Welcome to the
APLNG 597(C) Communication Technologies and Second-Language Acquisition Wiki.
This Wiki is part of a "Wiki farm" installation, with the "seed Wiki" being CALPER's Multi-lingual Wiki, L*Wiki (
visit 
). Those pleased by the ecological metaphor will be further delighted to learn that the creation of private space on a Wiki, that does not conform to the Wiki thematically (but it also not a separate Wiki on the farm) is referred to as a "Walled Garden".
This Wiki is, of course, primarily concerned with topics and themes surrounding Internet communication technologies and SLA. However, you should feel free to create for yourselves "walled gardens", if you so desire, to have fun and explore various potentials in the use of Wikis. In the long term, if you are interested in using a Wiki, we can talk about creating a unique Wiki that is part of the Wiki farm.
You can find some information on using the Wiki at
AboutWikis 
on CALPER's LWiki. This will also be available as a class handout.
There are additional Wiki resources listed on LWiki at
WikiResouces 
.
Please feel free to contribute to these, and other, pages on any Wiki available on this farm.
Important! You need to login in order to edit pages. Due to an increase in "bot spamming", all the pages on all the Wikis on this farm require users to log in (rather than allowing anonymous, open participation). Although page owners can alter this requirement for individual pages, CALPER recommends against this. (See the
Why Log in? and
Who Owns This Page? sections on
AboutWikis 
).
