A Brief Introduction
I'm a 3rd year accounting student in the Telfer School of Management, currently taking 2 classes this summer, MIS and Managerial accounting. I expect to do well in MIS, as information technology, computers and the web have been interests of mine for many years now, and I've built a strong knowledge and background on these and related subjects. I'm currently also doing an online computer science course to further my understanding of javascript and HTML5.

My Experience with Wiki's
My experience with wiki's has been a pleasant one. I believe that it is one of the foremost crowdsourcing applications on the internet and that it has tons of potential. It is a medium of information cataloging that has the advantage of employing the entire user base of the internet, so that it can grow at an unparalelled pace when compared to a traditional information source. Information becomes available almost imediately, and there are thousands of moderators to verify the validity of the information and correct it if need be. The beauty of wiki's are that they can be applied to almost any subject and turn it into a collaborative knowledge base. I've already encountered so many examples of this in my lifetime, that I realize the potential of these information sources and use them daily.

Wiki's have often been criticized in the class room, because of the reported inaccuracy of many articles. I hope that one day, wiki's do become a recognized information source available for use in assignments and lectures and that professors use wiki's to engage more students in discussion.

It was once said that "one of us, is not as smart as all of us" and I truly believe that this applies to wiki's.
