Wiki-based Learning

Purpose

Collaboration is a growing trend in today's practice of software development. You may visit Wikipedia to read about Ward Cunningham and collaboration in agile software development. IBM has developed a wiki-based product for corporate learning. During this semester, you will use a wiki to learn how to collaborate with your fellow classmates when you are building up your C++ programming skills in this course. The students will take an active role in creating useful contents. The professor will play the role of an observer and a facilitator.

Benefits

• You will be better prepared to enter the IT workforce and pursue courses on open source software development such as OSD600 or DPS908.

• You are expected to use this wiki when you start working on the course project as a team. In order to develop professional presentation skills, please pay attention to clarity of expression and spelling errors.

Guidelines of Community Practice

The key ingredient in fostering a spirit of collaboration is that everyone is a CONTRIBUTOR to the learning community. We will respect each other and interact with each other in a professional way. You will discover your artistic potentials when you use your favorite formats and styles in creating wiki pages.

The Course Project

When you work on the BTP300 assignments, you will tackle complex programming problems under demanding due dates. You can support each other by posting your questions, answers and comments on the following links. You should try your best to resolve a programming issue within your team first before you post it up here. Please do your own homework before you ask for help or clarification. Take a look at Eclipse Community Forums and see how Eclipse developers and users conduct Q & A. Note: DO NOT POST general C++/C programming questions here.
