==Welcome to the Wiki site for INT 375 - Language and Society: A forum for student interactive learning==

This site is devoted to advancing your ability to engage a social technology that enhances the your capacity to participate in a learning/sharing community. A powerful feature of a "wiki" is that the content can be editable by anyone having access to the site. "Wiki" literally means quick.commenting (freely and unobstructed) on what each person contributes. It is a way of "giving voice" to ideas as they emerge, although perhaps not fully developed nor richly articulated. But through participative engagement and dialogue, value is created for everyone. We have a number of questions to address as a group as we organize ourselves in this community.

[1]

  • group purpose?
  • various contributions to make?
  • the role of each participant?
  • How to make steady advancement to meeting our goals?
