HCI Wikispaces

Web-based service which enables online collaboration of web pages in which each user can edit and save changes to web page content using a web browser. Serves as a powerful tool for facilitating mass collaborative authoring.

Current Situation Individual groups or teachers having already started using wikis for their teaching and learning Owners of these wikis will need to add in their own members and log in different wikis in order to access them.

Why We Should Consider Wiki Private Label? The school will have its own registered private domain and all wikis associated with HCI will be housed within. Users of the private label will only need to do a single sign- in and they will be able to access all their wikis. Wikispace private label has enhanced features such as unlimited storage, unlimited wikis and security & privacy.
