Fuller Theological Seminary Launches a Blogger Wiki

Posted by John Saddington on Apr 11, 2009

picture-21Wikis are still “in” and I know why, even though I think that wikis are ugly (typically) and are oftentimes used inappropriately (meaning, that other technologies can be used to fulfill the “need).

They still work because they do, in fact, “work.” They can be simple repositories for data, and Fuller Theological Seminary has apparently found a good use for one with their new FullerBloggers Wiki.

Built on PBwiki, which has a tiered pricing structure (they’ve got a “free” one too), they’ve done a good job of getting it set up but haven’t spent any time in styling (not that you really have to).

But, you could…!

Just look at Dallas Theological Seminary‘s repository for bloggers: TheologyBlogs.com (It does need some clean up… drat.).

It’s “styled” a bit more, pulls in the students/faculty/alums feeds automatically, and is built on WordPress.

Not that there’s any competition or anything.

HT to C. Wess Daniels for the link.

You know of any other Seminaries that are aggregating their students? I know that Southern Baptist Theological Seminary has SaidAtSouthern.com

    this is not a wiki, but Master's Seminary Alumni have a blog that links to other alumni blogs…http://www.tmsalumni.blogspot.com/

    • cool! thanks for sharing.1

  2. Rockbridge Seminary posts excerpts from student blogs – http://www.rockbridgeseminary.org/people-are-talk...

  3. Cool – thanks for the link. I was adding and editing all the links to the Fuller blogs on my own site but that was just to labor intensive, so a place where everyone can add and edit with a wiki is really great.

    • Yeah, sometimes it just better to have them do it themselves…!
