Development of the WIKI on line
Medical Education information source
What is a wiki?

A wiki is a type of website that allows users to easily add
and edit content and is especially suited for collaborative
writing.
(Source: Wikipedia)
Nature says Wikipedia is
‘fairly accurate’


A side-to-side comparison of articles in Wikipedia and
Encyclopaedia Britannica revealed a similar degree of
accuracy on a range of scientific topics.
In 42 articles, 8 serious errors were identified – 4 came
from each source.
