The Wiki Has Landed

We've jumped aboard the Wiki train and have posted links to our Wiki from the LearnOutLoud homepage. For those of you who aren't familiar with what a Wiki is, it's a collaborative content management system. The most recognized example of a Wiki is Wikipedia, the Wiki-based encylopedia. Here's the link to our new Wiki Help Center:

There are a couple of reasons why we're employing a Wiki here at LearnOutLoud. First, it's incredibly easy for us to edit it so it makes it easier for us to get up FAQs and other content up. Second, it allows you to help us make the site better by posting suggestions, questions, etc. Certain sections of the Wiki are wide open for editing and others require you to create a quick user account first (sorry, we haven't integrated this with our main account system yet).

A few sections you may want to check out:

Contact Us - Everything you need to get a hold of us

Frequently Asked Questions - Here's where we try to answer your questions before you ask them.

Volunteer Opportunities - A few opportunities to help out with LearnOutLoud.

Testimonials - What people are saying about us

We'll have a lot more up soon. And while I'm on the subject of Wikis let me provide a link to donate to Wikimedia Foundation. Software like Wikimedia (which powers our Wiki) and websites like Wikipedia represent a big part of the future of online collaboration and education. We've donated to the Wikimedia Foundation and we encourage you to do likewise.
