Wikis & Rollyo

Wikis

I had a look at a lot of wikis, and it is interesting to see how different organisations are using them. Some use them as just another web site - they seem to be very locked down, with limited amounts of users being able to edit and add content, and provide static information. Other organisations are using them very collaboratively. I especially liked how some schools are using them as tools for assessment - providing instructions, the students create wiki pages, and results are also available on the wiki.

Rollyo

Rollyo is cool. Really good for if you are looking for authoritative information from big websites, or just want to cut out a whole lot of commercial sites etc.

I know a library that makes up special rollyo searchengines for specific primary school topics (ie olympics) It help narrow the search down and reduces the risk of unsavory sites being displayed.
