About

This wiki is an ongoing student-developed project that explores scientific, technical and social aspects of the 35W Bridge Collapse.  It was initially created in Spring 2008 by undergraduate and graduate students in the "Emerging Technologies in Scientific and Technical Communication" course offered by the Department of Writing Studies at the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities.   The site will continue to be expanded and improved by a variety of future courses; for instance, the Summer 2008 Editing class will be standardizing the text style throughout the project. At this point, the wiki is not open to public contributions.  (This policy may change in the future, but for now we are limiting the site to student-generated content for educational purposes.)  Still, we welcome your comments and questions.  You can reach the current instructor, Krista Kennedy, at kenne329[at]umn[dot]edu.

 

The site development and execution have been produced entirely with free web applications that are also, where possible, open source.  Since the spring-semester class was completely online, we also used a number of social networking tools to build community and manage team dynamics.  Applications we've used include Moodle, Twitter, FaceBook, del.icio.us, Thinkature, Flickr, YouTube, and, obviously, pbWiki.  Working with applications like these supports the department's mission of exploring emerging written, visual, digital, scientific and technical communication practices.

 

Since our work is entirely drawn from publicly shared resources and materials, we have licensed our work under a Creative Commons Attribution - Noncommercial 3.0 US license.  All of the images on our Flickr account are in the public domain, as are the PDF documents available on our 35W Bridge Public Documents Repository.
