UBC Wiki:About

The UBC Wiki is a shared space for use by students, staff, and faculty at the University of British Columbia. It serves as a course repository, a personal and collaborative work space, a documentation depository, and a growing guide to everything and anything UBC. The information, resources, and links that it contains are created, expanded, and annotated by its users. It is constantly evolving and changing because every member can add to it and edit any page. The UBC Wiki is administered by the Center for Teaching, Learning and Technology.

Organization and Purpose

A wiki is a website that stores information which is collectively created and edited. The UBC Wiki is both an information repository and a collaborative writing space. It is organized into different collections to accommodate its different purposes:

The root of the wiki is open space for articles related to the University of British Columbia.
Course-based content or activities should go to Course space. Here is a sample.
Documentation space is provided for documentation, support and other similar content. Here it is in action.
The Sandbox is your place to test, play, and work with the UBC Wiki.
