CNM Wiki Essentials

Lectio 4. What CNM Wiki Is

Lesson Part 4 content

CNM Wiki is CNM Cyber's document collaboration system. Document collaboration systems usually help multiple people work together on single documents to achieve their distinguished latest versions. Before this welcome course was published at CNM Cert, it was developed at CNM Wiki. The course texts including its exam questions can still be viewed at the wikipage titled CNM Cyber Welcome Course there.

There are two types of document collaboration systems. Collaborative realtime editors such as Google Docs and other web-based office suites belong to one type.

CNM Cyber's document collaboration system utilizes another type, wiki engine, because of two reasons. First of all, wiki is more widespread in information technology development. Second, wiki engines are robust when it comes to tracking, which is vital in the learning process.

CNM Wiki tracks different versions of those textual documents that have been developed there. This feature is called "history." Using that feature, older versions can be accessed and any revision can be "undo" or reversed. Wiki is a Hawaiian word meaning quick and refers to fast editing of the content.

CNM Wiki is open to the public, but CNM Cyber utilizes several private wikis as well. CNM Lab, for instance, stores security-sensitive information, which cyber criminals can use to attack CNM Cyber. So, CNM Lab's wiki has to be private. CNM Certs features its wiki tool as a learning activity and CNM Social provides its communities with the private wiki too.
