| + | ==Three weeks into the wikivet project (or thereabouts)== |
| + | |
| + | ===Sections I've been working on=== |
| + | * [[Alimentary System - Pathology]] |
| + | * [[:Category:Nervous System - Pathology]] |
| + | * [[:Category:Pathology Flashcards|Flashcards - Pathology]] |
| + | * [[Viruses]] |
| + | |
| + | ===What I feel I've gained so far from being involved in the project=== |
| + | * Building a site that is going to be of significant benefit to students and interns |
| + | * I feel quite Wikicompetent! |
| + | * Being part of a team and watching the site grow because of the group effort. |
| + | |
| + | ===Problems or issues that I've had or can forsee=== |
| + | * No problems as yet I've not been able to resolve |
| + | * May need to adopt a better naming system for pages as some are quite vague and may need to be refined |
| + | |
| + | ===My suggestions for improving the way the project works for the future=== |
| + | *None really - working pretty well as it is! |
| + | *Once all the material is up it might be an idea to go through it all for a week or so and majorly interlink the pages |
| + | *Formatting contents pages etc. to have some continuity? |
| + | |
| + | ===What involvement (if any!) I would like to have with the project in the future=== |
| + | *Continue to imput suggestions for learning environments |
| + | *Flashcard and other tools updating |
| + | *Advancing to a clinical side of wikivet and implementing more concept mapping for these sections |
