| - | Course wikis are now arranged by the instructor's last name. We will put links to course wikis that are active on the dept. wiki front page. You can use the "Index" tool to locate all the files under your name even if they are not linked on the front page. | + | ==To request a new course wiki or to have an old one resurrected, please email Jon or Ernie.== |
| - | In the past many of the course wikis have used the username "student" for read-only access to the wiki. In the new wiki system, we have to give each course wiki a different username for the "student" account or they will have access to more wikis than intended. The default username we used in transferring wikis from the old system is the course number, e.g. "7102-002". The password is the same as on the old system. | + | Course wikis are stored in individual instructor folders in the "courses" folder on the wiki server. At the beginning of a given semester, we will put links to course wikis that are active on the dept. wiki front page. You can use the "Index" tool to locate all the files under your name even if they are not linked on the front page. |
