Wiki and project planning

A wiki is a great way for a group of people to collaborate on a group project. It is a webpage that anyone can access and edit to display information on 1 or a variety of topics. Wikipedia is probably the most famous wiki that comes to mind. We were introduced to creating a wiki for the purpose of using it to host our project dealing with the mapping of the trails on Royal Roads University.

We got introduced to doing Wiki’s as our project that we are presenting to the town of Colwood will be placed on a Wiki site and presented. We were given two main devices to help us with our project. The first is a website called tools of change. The webpage is helpful in the initial stages of the project. It has many helpful ideas to develop objectives, partners, informing people, targeting the correct audience, and choosing tools of change.
The 2nd device given was the ADDIE model. Addie stands for
• Analysis
• Design
• Develop
• Implementation
• Evaluate

This approach made it easy to get the project underway. Its very straightforward. The first step of the ADDIE model is to determine what the underlying issue is. The second step is design a prototype model, apply strategies according to the intended outcome, and narrow down the subject matter. The development stage is to determine the process as to how the project will be completed. The implementation stage is when everything comes together and a working model is produced. The 5th and final stage is used to evaluate the working model, and correct any errors found.

My part of the ADDIE model is the evaluation portion. So I will be tasked with going over everyone’s work, and finding any suggestions and room for improvement. I feel that this is a good role for me, as I am usually fairly critical work people’s work, so I shouldn’t have any problems finding areas for suggestions.
