3. What the wiki is and who it is for?
U100 uses a “wiki” as a means of sharing information and resources amongst U100 faculty.
Our wiki is both a “library” of instructor resources and best practices AND a space for sharing/collaboration between U100 faculty members.
The wiki is for faculty ONLY, not students.

4. What the wiki can be used for.
U100 is a unique course in the sense that none of us have advanced degrees in its subject matter. This means that we are all starting “blind.” The wiki provides helpful ideas and some necessary information (like required assignments and guest lecturer information) but it is not meant to handcuff the instructor’s unique perspectives/experiences.

5. Logging into the wiki (or not-depending on what you want to do)
How you log onto the Wiki depends on how involved you want to be.
If you just want to view pages, you can go to
If you want to use the “Faculty Collaboration Center” in the Wiki, leave comments, or edit pages, you must create a wiki user account or request to be added to the wiki as an editor.

6. How to search the wiki-tagged pages
The U100 Faculty Wiki is a “Web 2.0” tool, meaning that each page in the wiki is “tagged” with likely search terms. This means that you are more likely to find the page you are looking for.
At the top right of the homepage, there is a search box.
The wiki also lists pages categorically like a regular website.
