SharePoint Social Learning Experience
but a lot of the effort was discovery by the marketing professionals themselves. In the picture below, you can see some of the mechanisms they used: Social Bookmarks to share resources they found Discussion Boards to ask questions and have discussions. A blog that helped spark conversations around key topics. A wiki that served as a repository for the resources they collected. Virtual class sessions to share what they were finding Learners were encouraged to do quick screen capture movies to explain their thoughts around particular uses of Web 2.0

  • How do wikis and blogs fit together?
    A recent conversation has re-emerged at my work on How do wikis and blogs fit together ? One way is to think of the stock and flow model, wikis have perpetually re-edited pages, whereas blogs have a stream of date-based entries just like newspaper articles. A perfect example of this thinking is a paper by the CIA called The Wiki and the Blog: Toward a Complex Adaptive Intelligence Community . Wikipages can be seen as more definitive, whereas blog posts are about currency, opinion, etc… This is an award winning essay on how information sharing, and collaborative

  • What intranet CMS’s can learn from wikis
    The “Wiki Way” is getting some traction at the moment, and it’s often positioned as the replacement for “old fashioned” methods of publishing. In particular, wiki advocates target the limitations and failures of web content management systems, the tools most often used to publish and manage corporate intranets. Now, wikis are not a silver bullet to our information and content That being said, I think content management vendors and intranet teams can learn from wiki products, and can make some simple changes to improve outcomes: Intranets

  • The top-down and bottom-up creation of enterprise communities, and wikis
    So far this post has been about community creation, but what I really wanted to focus is on the disadvantages of top-down creation of communities, wiki, blogs, etc… That is, what are we, the company, and knowledge workers missing out on by not being able to have the freedom to create these objects (bottom-up creation)? Wikis - Top or Bottom This is a follow-up to my Community Lessons post, and Community paradox post. Top-Down community creation

  • Wikis for exceptions and process failures
    My example was the danger of using a blog as a solution centre due to its news type nature, and rather using a wiki for an official solution centre. In that example, wikis were described as a place to house explicit information, whereas the blog was more explanatory tacit based information, perhaps containing the know-how behind the solution. We may not be aware that the wiki solution page that we are reading, with My previous blog entry was a follow up on flexible tools not being immune to being used the wrong way. Why is the blog entry important?

  • Customize Enterprise Wikis In SP2010
    Primary reason I don't use wikis is that we have so much information to track across so many sites that I simply can't keep track of them and forget they exist" as opening statement - not sure this is a real argument, can say that about any new tool not just wikis. Valid point is the need for wikis to support rich information (video, diagrams, etc) and need for compliance, audit, DLP, etc etc Gail Giacobbe, Principal Program Manager Lead and Ted Pattison, SharePoint MVP "Primary Any new tool that requires behavior change can be a burden.

  • Using Wikis to Document UI Specifications
    There are several applications for authoring a UI spec, with wikis being a relatively new tool. However, designers should be aware of a wiki’s benefits and drawbacks for documentation, since UI specs uniquely reflect a project and its context. propose that the UI spec is best documented through a wiki when working in such an environment. Introduction The role of the interaction designer is to specify the interface’s behaviors and elements, so that engineers know what to build and how the product should operate. This documentation is commonly known as a UI specification

  • Control and Community: A Case Study of Enterprise Wiki Usage
    The Balance of Power There are a wide variety of uses for Wikis and a level of interest in using them that’s matched by an extensive range of Wiki software. Wikis introduce to the Internet a collaborative model that not only allows, but explicitly encourages, broad and open participation. One problem is the deliberate vandalism of Wiki pages. The idea that anyone can contribute reflects an assumption that both content quantity and quality will arise out of the ‘wisdom of the crowd.’ rsquo; There are, however, negative effects of this extreme openness.

  • Can Web 2.0 Really Help the Knowledge Management Cause?
    applications: a wiki and a forum. Using the wiki, we can create content that is both vetted and user-contributed at the speed of the intranet. These may appear to be strange questions since wikis are so viral outside the corporate setting. For us, connecting a forum to a wiki appears to have provided an effective solution. What is it we want out of knowledge management implementations? We want organic growth of information, but we also want an "official version."
