After you log-in, click on the “Home” tab, then “Create a workspace”:

You will be asked to choose a PBWorks plan. Select the basic option which is offered to individuals, youth organizations and public wikis for free (click on the green “Select” button as illustrated below):

You will be prompted to choose the name of your Wiki using numbers and letters only. Note that the name you type will become the address of your Wiki. You must name your workspace as follows:

•    [Course Code] [Term] [Course Section] [G] [Group #]

•    Example: ADM1370W24P00G101

It is important that you name your workspace correctly. You do not want to be mistaken for being in another course, section, or group. Also, please ensure you have correctly named your workspace before you create and work on it, as you will not be able to change it aftwards.

Select “For individuals” and check the “I agree that this is for non-commercial use only” box, then click on “Next” .

A Welcome message with the name/address for your Wiki will appear. Use this screen to choose your security settings by selecting “Only people I invite or approve” and check “I agree to the PBworks terms of service” button.

Click “Take me to my workspace” button to start editing your Wiki:

1.2 Setup Your Wiki for Collaboration                                                                                      

This essential step is required to setup the Wiki for collaboration. Click “Invite more people” (in the upper right corner of your screen) and send an invitation to your group members become members of yourWiki.

A pop-up window will appear. Type the email of your team member. From the “Permission level” drop down menu select “Administrator” to assign respective permissions to your team member.

You must also add the course TA account ([email protected]) as an administrator.

YourWiki is now setup, and you and each member of your team can start populating it with content and features. 

Provide a name for the page that will be used in the navigation menu of your Wiki and click “Create page”:

In addition to the pagename, also add relevantcontent tagsthat will serve as a basis to index your new wiki page.

Each person in the team should create at least two wiki pages for which they will act as the primary author. Additionally, both members should contribute to the main Wiki Homepage (FrontPage). Remember that

each page on your Wiki should have at least two paragraphs of content with any additional multimedia (videos, images etc.) that you want to include on the page. If you obtain content from other websites,

please acknowledge this with a link to the original source. You must list the links to these sources at the bottom of yourwiki pages.

3.3 Editing Wiki Pages

In addition to text content, yourwiki should include graphics and

images to add richness to your site. You can add animage by

clicking the “Insert links” button in the Page Tools bar. You can

either upload your own imagefiles, or use a link to an externally

hosted imagefile. You may simply drag and drop images or files

from your desktop to the workspace page. You are required to have at least one image on the main Wiki page, and at least two other

images anywhere else on the Wiki site. The images should not be  random, and they should be associated with the theme or topic of yourwiki.

3.6 Associating Tags with your Wiki Pages

Tags allow you to index the various content pages on yourwiki using relevant keywords. Multiple pages on

the wiki can be assigned the same tags, and looking up these tag keywords would then bring up those

pages. You should assign tags to at least two pages in yourwiki space (ideally, more). You can do this by

going to a View mode of a specific page and selecting “Add Tags” from the right-side menu. By clicking “Add Tags”, you can start entering keywords separated by a comma to assign different tags with that page. Click   “Save” when done.

To retrieve a page(s) labelled with a tag, use the workspace search engine. Simply type in the search box tag:(name of the tag) and hit Enter. A Search window with a list of all pages tagged as indicated in the

search will appear. The screenshots below illustrate a search for pages tagged as “report”:

The search for tag:report produced the following results:

3.7 Creating a SideBar Navigation Menu

After creating a page, its title will appear in the Navigator section located on the right side of your screen.  However, to help vistors better navigate yourwiki, you will need to customize SideBar window by creating your own navigation menu:

While in Edit mode, you can insert hyperlinks to yourwiki pages, as well as any relevant external pages as you deem appropriate by selecting “Insert a link to a new page” under “Page Tools” section. This method  will provide more flexibility over labels for your pages that you would like to appear in the right navigation  menu.

3.8 Creating Links to your other Wiki Pages on your main Wiki Homepage

As you start creating different pages on your Wiki and populate them with content, you should include links to these pages in your Navigation Menu, as well as on yourwiki homepage.

To link each page from your homepage, goto your homepage and apply the process describe in creating your sidebarbar navigation menu.

You can add links to selected label

entering Edit mode and selecting “Add

Link” from the text formatting toolbar.

Make sure that the labels for the links

that appear on your homepage make

sense to the reader at first glance.

3.9 Creating Links for Source Material Used on Your Wiki

To complete yourWiki, you should add material from different websites in the public domain. Any material   you include on a wikipage (including text, images, videos etc.) should be cited at the bottom of the page in a

“ References ” section or by using the Footnote feature. You can cite your sources by simply providing weblinks.

A widget is a piece of reusable web content that provides additional functionality to you website. In this

assignment, you are asked to include widgets for RSS feeds, YouTube videos, as well as at least one other third-party widget of your choosing.

4.1 Embedding RSS Feeds

Find an RSS feed pertaining to your theme or topics!

For this part, you need to find and incorporate an RSS feed pertaining to your theme or topics. For instance, goto your favourite news site, and search for the icon or links to RSS Feeds for the site. Alternatively, you

can conduct a Google search for specific types of RSS feeds or sites. Once you have found the RSS feed that you like, copy the URL of the RSS feed.

Sometimes, you may have to right click on the link or the RSS feed icon () and select “copy shortcut” or “copy link location” or “copy link address” .

Add the RSS feed to yourwiki

Once you have the URL of the RSS feed, you can add the RSS feed using the following method:

a)   Open a page in edit mode:

b)   From the text editor toolbar select Insert->More Plugins…->HTML & Gadgets->RSS feed.

“Insert Plugin” pop-up window will appear. Enter the URL code for your selector RSS in the space provided and tick the “Show the feed title” box. Click “Next” .

You will be given a preview of the selected RSS content. Click “Back” to change the link or “Insert Plugin” to have that content on yourwiki homepage. A sample RSS code for The National from the CBC website

(https://www.cbc.ca/rss/) was used to illustrate the steps described above.

Caution:

Some RSS feeds are not compatible with PBWorks RSS reader. If you attempt to add a particular RSS feed and it continuously returns and error or does not display any links, please find and use another RSS feed.

4.2 Adding a YouTube Video

For this part, you will incorporate a YouTube video relevant to your theme or topics. To embed a YouTube video in a wikipage, change to EDIT mode and select Insert -> HTML/JavaScript which will prompt the   “Insert Plugin” pop-up:

This pop-up requires embed code available from the YouTube site. To get this code, goto a YouTube video and select the following:

•    Click: “SHARE”

•    Click: “Embed”

•    Click: “COPY”

•    Paste the code into the “Insert Plugin” po-up. You may modify the width and height attributes in the code before clicking “Next” and following the prompts.

4.3 Adding Other Third-Party Widgets                                                                                       

In addition to RSS feeds and YouTube videos, you are required to source other third-party widgets that you can include on your own Wiki. A simple Google search will lead you to different possibilities.

Typically, the website where you will find the widget will include instructions forgetting the widget code and embedding it in your site. Once you find the widget code that you would like to embed in yourWiki site, click Insert->HTML/JavaScript in the text editor in the page where you want the widget(s) to appear. This will

prompt again the “Insert Plugin” pop-up window where you paste the widget’scode.

Please note that some widgets may not work as expected on the PBworks platform. Finding a suitable widget will require some trial-and-error and experimentation on your part.
