Question:

How do the various collaborative elements of Opasnet wiki support knowledge creation?

Answer:

  • ???


Tasks

  • Refactor the current Peer rating extension. The new extension system should have two rating bars: scientific quality and usefulness.

Thoughts on scope

Possible issues with the rating system

  • Do users know how to rate pages? How do they understand the scale of rating?
  • Do users bother rating pages? Do users need to be encouraged to rate, do the users notice the rating tools?
  • Usability: are the rating tools easy to use and clear?
  • What are the benefits of the ratings to the author(s) of the page?
  • What are the benefits of the ratings to other users?

Discussion tools

The Discussion tools should be included in the study.
