From Eckerd Academic Wiki
The Eckerd College MediaWiki Software has been updated for this year. New are Cite, Poem, Flash, Jmol and Java Applet extensions which can all be used in your wiki pages. See the help page for more information.
Welcome to the Eckerd College Faculty Wiki. This site is flexible and easy to use, with pages that are fast to create and quick to load. This wiki does not require Eckerd College, or you, to purchase proprietary software (i.e., Apple, Microsoft, Sun, WebCT), and it will be available during campus evacuations for use by Eckerd faculty and students.
The default privileges on this site allow Eckerd faculty to read, edit, and create pages, students to just read and edit their specific course pages, and outsiders to only view pages. Faculty also have the option of protecting pages from student edits. Feel free to look at the namespace extensions added to the MediaWiki software if you would like to try this at your institution. If you have any questions feel free to contact Stephen Weppner, maintainer of this Wiki.
