Welcome to your Instructional Design TeamWiki

**Please Note:**
==**February 12, 2018: Please note that Tangient, the company that hosts the University of Akron Wikispaces, has informed us of their intent to close down the platform by the end of this calendar year . Accordingly, The University of Akron will stop hosting class wikis at the end of the Spring 2018 semester. We are also generating documentation to help our students and faculty export their content from Wikispaces and compiling a set of of alternate platforms. **==

=This wiki was developed in the Spring of 2011 as an ID project. The site will provide a collaborative place for teams to find each other and then collect their documents and work. If you haven't already done so, please make sure that you have purchased all of the **required equipment** for the IT program! A headset with microphone and a webcam will be used during this course. If you are in need of suggestions as to what brands to purchase, you can find this information in, **Recommended Equipment link on the left.** =

In theTutorials page you will find guidelines for uploading your **introduction video which will be the way your teams are developed. Since our class is fully online we don't have the advantage of meeting each other in the first week to form teams. This will be done in this online space.**

This wikispace also provides you with a list of possible **Web 2.0 tools** to use for group collaboration. Please take some time this week to explore and familiarize yourself with some of these options and begin to decide what tools will fit your team.

Once you have created your team, please work with your team members to begin personalizing your **Team Wikispace pages**. Your team will be able to add more information to this page as the semester progresses.
