=UPDATES--CONTINUING= 1. **PLEASE post your research logs in VISTA, not on the wiki.** The mentors and I discussed it, and we decided it would be too hard for us to see who turned in what and when if they just appear in random places on the Wiki. (A few students have said they didn’t get credit for their wiki posts to date, and I’m looking into it. I want to make sure that this doesn’t happen with research logs too.)

If you’ve already posted your research logs to the wiki, please repost to VISTA by Monday.

=Welcome to the ENGL 130P-21 Wiki Page on Issues in Higher Education!=

Description
Think of our class as a large research team and this wiki as a tool to help us share research that supports our writing. We'll use wikispaces to flesh out key terms and ideas that we come across in our research. For example, if we are trying to understand how the recent CSU budget cuts may affect graduation rates, we can post links to articles, videos, and webpages that help us in our research. We can also begin to develop a class lexicon or dictionary of key terms and ideas and revise those ideas together by creating new pages on this wiki site.

How Should I Use this Wiki?
As I explained in class, post your entries on the pages themselves--not on the discussion threads attached to each page. Just write it out in some format, like Microsoft Word, and cut and paste into the big part of the screen where you're reading these words right now! That way, when people scan the pages for links to interesting stories or articles they can use in their research, they'll be able to read them categorized by topic or issue rather than by the small groups we're in and who wrote them (as in VISTA).

You'll get credit if you post entries on time, on the wiki page, and on topic.
