The wiki is our internal webspace, where you can create and edit content collaboratively. Spaces can be restricted, making it ideal for publishing work in progress or team-specific information.
Eligibility
The wiki is primarily for staff but can also be used by students.
A wiki space is ideal for publishing content and collaborating with others. You can quickly create web pages, from simple text to adding audio, video, checklists, tags and custom functionality. Spaces can be private to you, shared with specific groups or made available to the public.
It can be used to publish:
Content for large audiences
If you’re sharing content with large audiences, for example student groups or all staff, you should consider whether your content can be shared publicly. By making your wiki space public, users don’t need to log in and can view content anonymously. This saves on licensing costs and is more economical for the University. (Find out more about setting wiki restrictions and implications.)
