This page outlines possible ways in which iskWiki! can be used.

Uses for Everyone at UP




Uses for Students


  • information on student groups
  • information on student sponsored events
  • documentation for group projects
  • archival of student theses



Uses for Faculty


  • a collaborative environment for class projects
  • showcase of class output (photo gallery, essays, video projects and so on)
  • publication of research and teaching interests
  • publication of abstracts, pre-prints, reports
  • platform for collaborative writing with colleagues (the faculty may choose when and which part to publish)



Artists


  • documentation of artistic processes and products
  • archiving of multimedia output



Uses for Researchers


  • profile of research projects
  • update on research progress to invite open collaboration and feedback[1]
  • work together on a document, and restrict public access before you're ready to share it
  • project documentation. While findings may eventually end up as publication or report to funders, a good deal of useful materials that are not included in final reports or publications need to archived or shared with colleagues.
  • archival of data sets



Uses for University Administrators

  • platform for university-wide collaboration
  • codification of administrative roles and functions
  • documentation of "institutional memories"
  • formulation of operations manual
  • dissemination of university policies
  • publication of updates, newsletters



When iskWiki! is not for you


  • not a glamour page for your cat
  • not a platform for blogging
