I feel this collaborative environment would help everyone pool in their information and make for a better learning experience for this class as a whole.My expectations for myself is to significantly contribute to this wikispace and make a difference with my supported opinions on topics.I am new to wikispaces and I have yet to post a significant contribution.I recognize that there is not much time left and I will be starting soon enough to put my opinions forward in this wikispace.

I havent as yet changed anyone's postings but when I do, I would choose a posting to change only if i know i can significantly make an addition or change to that post. My thoughts on adding, editing or re-arranging other people's work is that it is indeed an interesting form of posting online but it makes for an environment where everyone shares their knowledge and since we know nobody's perfect, the wikispace could definitely do with changing people's ideas or opinions if they are not as good or as persuasive as they should be.If anyone did change my work, I would firstly be happy that my post was read! and also if its changed for the better, and the change is good, I would be happy to know something or realize something that I previously didn't.

At first I was very skeptical about this idea of online postings and learning online where everyone has a chance to put their ideas and edit everyone else's but as I posted my own and looked at everyone else's I realised that it was a very interesting and unique way to learn and pool in everyone's knowledge and this made me realize that it wasn't so bad after all.I wish that I had a chance to contribute more but because of a lack of time doing six courses this semester and the intense projects CCIT brings, it led to lesser time spent on the wikispace and in turn, less contribution. Nevertheless, when i started looking at information by other people it gave me a sense of understanding as to why this wikispace was setup in the first place.Suggestions that I have for improvement would be the editing portion of the wikispace, which I came across while trying to post something on our group wikispace for the project where it would conflict if someone else was editing the same posting at the time. It should only allow for one person editing on a particular posting at a time, that way it would be more organized and this queue system would let people add/edit/delete information without any hassles. Again things that I thought were most productive/useful about the wikispace was that it enabled people to put forth their opinions in a very constructive manner and enables everyone to help everyone else out with whatever specific or specialised knowledge about a certain topic that they have.
