For today lesson, the thing we do in class is finishing up our portfolio part 2 and in one part of the portfolio we have to put our search of information on the topic we do in Wiki.
That is the part which I do today and after contributing to Wiki, I find that contributing to the Wiki, the significant learning experience for my group is that we have a common topic to talk about and sort of having a communication to them and as we interact we might also be friends with one another.
By contributing to the Wiki, I will be able to share with them extra information I have found on problem gambling and the group of mine will have more understanding on problem gambling which I find is the purpose of Wiki. One of the most challenging experiences I encounter is that before I try to add information to Wiki, there are a lot of information posted by the previous batch wiki group already and the information provided are very detailed and well done so when I was told to contribute to wiki, I faced problems in finding more information on it which are different to what have been provided. Nevertheless, I still managed to find some things to contribute as there are many updates done by different website and from this website I can recent updates and post to wiki and therefore the wiki groups will get to know of the new information provided by me.
The advice that I want to give to the next batch wiki groups is that try to browse through the whole thing of the topic that they are doing first because when I do I find that there are repeated information provided which I find that it is meaningless to do so cause the reason why we want to contribute is that we want to let others know about more about the topic, if repeated people will just find that it is just repeating the same thing and therefore will not want to continue browsing it.
I would not really use Wiki for research in my own Diplomas because though it compiles all the information which I will need but Wiki allows people to edit anytime and with people doing so, the information provided might not be accurate and hence will not be useful to me. It will only make me have a double job to go check out if information provided is correct and this is also a time consuming process.
