Blogs and Wiki Professional Development Proposal: Summary

Many Faculty members were interested in publishing web pages for student use but conventional web page methods were cumbersome. Home access required special software and opened up security issues in providing remote access in the exisitng school infrastructure. The success of the BBA announcements blog, Music Department wiki and research into other publishing around the country pointed toward using blogs and wikis for Faculty to post web pages for coursework and sports at BBA.

Two students signed on to investigate blog and wiki publishing opportunities further. The students worked with Mr Provost and Mr Morrison to create a wiki that would provide adults at BBA with training information and answers to frequently asked questions.

On October 18, 2006 the students led an introduction at a Faculty in-service, followed by a training session in the Research Labs. 36 people attended the session and a large number of blogs and wikis were created and are now in use across the BBA campus.
