**Short Description:**
In this project we are going to prepare a a wiki space in wikispaces.com for improving internal communications for Computing and Information Technology department of EMU. As a staring point and for testing reasons, we are going to use WIKI for our own communications.

**Scope:**
Planning part of the project.

Schedule and Timing:
Starting date: 16.10.08. Ending date: 11.12.08.

**Gant chart of the project:**
.

**Project Teams:**
There are 7 teams in the project and also the management team that works together in order to achieve the project goals. Each team follows a single topic and will present the prepared materials in lab sessions of the class. Good Luck...

=** Project Name: “WikiIT” **= == · ** Objective statements: **== === o ** Communication Enhancements: ** === § To increase communication richness. · To develop an interactive environment which can broadcast the aims of the courses in most effective possible way. § To enhance communication between different instructors and materials they cover. § To enhance communication between students and instructors. § To enhance communication between students. === o ** Education Improvements: ** === § To enhance internal communication between different course’s objectives and create a conceptual link between course materials. · Courses in SCT Dept are covering different subjects which many of them are correlated to each other. An environment where all course materials and objectives are centrally available and organized will increase understanding the aim of the degree and also the correlation between those courses. § To create an interactive environment where students can access the recourses they need in order to achieve course objectives. · The desired environment will increase interactivity of students and the instructor outside the class time. Students can communicate with each other and express their understanding of course objectives in an environment which they have always access to. § To create an online repository of student’s achievements for each course in different academic periods and increase general knowledge. · Students can take benefit of the achievements of previous students and as time passes the knowledge of current students using previous practices will increase. § To clarify course objectives. ·<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; font-size: 7pt; line-height: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; -x-system-font: none;"> Students can easily find the path and objectives of courses. §<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; font-size: 7pt; line-height: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; -x-system-font: none;"> To motivate and raise competition. ·<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; font-size: 7pt; line-height: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; -x-system-font: none;"> The fact that student achievements will be shared in a public environment will motivate students to improve their knowledge and compete with others. §<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; font-size: 7pt; line-height: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; -x-system-font: none;"> To socialize the students. ·<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; font-size: 7pt; line-height: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; -x-system-font: none;"> Students will be socialized and the importance is the environment in which this process is taking place.
