Hinweis der Redaktion
- Wiki-wiki means fast or quick in Hawaiian
- 2 minutes Internet was/is often treated like a book Once upon a time books were strange and new Focus on showing how new ways enhance ‘traditional ones’ Until recently people have used the internet as a text dump. The difference is today… the internet is books on steroids Multiple people can contribute to developing content People all over the world can contribute and quickly People can share and contribute to the development of media other than print (videos, books, apps, etc.) Web 2.0 and new web use for storing content is probably just as foreign to some folks as books were to people who were used to a rich oral tradition. Younger… generations and people who have a greater experience and proclivity with web-tech may be open to doing things/seeing things differently. To get change-resistors on board you must make the process appear simple/easy and as good as the way they used to do it.

- 30 seconds Best example of an expansive wiki thousands of people contribute to it’s development.
- 2 minutes Situation – Working with an extended group of SME’s on a set of large/complex processes in SAP - Problem – Members of the training team were in globally dispersed time zones. Meetings for design review occurred during off hours for some of the team members. Also e-mail trails with documents and complexity of Sharepoint sites were causing problems with document control and versioning. Players – Instructional design/development team (3), SME’s, Project Stakeholders Outcome – Users able to collaborate much more easily. Less confusion. Better documentation

- 2 minutes Quick collaboration – text and visual collaboration. People on a team can share and build on text. They can also find out who’s knowledgable in a topic or has skills in an area they’re weak at. People can continually contribute to topics or areas, problems that need solving and all people in the group can visibly see these contributions Group knows more than just a group that sits in silos and shares e-mails with only some or a few members within the group. Content Development doesn’t depend on who has the latest version of the word document? Version Tracking – many wikis have features which allow people to track changes. You can revert if necessary if a mistake is made Expertise – I can look at someone’s profile and I know what’ they’re good at. I can share with others what areas of knowledge I have under my belt.
- 3 minutes Collaboration and the idea that no one is always right are keys to the success of good wiki stewardship and participation Easy adoption might be a generational thing Individualistic Collaboration vs. Group Collaboration– E-mail chain collaboration is an example of individuals who collaborate in an individualist style Might be best to launch initial efforts to build a wiki with people who are open to the idea – no one likes to be forced into doing something they find alien with out an example of someone doing it.
- >1 minute Getting creative means using what you have to fit your needs rather than relying on pre-built widgets and features. For example we created a navigation feature at in our wiki template page to include a back to previous page and home page for easier navigation. We also used simple tables to organize our content.

- 3 minutes Combine all tips slides - Be Flexible : Let go of hard-line organization and categorization in the beginning Wiki content and organization grows organically Rigid structuring doesn’t work (though structuring the wiki portal so that people can find information is key). Also having a wiki that has a effective search feature helps. Train Your Group Build a sample site Let everyone know that they can take ownership in shaping the wiki Demo how to post and use Give lots of positive encouragement Have fun Every Gardner Prunes Don’t let the wiki be a text/content dump Assign people as architects or monitors Train people to think before they add Everyone should take ownership in figuring out which content should be archived
- 2 minutes Similar to Intel Group wiki however, design/layout is arranged in a more visible format
- 1 minute This is an example of a knowledge map similar to one we use in my current group. Designed in PBWiki Including your business process as part of your wiki is key. Helps orient/re-orient staff to group processes and flows. Suggest initially meeting with your group to brainstorm areas/topics they feel helpful to their job. You can use these topics as a basis for structuring your knowledge map categories
- 1 minute Few more notes on structure
