Since its implementation, the ERCC wiki has not only introduced staff to a new technology, it has also reduced the number of committee related emails, provided a one stop place for drafting and revising policies, helped the committee be more timely in making decisions, and has encouraged more widespread participation among all committee members. This presentation will demonstrate the process of setting up a wiki and will cover some of the benefits and drawbacks of using a wiki to facilitate group work.
