Wiki in Metropolia
Wiki is mostly used for teaching, project communications and think tank activities in Metropolia. Most of the workspaces are open for the entire staff and students of the school. You can see the list of the workspaces on the front page ("Dashboard") of the Metropolia wiki at https://wiki.metropolia.fi
The Metropolia wiki is operating on the platform of Confluence. The basics of the software are on the Confluence info page.
How to get started?
Students and employees are able to create wiki spaces for personal or collaborative use.
...
You may create a new collaborative wiki space for studies (including projects, reports and think tank activities). Collaborative spaces must be initialized at the IT Services before use. Send a free-form request to Helpdesk (https://hd.metropolia.fi).
It is recommended to write your thesis on your personal wiki space.
