Welcome

Welcome to the University Innovation Wiki! Editing and updating a wiki may be a little bit tricky at first. It will take a few attempts before you become comfortable with the wiki format. If you have any additional questions, please email Katie Dzugan at kdzugan@nciia.org

Cheat Sheet for Codes 

For embedding interactive elements, you need to use a widget called a MediaWiki. Below are the codes you need to embed a Prezi or SlideShare presentation, or YouTube video. You will enter the MediaWiki through the 'Show WikiTextEditor' (the link is right above this box). One great thing about a wiki is that you can borrow code from others. By following the 'edit' link on any page, you can go into the 'WikiTextEditor' to copy/paste the code for the page you are populating with information.

{{#Widget:Prezis|}}


{{#widget:SlideShare | |width=425 |height=348 }}


{{#Widget:Youtube|}}


 To categorize your page, use these brackets [[ ]]. Between them, type [[Category:]].

  • Categories include:
    • ​Guides
    • Student Changemakers
    • Resources
    • Universities
