About the presenter
Olga Cavalli is a professor at the Universidad de Buenos Aires, the ITBA and the Instituto del Servicio Exterior de la Nación ISEN.
Abstract
For a long time research works done during the academic semester or scholar year are usually presented in print form to the professor to be then corrected and approved. Those proofed works, several of which could be of great use to other students or teachers, are generally lost and only a few of them can be found at the universities' libraries. At the "Introduction to technology" professorship we have been using Wikipedia for two years to publish the researched information, specially in subjects related to Argentina, and preferably in Spanish, The works are published once approved by the professors, while for the research and its approval a private wiki is used among the members of the professorship and its students.
