| Title: | Wikis and WebCT: Sharing Responsibility For Content | |

Three organizations at Washington State University - Student Computing Services, Distance Degree Programs, and the Center for Teaching, Learning and Technology - have created a customer support wiki for WebCT help. Hear how wikis break down the barriers to content creation and sharing as you learn about WSU’s use and assessment of this new technology. | |
