Wagnerpedia: a study of social cognition and wikis, linking academic courses and community partners

Abstract

Wagnerpedia was created for Wagner College to offer a place for students, faculty, and administrators to create and edit dynamic web content. Its design and implementation are based on participatory design theory, social cognitive theory, and web 2.0 technology. An ongoing mixed model study of Wagnerpedia is being conducted as part of a three-semester-long doctoral certificate program. In this study the process in which Wagnerpedia has evolved is being examined. The poster presented represents several milestones Wagnerpedia has undergone since its implementation in Spring of 2008.
