 Good afternoon everyone, we will move to the next session that is wiki for collaboration and group projects. So, there are four technologies that are listed in this which we have come across either while doing some of the activities or explicitly as sessions. So, out of these four technologies which of these technologies were most difficult for you. I will give you 30 seconds for answering this. So, apparently moodle is not so difficult for many of you. I am getting a almost an equal distribution between 3 and 4. So, regarding screencast, so there are tutorials in YouTube available for how to do screencast and even the guidelines that we have given are quite self-explanatory. So, please make use of that or else what you can do is post your query in the peer support forum so that others might be able to help you. In this particular session, we will detail about wiki which is a tool which you can use for collaboration and specifically for executing or implementing group projects within your courses. So, the learning objective for this particular session is at the end of this session will be participants will be able to identify procedure to follow to join a wiki in wiki spaces, perform basic edit tasks in the wiki and review a set of TPS questions in wiki and improve the activities which are not satisfactory. So, let us first look at what a wiki is. In its simplest of definition, wiki is a web page that anybody can edit. So, a difference between a normal web page and a wiki page lies in the fact that any participant of the wiki will be able to edit the wiki page whereas in a web page only the author is able to edit the web page and the readers will only be able to view it. So, some of the possible uses of wiki which in the academic field is for brainstorming, collection of links, building a portfolio, making lists to support meetings and also for group projects. Specifically across this workshop, you will be using wiki for two things. One is for a group project and another is for building a portfolio. So, before actually explaining the wiki task, we will do a tour of the wiki spaces in specific the wiki for trial that we have created. So, what I am going to do now is do a screen share and I am going to log in to wiki. So, I am going to explain procedure right from logging in to execution of tasks which are there in wiki for trial. So, first of all I enter the specific wiki site that is given to me. So, what I am going to do now is enter the HTTP site wiki for trial dot wiki spaces dot com in my browser. So, once I press that you can see that a request for signing in has come in. So, what you had to do earlier was give your username, password or join code. So, supposing you have not never registered for a wiki, what you have to do is so supposing I have a new username, let us say a b c d at e f g h dot com, password is some password. I do not have a join in code so what I do is do a sign in. So, you since I have not given a join code it asks for a these options, forgot your password, create new wiki spaces account, sign in with open id ideally what you should do is create a new wiki spaces account with your username and password and then use the join code to join this particular wiki. So, I already have a joining in this particular wiki. So, for the participants I would request the wiki facilitators to explain this particular process you also can use how to there is a modal document for this, how to login for wiki for trial, the joining codes have been changed. So, I will give you the latest joining codes in a short while. So, ultimately what happens is you need to have a wiki spaces username and wiki spaces account to access the wiki for trial, the wiki that we have created for wiki spaces. So, at this moment so the wiki spaces link is wiki4trial.wikispaces.com, the wiki for trial document is available in Moodle. So, if you actually happen to login to your Moodle. So, you see this particular document how to join wiki4trial.docx, you can download this. So, please do not use the same joining code, the joining code has changed. So, please wait for a while at the end of this particular session you will go to the lab if you have not created your wiki spaces account you have to follow this. At this moment please do not enter any joining codes or any particular logins to the wiki at this moment. So, for people who are not able to view the wiki for trial document it is available in document is available in Moodle. So, look at day 3 resources how to join wiki4trial. So, now let us move to simple edit options in wiki for what to do for simple edit options. So, you can see the options over here edit, this is for discussion, this is to see the revisions of the particular page and there are other options like tags, notify, RSS, backlinks, source, print, export etcetera. So, what you can do is if you want to create a new page just go to pages and files which is on the right hand side of the menu click the plus button and create the page name. So, specifically if you look at task 1 this has been explained go to the pages and files button which is available in the right hand side of this wiki page see screenshot below. So, this is the pages and files button give the name of the pages R C I D your first name I mean you do not have to include the greater than less than brackets that is just to identify your R C I D and first name. For example, if so I had created something known as R C 001 Jayakrishnan so I will just create that particular page right now. So, R C R C 001 this is my R C I D and then I am going to give my page I D. So, I will not use any template as of now and I will just say I will give a small tag as introduction. So, what the wiki does now is give me a page to edit and it will have the name as R C 001 Jayakrishnan and the tasks for this are given in this enter your details that means name college domain enter a table having three columns and four rows to enter the details of three courses that you teach within this domain save the wiki page clicking the save button. So, I am going to do this activity so I am going to write my name domain I am going to write as educational technology colleges I I T Bombay now what it has asked me is to use tables. So, table is a functionality within the edit page so if you happen to edit word documents or even PowerPoint documents you would see a separate window for tables. So, similarly the wiki editor also has a functionality of inserting tables you click on the table and it asks you the number of rows and the number of columns. So, here you need to have three columns and four rows three columns four rows and in this I have to write course semester strength of my class let us say course semester. So, I am going to write my course as pedagogy workshop I am going to write Jan to January 2015 as the semester because this is the month we are having this workshop and strength of my class it is so the total number of registered participants is around 4500. So, I am writing 4500 as my strength of my class. So, you can similarly write the course that you have the semester in which you are teaching. So, if you are doing it in a even semester write the semester number. So, typical examples computer science 101 or basic computer science will be a first semester course or first and second semester course and you can write the strength of your class. So, this is a basic editing feature in the inserting a table in this particular wiki. Now, the next task okay I had to save this so I am going to save it so the moment you save it you can see that a page with the specific IDC RC-0001 jacquery has been created these following details are there in it and this is available as the first revision of this particular page. It is now asking me to go to YouTube and locate one video relevant to one of the courses that you have listed above copies link come back to your page add a line at the bottom saying my choice of subject video is given in this link see this page for seeing an example. So, I have already created this particular page so what we will slowly discuss what to do in this particular scenario see go look at the next task go to revisions button seen immediately after discussion button compare your latest version of the page with the first version that you had created. So, I am going over here this is the revisions button so you can see the edits that has happened on this particular page across the past two weeks. So, I created this particular page at last at 11.45 am on Jan 7th and somebody has edited it on Jan 18th so over the past 11 days so many edits have happened so something that you can do in case your wiki page has been overwritten by someone is revert to the old version a first I have to compare so I select the first version to compare so this is the latest version and I will go to the initial version and click compare. So, you can see that initially all the new changes come in green highlighted and whatever were my original whatever got deleted will come in red so what I am going to do now is revert to the last known best page that I had created so let me see so this is the last edit given by me I am going to select this and I am going to compare it with this the latest edit so you can see that the details that I had created have all been deleted and new details have been entered so many people have had this query as what happens if something like this happens that means you have a you have painfully created a particular content in a wiki page but somebody has overwritten it right now so two things first one you can protect your page by locking it and second thing is you can always revert back to the original version that you had for participants please note I will give you the joining link at 3 p.m kindly listen to the tour of wiki so that you will be able to understand it we have had several queries as in I am not able to join wiki I created a new wiki I am not able to see the tasks so all those to the attention of all those participants please listen to the tour carefully take the help of the wiki facilitators that you have identified and make sure that you do the activities or the assignment which is there now seriously in the wiki in a clear form so we were at the point where we have to revert to the original version so what we do is go to the revisions it is taking some time so the process that you have to do is go to the revisions click on the last non version an option will come revert to the original one so I am going to the last non version that I have so this is Jan 7th 2015 1145 a.m see if I click this you can see the last known version is available over here which I have edited and I can see that there is an option called revert to this version so what I am going to do now is click on this to revert to this version saying that I will give a comment other people edited my wiki hence so what happens when you do this is the page got successfully reverted to the last known configuration which is available over here which I had created so you can see that I had created a course with the following workshops semester all semesters strength had given all these strengths and you can see there is a subject video given in this particular link so there is a link also now a cute thing about linking text within your wiki you can see that there is a particular text and I have to link an external website to this particular text so what I will do is I will just go to YouTube and get my videos so you can see I have the link of the pedagogy workshop videos so I am going to copy this now for how to create links within your page so people have written so just pasting the link is one method but a more convenient and aesthetically pleasing way of creating a link is supposing you create a text the link for the video so I select the text link and there is a button called link over here I click on that and it gives me three options whether I need to link it to a page within a wiki or a web address or an email address since this is an external web address I will paste it over here so you can see the entire YouTube link that I have already created have come to this and I am going to click new window option in this and create add link so what has happened is the text link got hyperlinked to the web page the YouTube playlist that we have for this pedagogy workshop so this is how you link external links within a wiki other ways to do if there are internal pages that you have to link then you have to use the option of wiki pages give the idea of the pages and it will automatically create that particular link so this is a most convenient way of creating web links and now what I am going to do is I am going to save it so these are simple edit functionalities that you do in a wiki which is sufficient for the group project that you are going to do in the coming session the lab session so all you need to know is how to access a page edit a page create a table and insert web links in your own page so the joining code for this particular wiki will be given in half an hour so all of you kindly bear with us till 3 o clock otherwise it is going to be a messy process ok questions as to where to use wiki and all those things we are going to see now so just quickly just hold on to your queries quickly participants just see how many of you have assigned group projects at least once in the past year share RC coordinators you share it through the numbers through a view poll so it is like let us say 50 percentage of you have done group projects you can put in 50 percentage if it is all of you have given 50 given group projects you can put in 100 percent so just take a queue polling within your RC and share the result through a view chat what I see is that the number varies from 40 to 100 percent so which means that several of you use group projects within your course and wiki is one specific tool which you can use for group project implementation and why use wiki because there is a need to connect and use various pieces of existing knowledge within a group project so it may be that you divide the project among students and each of them have to collaborate to make sure a final output comes wiki is a perfect tool for that refine understanding through discussion and application again for discussion and other applications wherein students may be at different places then wiki is a useful tool peer review to give and receive feedback you can use the discussion option within the wiki and more importantly what you get is stronger written communication skills at the end of the project but what you have to be aware is that wiki activities can be messy or chaotic without proper design and supervision much like a group project so if you give a group project and tell them to do it it will not achieve its intended goal so what you have to do is design the activities carefully supervise the entire activities that is happening within the group project may be a weekly feedback or by fortnightly feedback about the group project so that is how you should monitor the group project and the same applies to a wiki also also it can be seen that the wiki activities can be complex so many of you where having problems in linking in joining the wiki but they were not complicated enough you did not need any extra knowledge about wiki so simple tutorials like how to join or help from your peers would have been sufficient to do these particular tasks so just like a group project these activities could be complex but never complicated and another feature that you saw just now is that wiki can retrieve older logs that means what you have done may be a week ago you can see it through the revisions and hence you can resume from any point so many users would be familiar with the recovery point feature in Microsoft so you can see that the recovery points have already been defined by the place where you save the particular wiki page so supposing I have written a full page on a particular activity and I saved it and I went out and my friend came in and edited it so it means that the original article got changed now when I come back and see the changes and some of these are not applicable to me I can always have the option of reverting back to my version which you already just so now so I reverted to the version that I created on 7th January because I did not want the other changes to come in so a good functionality about wiki is its archival functionality wherein you can always go and see the wiki logs the revisions and resume back from any of the previous points. So what we are just recall what you did today morning you looked at the characteristics of good PI and TPS questions and you also did peer review of PI and TPS questions within your remote center so what we will do now is you will review TPS questions in your own domain so what we are going to do now is we are going to detail out the task 7 in wiki and the group facilitators have to ensure that all the members are doing the tasks properly in the wiki so TPS questions in respective domains are being populated in wiki as we speak so the task 7 has the details of these particular TPS questions and what you have to do what as a remote center what we require is review a minimum of 3 TPS activities in each domain so as a remote center in each of the domains given review a minimum of 3 TPS activities so you can use the checklist that we had given in the previous session it can be downloaded from the session slides or I will just post the session the review slide after at the end of the session so for the facilitator what you have to do is create a page for your RC as your RC number RC space your RC ID so in this particular page you have to populate the best TPS activities and one additional task that you have to do is supposing there are activities which are not satisfactory or does not confirm to the checklist make sure you improve those activities and populate your wiki page with the best TPS activities even the refined ones so I hope I have made myself clear so at this point what I will do is I will take some questions from RCs regarding the use of wiki so please note this will be a 15 minute session specifically for wiki activities so you can use the hand raise option within a view please listen to the questions and the answers given so we have a sharp deadline of 3 o clock to complete the session because after that you are going to the lab and do the particular activity so if your question is same as any of the remote center the question that is posted by any of the remote center please take a note please do not repeat the question we will stop it at exactly 3 and we are trying to make sure that all most of your queries get answered within this session so we will first go to Jhanamani college 1203 sir actually we are facing problem to create the grouping okay what is the problem all participants the query from Jhanamani college is about grouping in wiki so at this moment grouping needs to happen only within your remote center you already have participants from domains sitting with you within your remote center let us say electrical participants electronics participants computer science participants so all these are several groups within the remote center so for each of these particular domains we will have specific tps questions to be sorted within the wiki page so what I am going to do at 3 o clock is I will show you the wiki task task 7 so in terms of grouping what you have to do is group yourself within the remote center into several domains so domains as in electrical electronics computer science etc rc1123 oriental college of technology good afternoon sir good afternoon I have a question we have created a wiki page OCT but I think our page is not linked with the main page of ET can you tell me the procedure how to link I have tried but it has come back to the same page okay so first of all these particular activities are in wiki for trial so I am hoping that you have created your wiki page in wiki for trial wiki okay so the question from RC 1123 is that they have created a page and they are unable to link it to the main wiki page okay so I will just do a screen share at this moment for the benefit of all please make sure that you are able to watch it and you are understanding the process so what I am going to do is I am going to login to the wiki so this is the main wiki page that we are talking about so RC 1123 can you tell me the ID of your wiki page PED underscore 1123 is this your username or wiki page name my page name is OCT Bhopal so what I am going to do now is in pages and files I am going to check for OCT okay so did you see the screen right now OCT Bhopal yeah so it says you have not created a page in this particular wiki we have created using ET while I am logging links are there my OCT Bhopal and the ET repository okay clarification to all remote centers right at the start of the workshop we had given the link of our course wiki which is ET repository dot wiki spaces to all the remote centers so that you can do a course portfolio at the end of the workshop now wiki for trial is at completely different wiki so consider these as two different web pages okay OCT Bhopal am I am I clear yes sir okay so these two are two different web pages and the ET repository page will be used only towards the end of the workshop that means for the post workshop activity next week so it is it will be used as a course portfolio which will be described tomorrow at present you have to log into wiki for trial dot wiki spaces dot com wiki for trial dot wiki spaces dot com where each individual participant has to log in and create there on page there is no college page in wiki for trial wiki for trial is created for participants to practice wiki explore wiki before they finally do the course portfolio assignment and the procedure for linking the page is the same you take the HTTP you copy the HTTP address and paste it in the text where you where you want to actually link it okay we will go to the next remote center IPS academy indoor I have a two queries or first is on my self query when I open my wiki tutorial they open to account and username also after open access is restricted you do not have permission to view this page so what I do for join I don't have a join code so please how to go my join code receive your retrieve what's the process can you give me or suggest and second query is my colleagues it's very your submissions properly on my aside all the tasks and assignment but problem is there they not receive properly and submitted or not in assignment acknowledgement so how to go to acknowledgement receiving cases thank you sir carry on yeah so RZ 1039 had two queries one is that they do not have joining code till now or with the joining code they are unable to join the wiki so and the second question is on assignment submission they have not received acknowledgement of assignment submission so please note I will answer your query number two assignment submissions will be handled in Moodle so if you have submitted assignments for grading it means that it will be there so what we will do is as a another I mean a second check maybe by day 3 afternoon I mean the Wednesday afternoon will share the list of all participants who have submitted assignments from all the centers will be sharing the numbers so you as a remote center you can cross check whether your participants have submitted it or not for the participants who want to join the wiki for trial right now so what I am going to do now is I will do a screen share again so new wiki joining code has come MK 33 I will I will just post it so this will be posted in Moodle also MK 33 7 NX so please follow the procedures that we had initially shown that means login to wiki spaces create an account after that to join the wiki what you have to do is use this particular joining code MK 33 7 NX so a direct way of joining is so see this particular link so we will post it in chat as well as in Moodle these two have to be used for joining wiki for trial that means for the wiki activity that you are going to do now use these particular joining codes if you have not already joined wiki for trial if you have already joined wiki for trial you do not need any joining code you can directly view all the pages so I hope RC 1039 I have answered both your queries okay good now we go to RC 1302 Shri Buddha college good afternoon sir sir the question is regarding the reverting back which you have explained sometime before okay in the question actually like you have created a page on January 7th and few people have modified the pages and that can be found in the revision history yes my question is is it possible for anybody to revert it back to the original space or is it the owner only can revert back to the original document okay good question I will just repeat the question that RC 1302 has asked so what he is asking is is the reverting back allowed only for the creator of the page or anybody can have permissions to revert this particular page so my answer is it depends upon the format in which you create the page so supposing you create a new page what you can do is something called permissions so there is so if you create a new page you will have something called permissions in the right top so screen share I will just do a screen share so I hope everybody is able to see this the question is it only for the user or is it for everyone so the moment you create a page you will see something called permissions and you can see there are these permission options available for the page so at this moment we are looking at a locked page so that means the organizers of this wiki can change or delete this page but it can be viewed by anyone with access to the wiki so as participants unfortunately I cannot give you organizer permissions for this wiki but for the remote center coordinators will give organizer permission in the course portfolio wiki that we are going to describe tomorrow so within this wiki at this moment it is all your playing ground you can edit you can revert and it is editable by all all the members of the wiki so RC 1302 have I answered your question? I got it sir thank you yeah yes RC 1295 good morning sir the related question we are doing the editing option in wiki actually this group wiki groups whenever we enter into the domain then when we write our name and our options taking subjects then if anybody by chance removes our name then it also can make me reverted back sir that is our question the question is supposing you create a page and you write so many details and maybe after sometime somebody comes and changes it can you revert it so the answer is yes you can revert it please make sure that you say whatever you write so you will have a version of your page saved with the timestamp date and timestamp you have to just click that date and time and you it will show you that particular revert screen you choose the option revert to this version and it will be reverted back to the original version even in the groups in the this where we write our name and yes any page so the it is applicable to all pages in this wiki where you have you have access and you have access so it is applicable to all pages within this particular wiki so we have not separated permissions as of now so we will take two more quick questions d.y.partil institute of 1063 hello good afternoon sir yeah good afternoon actually question is about the security aspect so suppose we three staff members are working together on one subject and we want to access to give to these three faculty only and that should not be changed by any student so limited access how can be possible to control so the quick answer to that is create a wiki make these users as organizers so within this particular wiki you will not be able to make anyone organizer it is up to the creator of the wiki the permission is up to the creator of the wiki so if you create a new wiki within wiki spaces then and you add more people to it you will have the create permissions and what you have to do is the three faculty members who are running the course you can give them organizer access so the organizers will be able to create and edit the pages so the question was how to give organizer permissions the answer is make a separate wiki add who are you want as organizers the others will be members so typically your students are members and your colleagues are your organizers and you can give permissions such that only the organizers are able to edit the particular page 1147 kongu engineering college i have one question anyone can access the wiki like anyone can edit or modify the wiki so how secure is gonna be okay the question for the other participants the question posed by 1147 is how secure is a wiki so the answer is it is as secure as you make it to be so if you have clearly given permissions if you have clearly delineated the activities the permissions of each pages then it will be most secure and overall you need a particular joining invite so i have given you a public join code in wiki space other methods of joining are giving separate email invites to the participants so the security of a wiki is what you make of it so if you create a completely private wiki it will be totally secure but as the overhead is as a organizer or as a creator you will have to always keep monitoring the wiki and make sure that there is no what do you say disruption or other malicious activities within the wiki so have i answered your query 1147 yes thank you very much on other question is there is an option called we can upload the file is there any limitation like any size limitation for the file uploading yes in wiki spaces there is a size limitation if you are using so the wiki spaces is a an example of a wiki there are other applications like what you see wikipedia is a wiki there is media wiki all these are wiki applications so all these are pages web pages with database so that is what makes a wiki so it depends upon your storage space wiki spaces is a private wiki open wiki which is available for several users so they have a restriction of size if you want an unlimited wiki it would be better if you create your wiki within your own college so you can do your system administrator will be able to install wiki within your college so in your college server you will have to install the wiki application okay we will now take two more questions 1061 yes sir i have one query you said that we have to create a page for a remote center in wiki yes and you said that we have to populate a pps activity and whether we have to populate this pps activity for the entire participant or whether we have to segregate them into groups and we have to okay so this is about the activity that you are going to do in the lab right now so rc 1061 has a specific query about the activity that you are going to do right now so again what i am going to do now is a screen share and i am going to explain the particular activity if you look at task 7 create your own page so create your own rc page so i will just modify the instructions so the attention of all participants this is the task 7 create your own rc page use day 4 am 1 slide slide number 19 for checklist of tps activity add your details with the link of the page you created in the domain page so what we have is so i will just so what you have to do is there are web pages given below click on it and you will see a particular tps activities i will just click so this is an example of a question so what you have to do is so in this particular biotechnology domain page you can see that a course a topic and its t phase p phase and s phase questions are given what you have to do is so there are seven questions in this particular biotechnology page you have to take any three so supposing there are biotechnology participants within your remote center you have to take any three and review it and you have to use the checklist that has been provided and at the end of it create an rc page and populate the best three from an individual domain so if you happen to see civil engineering so for each of the domains you can see that tps questions have been posted what you have to do is review these questions and finally sort put the best three tps questions from a particular domain in your own rc page that you create okay so once again for the benefit of participants i am going to explain the lab activity which you have to do from 330 onwards there are specific tps questions given in the main wiki page you have to click the domain for seeing these tps questions there will be more than five or ten questions per domain so whichever domain is available you have to rate these questions based on the tps checklist that we have provided in the earlier slide within your rc page you create an rc page and write the three best tps questions that you think are among these with the question numbers and this has to be populated by 5 p.m today so you have time from 330 to 5 to go and explore the particular wiki activity and sort the tps question so the sorting is what you did already in the previous session so we are now doing it as a joint activity to come up with the best tps questions from a given list so this is the group project so you are reviewing the tps questions that are already available to create the best top or the top three tps questions in a particular domain the next question is from 1057 sir my question is regarding wiki login it is asking a joint code okay if the question is about joining code i have just now shared the joining code new joining code for the wiki for trial so what you have to do is register yourself in wiki spaces the joining code that i have given you can also use the document wiki for how to log in to wiki for trial so there is a modal document explicitly with screenshots on the procedure that you have to follow so if you already have a wiki spaces account all you need is this particular joining code or the joining link that we have given if you do not have a wiki spaces account what you have to do is create a wiki spaces account and after that click on the http join link that we have given then you will automatically join the wiki for trial okay rc1206 good afternoon sir my question is this if somebody have edited on my page i want to revert back the original changes how is it possible and where is the revert button okay so uh bunsell college i hope you paid attention to the screen share that i had done at the start of the session so if you are having doubt go to revisions so there is something called revisions in the wiki page go to the specific session or the specific date time stamp of your final edit bunsell college is asking about the procedure for reverting back so the procedure is go to revisions go to your last revision which you think is the correct one click on the date and time stamp on the top of it you will see the changes that has been made and on the top right corner you will see revert to this version so that is the revert button okay so go ahead pardon i want to embed my simulations on wiki page tell me the steps how i can embedded so embedding or linking your simulations as in you want your simulations to run in the wiki page so if it is a jiff or other formats you just have to give the link so what you can do is redirect to the web link of the simulation and give the text link within that particular so we have given you the procedure of how to create web links use the same procedure for embedding the link can i access globally my wiki page if you have a sign in you can access it from anywhere it is worldwide web okay so i will move to the next center rc 1341 good afternoon sir good afternoon sir you explained clearly about how to create wiki page i want explanation about we want explanation about how to create wiki group sir we already created wiki page individually so creating a wiki group at this point is out of scope we will tell you about wiki groups when we deal course portfolio so this is what you are asking is at a higher level for this particular assignment and hence we will definitely deal with creating wiki groups but we will deal it with in tomorrow's course portfolio assignment so the last two questions this is from rc 1085 nirma university actually sir before few minutes you had explained the procedure how to revert back and also change the permission of the page that we have created but once we have created the page like suppose tps constructor page that was created by us we are not able to locate the permission tab from where to change the permission okay you cancer to that in this particular wiki you all are participants and participants cannot view the permissions tab because you are not the organizer or creator of the wiki if you create your own wiki you will be able to see the permission tab in the in your wiki so this is an exercise on you are using wiki as a student so we have given only student permissions to all the participants so we will soon give you a chance to create your own wiki and use all the facilities that are available in the wiki okay so this is going to happen in the next assignment okay so we will now disperse for t so thank you everyone
