When it comes to Wikis, I am not completely sold on the world wide use of them. I understand the concept is to allow for collaboration among larger groups of individuals, but I see one major flaw with this. Where is the certification of the members in the Wiki? How do we know that what is being posted is true and accurate? As a teacher whose students are required to do research, I insist that all of their research sources are able to be verified. With a Wiki, there is little to no verification of information. This essentially makes them useless in terms of research.
I would rather spend my time on something that can be easily verified and is able to lend quality to my research and learning. While Wikis can provide you with other people's opinion, I really don't care about the opinion of strangers.
