| == Wikipedia for the Physiotherapy Community ==
| |
| | |
| Physiopedia is a wiki. A Wiki is a website that allows users to easily edit and contribute to that website. Wikis are particularly suited to collaborative group authoring of documents and websites. The most famous example of a Wiki is [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page Wikipedia], a very extensive online encyclopaedia that allows anyone to add to and edit its entries.
| |
| | |
| == Wikis for Disseminating Knowledge ==
| |
| | |
| The nature of wikis means they offer a number of benefits to clinicians who have specific expert knowledge to disseminate:
| |
| | |
| *Writing on a wiki enables information to be immediately published on the web for the public to read.
| |
| *Wikis can be edited and entries published without knowledge of special web development tools.
| |
| *A wiki can be continually updated as new knowledge emerges.
| |
| | |
