Angl-Am:About
Contents
Welcome!
http://www.wiki.uni-oldenburg.de/angl-am is the url of the English and American studies wiki at the University of Oldenburg. The platform is openly visible and accessible via Google — that is the big advantage over StudIP, and ready to be edited by every one interested as long as the community does not intervene — that is the major difference between this wiki and the institute's official web page at http://www.uni-oldenburg.de/anglistik/.
In order to edit pages you have to open an account. You can do this even if you are neither student nor staff. We invite contributions as long as they are subject related, and we appreciate clear name accounts (give us a few remarks about your person the user page you will get with your account.
What you'll find here
If you work at the institute as staff member or student you may use this wiki to
- conduct your course work in the open,
- supply research materials you want to publicly authorise (all pages have version histories which tell you who did what on these pages)
- make public announcements through the institute's calendar or the general note board
- publish work of your own among our [[Projects|projects]
- find information supplied e.g. by our online Studienberatung
We invite open exchange
Communication plays a big role within any wiki. You can
- post personal thoughts in our blog
- communicate with your colleagues on all the personal pages one automatically generates with one's account
- comment on whatever page you find within this wiki (each page offer a discussion page among the tabs)
Sign contributions on discussion pages with four tildes ~~~~, and do not hesitate to contact us if you feel lost. (Our Help links will offer a kind of technical manual).
