Editing APSU 23 Sandbox wiki was a real pain, which I wasn't expecting according to the tutorial, but I guess you win some and you loose some! Library wiki's are awesome, but you have to make sure your students understand the concept of wiki, so they don't believe any little thing their impressionable minds may read on a wiki. Interesting enough, I feel that there should be a "higher power" evaluating wiki sites to try to ensure the reliability of the information posted to them.
Using Wiki's can be great, but somewhat unreliable in the sense that anyone can post and make changes. Wiki's can be great starting points for research being that usually when someone makes a change they will often leave references for where they got their information and these can be used to jump start creditable research of your own! I just think it is important for the person who is doing the research or using Wiki to validate of their own work to eliminate issues of inconsistency!
