Are Wiki's Inherently Flawed?
I'm intrigued by the new tool called wiki. They sound like a great way to employ the knowledge and energy of many people to contribute to the group's understanding. A simple way to let everyone play a part in defining the key terms we use in our work world. A community glossary, so to speak.
I haven't explored too far into the use of Wiki technology for corporate e-Learning (yet). But Will Thalheimer's article about the problems that arise from inaccuracies - or blatent fraud - shows a dark side of wiki's. Maybe they aren't a reliable way to capture corporate knowledge.
His article is a good read for those that have an interest in wiki's. http://www.willatworklearning.com/2005/12/are_wikis_inher.html
