In this

00:00:07.220 --> 00:00:12.000
tutorial, I will show you how to work with
Wiki.

00:00:12.000 --> 00:00:19.100
First, what is Wiki? Wiki is a Hawaii word
meaning

00:00:19.100 --> 00:00:26.000
quick. It is a technology that enables people
working collaboratively

00:00:26.320 --> 00:00:32.640
and creating a document together online when
they are not at the same location

00:00:33.320 --> 00:00:38.000
and can't meet in person at the same time.

00:00:38.000 --> 00:00:44.000
To create a Wiki page, you go to your course
blank board site.

00:00:44.000 --> 00:00:48.000
Your professor should tell you where the Wiki
is located.

00:00:48.000 --> 00:00:54.000
In this example, the Wiki is located under
Assignments.

00:00:54.000 --> 00:00:59.000
I click Assignments. Now I see my group Wiki.

00:00:59.000 --> 00:01:03.000
Click View to go into the Wiki.

00:01:03.000 --> 00:01:07.000
This is the Wiki site homepage.

00:01:07.000 --> 00:01:12.000
A Wiki site is like a website.

00:01:12.000 --> 00:01:18.000
For example, if you go to the York College
website, you come to the homepage.

00:01:18.000 --> 00:01:25.000
On the homepage, you can click links to
different web pages at York's website.

00:01:25.000 --> 00:01:31.060
You can go to the registrar's webpage. You can
go to the blank board webpage or your

00:01:31.060 --> 00:01:36.000
department's webpage. Here the idea is the
same.

00:01:36.000 --> 00:01:42.000
When you come to a homepage, you can add links
to other Wiki pages

00:01:42.310 --> 00:01:48.000
and then click the link to go to different
Wiki pages.

00:01:48.000 --> 00:01:54.000
In a Wiki project, it is very often that you
need several Wiki pages.

00:01:54.000 --> 00:02:00.560
For example, if this is a chemistry class, a
Wiki may be used to create

00:02:00.560 --> 00:02:07.000
a lab report for a group. So a group of
students working together

00:02:07.000 --> 00:02:11.000
and create a report of their experiment.

00:02:11.000 --> 00:02:17.000
For this report, they may need an introduction
page.

00:02:17.000 --> 00:02:18.000
For example, you can click on the link to
create a new page. For example, you can click on the link to

00:02:18.000 --> 00:02:19.310
create a new page. For example, you can click
on the link to create a new page. For example, you can

00:02:19.310 --> 00:02:21.000
click on the link to create a new page. For
example, you can click on the link to create a new page.

00:02:21.000 --> 00:02:22.580
For example, you can click on the link to
create a new page. For example, you can click on the link to

00:02:22.580 --> 00:02:28.840
create a new page. For example, you can click
on the link to create a new page. and to present the data.

00:02:28.840 --> 00:02:34.580
And another page may be used to present some
analysis and discussion,

00:02:36.520 --> 00:02:43.000
and a last page may be the conclusion. So to
create a new page,

00:02:43.000 --> 00:02:44.980
you click "new link" here.

00:02:46.840 --> 00:02:52.180
First, type in a title. For instance, this is
an

00:02:54.060 --> 00:02:58.920
introduction page, so the title would be
"Introduction". Now here,

00:02:58.920 --> 00:03:12.530
you can type in your content for this page.

00:03:16.840 --> 00:03:23.220
On the top toolbar, you can use font

00:03:24.060 --> 00:03:27.970
family, font size, paragraph

00:03:29.150 --> 00:03:35.320
format, and even text color to format your
paragraph,

00:03:35.320 --> 00:03:37.080
your content.

00:03:37.960 --> 00:03:44.360
You can also copy the content from Word file,
if you prefer to create

00:03:44.360 --> 00:03:50.650
the content in Word file first. Or you can
also copy it from any other

00:03:50.650 --> 00:03:55.320
plain text file. There is also a spell
checker.

00:03:55.320 --> 00:04:01.720
For example, now I want to check if there is
any misspelling.

00:04:01.720 --> 00:04:06.310
So here it tells me no error. In other
tutorials,

00:04:06.310 --> 00:04:11.080
I will show you how to insert a weblink,
upload a file,

00:04:11.880 --> 00:04:17.550
insert an image, or insert multimedia material
such as YouTube video,

00:04:17.550 --> 00:04:20.330
and how to use table to present your data

00:04:21.560 --> 00:04:26.280
or to layout your page. So in this tutorial,

00:04:26.280 --> 00:04:28.760
I will just show you a very basic

00:04:29.960 --> 00:04:34.520
concept of the "Wiki" and how to create a
"Wiki" page with some text.

00:04:34.520 --> 00:04:35.460
After

00:04:36.330 --> 00:04:40.010
typing, you should click "Save" to save your
change.

00:04:41.240 --> 00:04:46.280
And in a later time, whenever you like, you
can always click the "Edit" button

00:04:47.600 --> 00:04:48.820
to continue your

00:04:51.320 --> 00:04:57.320
"Wiki" and "Wiki" to make any modifications
for

00:04:57.690 --> 00:05:00.520
the existing content.

00:05:02.760 --> 00:05:09.000
So after you change anything, you should again
click the " Save" button to save the change.

00:05:11.480 --> 00:05:14.040
On the right-hand area, you will see

00:05:15.720 --> 00:05:21.830
the page contributors. Your name should be
listed here if you made contributions to

00:05:22.090 --> 00:05:22.520
this page.

00:05:24.360 --> 00:05:30.440
You should also see your other team members'
name listed if they

00:05:31.100 --> 00:05:32.820
make any change or add

00:05:33.880 --> 00:05:39.880
any new content on this page. Under the "Set
Navigation" you can find

00:05:39.880 --> 00:05:45.160
a list of the "Wiki" pages created in this
group.

00:05:45.160 --> 00:05:47.020
You can click on a

00:05:48.010 --> 00:05:54.450
different topic to go to that particular
"Wiki" page, and then make modifications by clicking

00:05:54.450 --> 00:05:56.040
the "Edit" button.

00:05:58.360 --> 00:06:04.860
You can also review your teammate's "Wiki"

00:06:05.580 --> 00:06:10.540
page and write comments by using the
"Comments" link. You click on that,

00:06:10.540 --> 00:06:16.520
a text box appears, type in your comment and
click "Add Comment" to save it.

00:06:25.240 --> 00:06:29.750
And here I just give you an example. I saved
my comment.

00:06:29.750 --> 00:06:35.900
You see here it shows there's one comment
here. If you click here, you can see the comment and then

00:06:35.900 --> 00:06:39.160
you can add more. You can respond to your

00:06:40.090 --> 00:06:41.000
teammate's comment.

00:06:43.320 --> 00:06:49.480
So this is the basics of how to create a
"Wiki" page and

00:06:49.690 --> 00:06:55.970
add content and make comments to a "Wiki"
page. See the other tutorials for how

00:06:55.970 --> 00:07:02.370
to insert a "Wiki" page. How to create a
"Table of Content" for your "Wiki"

00:07:02.370 --> 00:07:08.520
site. How to upload multimedia material to
your "Wiki" site and how to

00:07:09.920 --> 00:07:15.160
use "Table" for your "Wiki" page. Thank you
