serving up and consuming community content for chemists using wikis
DESCRIPTION
Wikipedia has become the world’s most famous encyclopedia using as it’s platform the MediaWiki open source software. The software is supported not only by the MediaWiki foundation but by a community of developers who build widgets and add-ons to extend the capabilities. This presentation will review how MediaWiki has been used as a container for a number of resources of value to chemists, specifically SciMobileApps, SciDBs and ScientistsDB holding content regarding mobile scientific apps, scientific databases and scientists. We will also review how chemistry content within Wikipedia has been used to enhance the content underlying the RSC ChemSpider database and how the platform supports an educational environment for chemistry students.TRANSCRIPT

So many Scientific Wikis…

And of different “flavors” Not all MediaWiki!

Wikis are “collaborative environments”…for anything!

RSC eLearning
The Initial Vision of RSC eLearning From last two years of secondary school to end
of undergraduate Integrated to a small slice of ChemSpider Introduction of more educational “games”:
Chemistry quizzes – e.g reactions Hosting training/educational resources Integrate to existing RSC websites An environment of participation. It’s a WIKI!
