How does MediaWiki work?
You probably know Wikipedia , the free encyclopedia, and may possibly be a little bit confused by similar, but different, words such as Wiki, Wikimedia or MediaWiki . To avoid a possible confusion between the words you may first want to read the article about the names where the differences are explained. [ edit ] General Overview MediaWiki can be used in large enterprise server farms as in the Wikimedia Foundation cluster. MediaWiki is free server-based software which is licensed under the GNU General Public License (GPL). It's designed to be run on a large server farm for a website that gets millions of hits per day.

How to Use Google Search More Effectively [INFOGRAPHIC]
Among certain circles (my family, some of my coworkers, etc.) I'm known for my Googling skills. I can find anything, anywhere, in no time flat. My Google-fu is a helpful skill, but not one that's shrouded in too much mystery — I've just mastered some very helpful search tricks and shortcuts and learned to quickly identify the best info in a list of results. Sadly, though web searches have become and integral part of the academic research landscape, the art of the Google search is an increasingly lost one. A recent study at Illinois Wesleyan University found that fewer than 25% of students could perform a "reasonably well-executed search."
Traditional social presence theories (traditional as in classroom-based, face-to-face) and the few mediated social presence studies (videoconferencing, Blackboard...) have proven that social presence can increase student satisfaction and perceived learning outcomes (Gunawardena & Zittle, 1997; Richardson & Swan, 2003). But there has not been much done on social presence in learning events via desktop 3D immersive environments, such as SL. One recent and promising theory of mediated social presence is the Networked Minds Theory of Social Presence (Harms & Biocca, 2004). Immediacy is closely related to the concept of social presence.
