Reflection on Wiki Experience

The significant learning experience for me is that I was able to communicate with other people. I feel happy that I can contribute some resources and put them in the Wiki for everyone else to see. I was able to share my knowledge with people on Wiki and I believe that sharing is the best gift.

As an individual contributor, I gained the experience of using Wiki. Never did I have contributed to other sites before. I am always the one getting information from other online users. Now I have experienced the joy of sharing with other people. I will be really delighted my contributions have helped the other people. I always ensure my information is relevant to the topic that I am doing. If there were any comments given, I would gladly accept it. Wiki is a place where people share their researched information based on the common topic.

The most challenging experience I had was my part on contributing. It is because other people had 'taken' the lead to start on the topic and so much information are already up there. Initially I was very afraid that I could not contribute much but however I managed to overcome it by researching more and find out what other resources I could add into the wiki page. It was tough at first but then it turned out well in the end. The quote would best describe this is "No Pain No Gain".

An advice I would give is to always to do lots of research. Even though the page already has a lot of information, try your best to contribute. There is always a possibility that some information may be left out and that is when you will get to do your part. Elaborate on the points as much as you can and when you are able to do that, that means you have done enough research.

I would use Wiki for research in my own Diploma because Wiki is a place whereby so many people are contributing together and lots of information can be found. Wiki can help us to expand our knowledge and it would definitely be useful for my research in the future. No one on Earth knows everything about everything. Therefore, I guess Wiki is created because of this reason. Wiki is a community of 'flowing' knowledge, people from anywhere contributes what they know and the collaboration just gets bigger and bigger. By sharing, everyone is able to learn more from one another rather than just from our own contextual knowledge. Last but not least Wiki is freely accessible and this is an important factor for every researcher. If information is not free, the researchers would be having a difficult time and this might turn out to be a big problem for them.
