Overview of the Course
The PM 440 course, offered by DePaul in the fall of 2009, taught by Dr. Ruth Ter Bush gave an introduction and an in-depth understanding of collaboration using different wiki tools while communicating goals and objectives via web, telephone, messaging or wimba (remote in class sessions). The course was structured where teams had different topics (for example: wiki and blog pages or enterprise gaming) and worked at finding the tools that met the needs of their topics and how productive those tools could be in improving the ways in which we share knowledge.

Learning Objectives
Researching Wiki’s and Blog’s, our team focused on: Creating Deliverables for the team Setting Dimensions for each member Creating Use Cases for each Dimension Creating a Score Card to measure the Use Cases Providing the knowledge gained in class and on a wiki

Outcome
While working through our focus, we gained many different tools that could be used to publish or market as well as engage in different collaborative activities. The group learned that Wiki’s allow easy creation and editing of any number of interlinked Web pages, which also allow for collaborative editing using a web command browser, but its capabilities for being a knowledgebase and home for shared information is what it excels in. The course covered areas of collaboration and through weekly blog’s the class was able to discuss current events regarding project management, outside issues regarding knowledge management, as well as pro and cons in collaboration that face today’s market. Weekly discussions about the industry were common and gave real life support to data provided.
