of podcasting was by the University of Alabama’s Undergraduate Admissions Office, who produced video podcasts of current students giving virtual guided tours of the campus—one stop or landmark per episode. Visitors to the campus can download these episodes before their visit, pull out their iPods upon arriving, and give themselves a tour of the campus at their own pace.
Other groups have started to use podcasting for bona fide teaching across the undergraduate, graduate, and continuing medical education communities.
Screenshot of the Apple Garageband audio editing application (Mac only; free). A popular alternative for Windows is Audacity, also free. There is a visual timeline editor at the top, chapter markers and artwork areas at the bottom, and an area to annotate the episode’s contents to the right.
Screenshot of the back end of the popular Wordpress blogging platform, which many podcasters use to publish their audio files and episode information.
