[edit] Introduction

Welcome to the BIOL3100 course wiki page. We will collaboratively create resources for use in the course. Example of the type of content this wiki can contain includes:

• SYLLABUS
• LESSON OBJECTIVES
  • Lesson Objectives Ch 1-6
  • Lesson Objectives Ch 7, 11, 12
  • Lesson Objectives Ch 13,14,16,17
  • Lesson Objectives Ch 15,8,9,10
  • Metabolism Thought Problems

• Wiki HOW TO GUIDES
• How-to Guides

• YOU can create and add content that you think will be useful for the course.

What is important is that everyone contributes to the wiki. There are many ways to contribute. Below are a few suggestions:

• Post content
• Organize/restructure content
• Suggest content that is needed

Wikis are an example of viral content. To quote from [wikipatterns.com]

One of the most useful attributes of introducing a wiki into an organization is its viral nature. Once a few people begin to use the wiki, they often realize that they could be even more efficient if only their colleagues were using the wiki too. Soon, wiki accounts are spreading exponentially.

What this means is that the more your use and contribute to the wiki, the better a resource it will be. In this class, we're going to be on the leading edge, demonstrating how useful a wiki can be in classes like this one. My hope is that as you see that it is useful, we'll be able to spread the use of wikis to other courses, especially non-IT courses.
