how to use all these fancy symbols! <br />

enjoyed today and looking forward to help creating a useful learning resource
 
 
==Three weeks into the wikivet project (or thereabouts)==
 
 
===Sections I've been working on===
 
* [[Intestines, Small and Large - Pathology|The Small and Large Intestines]]
 
* [[Urinary System - Pathology|Urinary System]]
 
 
===What I feel I've gained so far from being involved in the project===
 
* some much needed pathology revision!
 
* a better knowledge of pathology resources out there
 
* frustration from the fact that i still can't figure out how to get the third symbol on some of my computer keys to show up!
 
 
===Problems or issues that I've had or can forsee===
 
* its going to be a big challenge to standardise all of the information and try to have everyone's work in a similar format and including a similar amount of detail
 
* making it something students are motivated and keen to use as a learning resource, i.e. something that offers more than just another set of notes to trudge through
 
* editing issues if all students get access to editing
 
 
===My suggestions for improving the way the project works for the future===
 
* having a rough set of guidelines in place for the format of sections
 
* assigning some people solely to the role of proofreading and editing would be really helpful as there would be a chain of checks and balances that way
 
* again, this has to do with delineating tasks.  think it would be nice to have some people just work on more creative things such as quizzes,games, interesting case studies, mind maps, etc that give a more problem solving approach to learning
 
 
===What involvement (if any!) I would like to have with the project in the future===
 
*  hope to be able to stay involved with the project as it evolves
 
*  would like to be involved in developing a section dedicated to case studies, problems solving, quizzes, etc.
 
*  also would like to help out with creating an exotics section
