A collaborative task where three other students and myself constructed a wikispace for an assessment task.
Key Features to look out for:
- The professional set-up and easy navigation of the wikispace
- The sharing of 'Awesome Resources'
- The communication page
A fiddling Wikispace just to demonstrate the use of some Widgets.
