OWW in the classroom
MIT undergrads have recently been adding new data to OpenWetWare in the form of on-line lab entries and protocol updates. This years students in Biological Engineering BE 109 are signing up for accounts on the wiki system originally designed for open protocol sharing. Along with other course material, images from gels run in the labs each week are uploaded to the site and students encouraged to comment, edit and discuss the protocols and procedures. OpenWetWare, which launched last year, now hosts over 30 different lab web pages from 18 difference universities. This is the 4th course that has moved its content onto the wiki and others are set to follow according to MIT's Drew Endy, one of the course instructors. All users are welcome to add their course material to OWW.
OpenWetWare: a new look
The latest OWW logo ideas have just been posted. The OWW steering committee who are responsible for the development of the wiki, have been collecting feedback from since the beginning of the year. After the 5th round of images from graphic designer Jen Cook-Chrysos, the opportunity to give feedback is coming to a close. The new logo is likely to accompany a new look to the OWW main page. Everyone is encouraged to leave feedback and to be part of the OWW community.
