OpenWetWare

A wiki for biology & biological engineering

Reshma P. Shetty

OpenWetWare

OpenWetWare is an effort to promote the sharing of information, know-how, and wisdom among researchers and groups who are working in biology & biological engineering.

OpenWetWare seeks to capture information not usually recorded in biological research and offers a complement to traditional publishing mediums.

Motivation

As engineers learning biology, we struggle with the fact that much of biological research can't be learned from books and papers.

OpenWetWare's contributions

  1. Democratizing and disseminating content generation
  2. Digitization of biological knowledge, as it is generated
  3. Making biological research easier

Courses on OpenWetWare

20.109, Student-recorded data

"The wiki has also been unspeakably useful in developing curricula with my fellow teaching faculty and teaching assistants. Finally, with all the course material public, researchers and teachers around the world have stumbled into the site and have subsequently contacted me to discuss implemented parts of the curriculum in other settings. Other electronic teaching platforms exist, but none is so collaborative and open."

--Natalie Kuldell, Department of Biological Engineering, MIT


"This course has turned out to be a big success. I never expected that the students would engage so well in the class. One reason they have engaged so fully is that the students feel that they have some control over the content and they can see that the materials they post are creating a record and an organized resource. Hosting on OWW also allowed the more reserved students in the class to participate fully by writing down questions and comments on the wiki so they didn't have to depend so much on speaking in class."
