- | | + | |
- | == How to get a Wiki ==
| + | |
- | | + | |
- | * Your school may already run a wiki service.
| + | |
- | * Your school may provide a more general environment (Blackboard or Moodle) with a wiki module.
| + | |
- | * Commercial '''wiki farms''' provide wiki space either for a fee or advertising space.
| + | |
- | ** [http://www.editthis.info http://www.editthis.info] provides ad-driven space.
| + | |
- | | + | |
- | | + | |
- | | + | |
- | '''Note''': Not all wikis use the same ''language'' or interface as this one. This uses [http://www.mediawiki.org MediaWiki] the software behind [http://www.wikipedia.org Wikipedia]. There are other wiki environments [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_wiki_software] such as the original [http://c2.com/cgi/wiki WikiWikiWeb].
