Wikipedia Tool

This article is about the type of website. For the article about Wikipedia A wiki is an application, typically a web application, which allows collaborative modification, extension, or deletion of its content and structure. In a typical wiki, text is written using a simplified markup language (known as "wiki markup") or a rich-text editor. While a wiki is a type of content management system, it differs from a blog or most other such systems in that the content is created without any defined owner or leader, and wikis have little implicit structure, allowing structure to emerge according to the needs of the users. The encyclopedia project Wikipedia is the most popular wiki on the public web in terms of page views,[3] but there are many sites running many different kinds of wiki software. Wikis can serve many different purposes both public and private, including knowledge management,notetaking, community websites and intranets. Some permit control over different functions (levels of access). For example, editing rights may permit changing, adding or removing material. Others may permit access without enforcing access control. Other rules may also be imposed to organize content.

When using Wikipedia in a class assignment, student motivations and learning outcomes vary widely, but one constant is that students are more engaged in a Wikipedia assignment than a traditional assignment. Here are some of the benefits students state for using Wikipedia in the classroom: The global audience, The usefulness of the assignment, The feedback, The different experience and so on. With this tool I would make students create their own information and share it throgh this tool and and show them, the way how it works effectively and how many things they will learn, in order to increase their vocabulary in English and that the inforamtion they look for, must be reliable and no plajarism in it.

The importance of using this tool is because through it, we can browse to get and provide good information on an specific topic and make anyone understand what is being taught. Besides, this tool is very important because is a wide-open space to show easily what we want to share. Any ideas clearly written could be useful for the person who reads it. On the other hand, Subscribers to the popular news or blog often face the problem of information overload as these feed sources usually deliver large number of items periodically. One solution to this problem could be clustering similar items in the feed reader to make the information more manageable for a user. Clustering items at the feed reader end is a challenging task as usually only a small part of the actual article is received through the feed. In this paper, we propose a method of improving the accuracy of clustering short texts by enriching their representation with additional features from Wikipedia. Empirical results indicate that this enriched representation of text items can substantially improve the clustering accuracy when compared to the conventional bag of words representation.

Finally, nowadays, technology has been one of the most important elements or tools that we can benefit, in order to make work and learning easier.
