Guest speaker, Dr. Eugene Lee

Dr. Lee gave us many ideas about wiki. He described how to create and use wiki to toward the digital age. He talked about “Collaborative Intelligence” and how people do well with partnership and team work. I strongly agree with that, especially I’m working with a Taiwanese Student Association. It was big challenge to me while I was the president in the student club. I needed to deal with young people who are in digital age. I also updated our club’s website and link the forum to the website, and then students can post their information through the discussion boards while they have housing problems or questions about school and classes. We also use MSN messenger to communicate with other student associations and other schools. At the same time, we answer members’ question directly online. It’s also like how to collect all the information together in order to help and communicate with other students.

Our discussion boards are just like Dr. Lee said “Participatory Knowledge”. We share information together because students can post and answer other’s questions. Although it’s not a business for us, it’s a service.

Dr. Lee also talked about how to increase and develop business with wiki sites. It’s about how to create a stage to develop “Business Social Networks” and lead employees to be more expert with new technologies.
